DCC Sound for Industrial Diesels

[pauliebanger]

Hi Dave,

 

I like your ambition, that Simplex is a 16mm model.

 

 

 

The main problem, apart from all the mechanical issues and the way the fan motor operates with PWM low duty cycle, is that the start-up and acceleration sounds were edited to match the varying fan speeds. This can only be done at project creation.

 

If you are able to accept a mismatch (if that's what results -too early to say) between speed and engine sound when using an existing project, the functionality is available in all ZIMO sound decoders, so it could be set up with an existing project. It's just a few CVs to be altered and some function remapping. I can let you know which CVs, but I can't tell you the exact values to use because there will be so many variables with your custom model. (Motor size and type, fan drive mechanism, mass of fan and so on). You will need to do it empirically.

 

Best regards,

 

Paul
