Open Rails Plays two horns at a same time when Bell or Sander is Pressed , in the .sms file I have set multiple horn files to be played at Random for the All horn triggers i.e. horn , bell and Sander.
For all the triggers all the files are played properly, if file Selection method is set to SequentialSelection, but the issue arises when the file selection method is set to RandomSelection Method, I have set this method to Bell and SanderTriggers, Whenever I press the button for these two tiggers, two horn files are played simultaneously at the same time. What is the reason behind this??

I also discovered this last night while playing around with the my Milwaukee Road 261 model that I created. One thing I observed is you can not have 2 completely separate SMS Files that are named differently with separate sounds for each SMS File for the sander.

If you do, the sander button tries to play all of the sounds attached to that button at the same time no matter what SMS file you are using. This is something that has bugged me for years and I could never figure out what was causing it until I was messing around with it last night.

This is why it is essential that the Open Rails team makes it possible for a locomotive to be able to play more then one whistle or horn at a time. One thing I have thought of is pushing SHIFT + SPACEBAR for a second whistle or some other key combination.

If other programs out there like TRAINZ can make it work why not Open Rails?

Multiple Whistles for one locomotive or being able to whistle a second locomotive in a consist (especially Steam Locomotives) should be possible as well as back in the day they used whistle commands instead of radios to communicate with each other.

It should not be that difficult to make this possible and hope someone will eventually. I also do not believe in this day in age we should still be reliant on the Sander button to blow a separate horn or whistle on a locomotive. It gets quite annoying when you actually need to use the sander for getting traction going up a steep hill or starting a heavy train.
