FMOD Discussion [ATS]

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.
Posting in the Mods forum (ATS and ETS2) is restricted to sharing free-to-the-public mods and providing support for mods. For more details, please check the Forum Rules.

FMOD Discussion [ATS]

#1 Post by Robinicus » 16 Jan 2020 16:04

The original intent of this thread was to work as a bridge to support FMOD until SCS had their wiki updated at a level where users could go for support; it has now been 20 months without any substantive investment in time to update it by them and I have decided to remove the info.

When I can't even get a message returned this far in it is clear to me this effort has been taken for granted.

Please direct all inquiries for FMOD support to SCS

Does this mean that we'll be able to create high quality stereo sounds, or even have reverb in tunnels?
@kriechbaum .. what do you say?

Well they have had plenty of time to adjust to it. I'd like to think they got someone to train them on it. Otherwise, they are self taught. It wouldn't hurt to get professional trying on the people that sale it to companies. That offers the best support. I am sure Fmod will do well for SCS. It will be an upgrade for sure to what we currently know.

As a longtime Forza Motorsports fan (uses FMOD), I'm really looking forward to seeing what SCS does with it. Having different pavement types make different sounds, the echo and reverb in tunnels, hearing the leaves whip up as you drive by, and the incredibly rich engine notes from Forza are what make the game more than just an arcady-ish sim IMO and really add to the world building.

I sincerely hope that Kriechaum and you, Robinicus, are able to translate the already great engine libraries you have to FMOD as I think the vanilla sounds lack any sort of umph at all (I need a C15 to sound like a C15 and not a leaf-blower).

@yukonjack_ak thanks for the kind words, Kriechaum & Wilson212 deserve a hell of a lot more credit than me...I just took some of what they did and tweaked it to my own eq and level tastes....without their work I wouldn't have had anything to work with.

FMOD will make sound mods obsolete.

As long as Kriechbaum's sound mod is in tact and working well with Fmod, I am good to go. I started using his sound mod about a 1-2 years ago and I love my engine sound on my W900. The stock W900 actually isn't to bad to me. It's just not deem with that umph. Fmod should enhance our experience though. I'd be sorely surprised if the opposite effect happens.
