I've wanted to install sound effect that activate as I'm reving up the Insight:

I've wanted to install sound effect that activate as I'm reving up the Insight:
- The overwhelming transmission hum as the Starship Enterprise is almost redlining.<
- Scotty pleading "If we keep up this speed, we'll blow up any minute now" as my Insight redlines. <

Hi Delta_Flyer:
___”Scotty” (James Doohan) was my favorite TV/Movie character of his time. Even ahead of my second all-time favorite actor, Jimmy Stewart! I will miss him indeed. I wonder how many children in this country strived or were enticed to become an engineer due to James’ character on Star Trek? I know he was one of my influences …
___A running joke that my youngest (his name is Scotty too, imagine that!) hears more then he cares to is “We need more power” in my own rather atrocious rendition using a Scottish accent. My son is pretty sick of that now but it always has and will far into the future; bring a smile to my face.
___Good Luck and God Speed James Doohan.

Re: "Scotty" Beamed Up
James Doohan is probably one of the best remembered and regarded members of the original Star Trek cast. In all the years I have been a Star Trek fan and have followed Star Trek lore, he was regarded as the kindest, most patient and most fan friendly of the actors in the series. Instead of trying to fight the type cast, he embraced it.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing. He will be fondly remembered by many. His contribution to modern entertainment will never be forgotten. Once you are on film or TV you are immortalized for all to remember.
I wish his family the best in this trying time.
Goodbye "Scotty".
