Passenger Information System
The Passenger Information System (PIS) is a passive system of RW Enhancer 2. It tries to reproduce the real world on-board and station PIS. This system is meant to work on every routes and no scenario edit is required.
The PIS system is running automatically if three conditions are met:
- You have started a service by using RW Enhancer 2 'Drive' menu.
- PIS is enabled in your settings.
- You are doing a passenger service.
Please Note
Don't forget to enable Passenger Service while setting up a passenger Quick Drive scenario.
Supported Languages & Auto Language Detection
4 languages are currently supported by the PIS system:
- English
- German
- French
- Dutch
More languages support will be added in futures updates.
The PIS system is also capable of selecting the proper language based on where you are in the virtual world of Train Simulator. If you are driving in Germany, then the PIS system will speak in German. If you are driving in France then the spoken language will be French. Everything is automatic and you have nothing to do. RW Enhancer 2 is doing everything for you.
The PIS system can also handle different English accents if you are using Azure speech engine instead of the SAPI engine. For example, if you are driving in United Kingdom then a British accent will be then used.
Please Note
An RW Central Premium subscription is required in order to use Azure advanced speech engine. Click here to know why.Please Note
If you do a service in an unsupported country, the PIS system will switch to English language by default.Jingles
The PIS system uses a different jingle for on-board and station announcements. By default, RW Enhancer plays the same jingles regardless of the country. You can customise the jingles for each country you drive in the advanced PIS settings. Jingles can be downloaded from the dedicated section of RW Central and placed anywhere on your computer. Warning: the jingle will no longer be played if you move the file after setting up the jingle in RW Enhancer!
