Help with installing Cabins and Sounds

[Philip]

Hello,
I have been downloading numerous trains from this site and their cabins and sounds that go along with it. But I have no clue how to install these cabins and sounds to the train. I have tried installing the files into the train folder. But when I start up the Train Simulator and I click on the train I want to drive, an error pops up saying that a cerain "SMS" file could not be found and "failed to create a cabin view." If anybody could help me with this problem that would be great, thanks.

So you one after another do? The locomotive+a cabin+sounds.

[Philip]

yes, but how do you exactly install cabins and sounds into the locomotive? What files do I change, move around etc.?

[Ted]

Just install cabin and sounds for the needed locomotive. In most cases you shouldn't change anything neither while install nor after, at least with the locomotives from trainsim.ru.
For some locomotive types there are several cabins and/or sounds, install each one for all locomotives to work properly.

Maybe you have to change the names of the .cfv-files (for cabviews) and the .sms-files (for the sounds), or the .eng-files (locomotives and trainsets) , if you want to use other sounds, or .wag-files (for passenger cars and freight cars, but usually use the Russian freightcars the sounds in the main-soundfolder of MSTS.

Thank you, do I change the .cfv and .sms files to the name of the locomotive?

[Philip]

I installed an M62 teplovoz with the cabin and sounds, and an error pops up as soon as I start up a game in MSTS

Failed to find SMS file
file:../../tsrLoco_M62-Alias/Sound.M62eng.sms

You can change the names of the files, or you can change the .eng-file of the locomotive. To change the .eng-file, you have to open it with a text editing program (like Wordpad), and you have to look up the parts of the cabview and sounds. I think it's better to give an example:

Before changing:

Sound ( "xxxeng.sms" )
Sound ( "xxxcab.sms" )
CabView ( xxx.cvf )

After changing:

Sound ( "yyyeng.sms" )
Sound ( "yyycab.sms" )
CabView ( yyy.cvf )

You have to change xxx (I don't know what it is in your train now) in the names that the original files in your train have now. For after the change I use yyy. This line's aren't in the right order, but it isn't very hard to find them. The lines for cabviews and sounds are often somewhere lower in the .eng-file. It's possible that the files are aliased from other locomotives/trains. Many trains from this site have common cabview and sound files, so I give also an example:

Sound ( "..//..//GP38//SOUND//gp38cab.sms" )
Sound ( "..//..//GP38//SOUND//gp38eng.sms" )
CabView ( "..//..//GP38//CABVIEW//gp38.cvf" )

Now you can change the folder of the sound this train have to use. I hope that I am clear now, if not, you can find a manual from internet.

Thank you very much! It worked. :)
