Sound problem in NW set

I noticed that the BLW_C630_NW_1130.eng was not playing engine sounds. Some investigating shows a limit to the path length for included sounds.

sound
"../../Common.Snd/BLW_Sound/Alco_S/Cen/x_630_power_cruise1.wav"

sound
"../../Common.Snd/BLW_Sound/Alco_So/Cen/x_630_power_cruise1.wav"

silent
"../../Common.Snd/BLW_Sound/Alco_Sou/Cen/x_630_power_cruise1.wav"

99 characters
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\Common.Snd\BLW_Sound\Alco_So

Since I assume that you heard sound then is your MSTS installed to other than the default location?

Correction

It is total file path length and not length of parent directory that is the limit.

sound
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\Common.Snd\BLW_Sound\Alco_Sound\Cen\x_630_p_cruise1.wav

sound, 127 characters
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\Common.Snd\BLW_Sound\Alco_Sound\Cen\x_630_po_cruise1.wav

silent
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\TRAINS\TRAINSET\Common.Snd\BLW_Sound\Alco_Sound\Cen\x_630_pow_cruise1.wav

Hello Gaetan,

Thanks for the patch. Changing the path to "../../Common.Snd/BLW/Alco/Cen/x_630_power_cruise1.wav" resolved the problem.
