Level Crossing Bells

[Ralliart]

How do you enable the crossing bells for a level crossing to sound only when a train is approaching a crossing or going through it etc? All the bells I'v come across sound all the time, even if there's no train in sight!! Not very realistic to say the least. Anyone who can help out or who has any ideas to remedy this please post a reply, Thanks

Hi Ralliart,

Yes all the crossing bells I have found ring all the time. I dont think there can be a fix for this except an update by the ceator. I would imagine the bell sound is in the script for the crossing sign and could only be modifies by the creator.

Cheers,

Don"t they have a trigger radius?

I find it better just to take the Bell sound file away
better to have no bell than to have ring all the time

Do a search on the DLS for author name: BNSF50 These folks got the crossings down to a science! They are prototypical, and they look great, with many variations. Hope this helps your "not so real" problem!

Good Luck!

Where can I find a Crossing bell that sounds like this:

Watch the whole video. The crossing bell starts at 02:16.
Is this crossing bell available on the DLS?

Actually, it would be an annoyance if you were parked at the same location all the time, but when in a locomotive or passenger car, the sound is heard only on passing the crossing.
