Steam locomotive extra buttons for whistles (besides x)?

[koasterkidd]

Hey, i have a question: are there any buttons that can be used to have more than 2 whistles?

EX:Whistle(Spacebar), Sander(x), bell(b)

the problem is i don't want to lose those sounds. is it possible to to take, for example, any other keyboard key that isn't being used such as the button [pantograph (p)] for this?

I'm fascinated by these 'quillable horns' some MSTS folks are doing. Take a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp7DQoNVuHU Now this is all nice and dandy for diesels, but if this could be applied to a good steam whistle, and be able to have those short toots as well. I'd think it would make all steam that much more realistic then for MSTS.

well, i should make this a bit clearer. i do know how to put multiple horns/whistles, like whistle sequences that use 4 different .wav files for the spacebar. but i mean using an unused button, such as the pantograph button (not needed for steam) as a completely new whistle. i want to try to incorporate a road whistle, a yard whistle, and short blows that can be used in the simulator at the same time with different buttons. is that a bit clearer?

I've fooled with doing such for the late great Dieter Penzel and some of his 'driveable' horses and ox and cart contraptions for MSTS. What I found is that at least in a straight forward 'diesel' format, things like pantograph and gear etc. I couldn't get to sound.
But was able to use 'Wipers' and 'Sand' and 'Reset' to play unique sounds. If you'd like to give it a whirl, and see if it helps you over the hump with your steam whistles, you can download it here - http://www.box.net/shared/lc316dh6ov
