Amtrak ACS-64 for OpenBVE Development Underway

[Fan Railer]

Beginning development on the ACS-64 for OpenBVE, slowly but surely. Going to be using the exterior for the Amtrak ALP-46 for the time being. First order of business is installing that new "3rd Generation" K5LA:
OpenBVE HD EXCLUSIVE: Amtrak ALP-46 Accelerating 18 Car Amfleet Train from Station (3rd Gen K5LA)
OpenBVE HD EXCLUSIVE: Amtrak ALP-46 With 18 Car Amfleet Train Making a Station Stop at Sittard
OpenBVE HD EXCLUSIVE: Amtrak 3rd Generation K5LA on Amtrak ALP-46 (ACS-64 Development Start)

Although the ACS-64 for OpenBVE will not be available for some time, you can download the 3rd Generation K5LA pack separately here (also comes with Graham White E-Bell): http://www.mediafire.com/download/r9sc88czmgd3496/3rd_Generation_Nathan_K5LA_Horn_and_E-Bell_Pack.rar
The Amtrak ALP-46 seen here can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/y4qi4lfeereehq8/Amtrak_ALP-46_Expansion_Pack_V1.0.rar
The route used here is the Networks West Midlands route:

You can now replace the existing horn sounds in whichever trains you wish with the new K5LA sounds here. Enjoy =)

Development work on the ACS-64 motor sounds. I recorded the development as a tutorial which I posted elsewhere on this site.

Here is the preliminary version of the ACS-64 Traction Motor sounds for OpenBVE. Since no ACS-64 body exists yet, I am using the ALP-46 body as a placeholder.

OpenBVE HD EXCLUSIVE: Amtrak ACS-64 Motor Sound WIP V1.0b Acceleration Showcase (Temp ALP Body)
Some tweaks in V1.0b, including volume adjustment, and raising maximum pitch at high speeds, providing for a more seamless motor whine. Consist is an 8 car Northeast Regional train. Acceleration on full throttle from 0 to 125 mph is shy under 3 minutes.

I was wondering how to download the Network West Midlands Route. When I downloaded the route, it stated 6,000 errors. What should I do?

This question is better asked on the "Support Forum," but I'll answer here anyway. You probably forgot to install one of the object folders, or you installed into the wrong directory. Check the website to see which object folders you need again, and if you already have all of them, then re-install and check to make sure the install directory is correct.

Thank you and I fixed my problem. I apologized for that.  I was trying to make a new forum.  One more thing, i liked most of your videos. keep up the good work.

New data on the ACS-64 was recently released by Siemens:

I will be adjusting the physics of the locomotive accordingly:

It's great that you were able to get this sort of data. I wish that it was published for NYCTA rolling stock as well.
