The most important thing is to somehow balance these sounds well in the interior in the FH5 and FH6 and also replace the saddles with higher ones, just like in the Renault T and MAN TGX E6 (older).
The saddles are not the problem, it is the Chassis. That's really too high. Imagine the current chassis with even higher saddles. Than you'll not be able to pick up any trailers. Even now it's often not possible to pick up a trailer with the 3 axles chassis, for example the Schmitz Trailers. Actually we need a mix of both together, otherwise the problem are becoming bigger than before

Three-axle chassis with the fifth wheel are actually a bit too high. The height of the 4x2 chassis is good, but the fifth wheel is too low, which becomes apparent after attaching a trailer, the front of which is then clearly lower than the rear.

Renault T or MAN TGX E6 in a 4x2 configuration have the fifth wheel literally a few centimeters higher and this is enough for the trailer to lie properly.

The saddle of Volvo trucks is too far back, especially on the 4X2 chassis. Has anyone noticed this problem?

I can't avoid but just laugh a little at the "even the sound is as accurate as possible – having been recorded directly from the trucks themselves over three days at the Volvo Trucks Experience Centre in Gothenburg, Sweden." part :lol:

I think that's only accurate for the new D17 engine on the FH6, not so much for the D13 and D16 engines, hopefully it those sounds were truly recorded for those engines they are not implemented yet.

Nah, the D17 doesn't sound that bad, that's a bit harsh, but the D13 and D16 still have the same old sound files from the FH4.

I agree that the sound of the FH6 is good, but the mixing is still bad. That's what's most wrong with SCS, it's when they implement and mix the sounds, the low revs and high revs are not respected, the person who mixes the sounds doesn't know much about engines or doesn't reproduce the values that the engine sounds give at the time of recording.

Otherwise, the sounds are really identical, given that they come from recordings of real trucks. I'm not criticizing that, but the mixing is also essential, and I agree that the D13 and D16 are still old sounds.

How do you explain SCS that a guy like Kapitan Kriechbaum, to name but one, because I won't name or talk about the paid sound mods available, are even better than your sounds, even though they're the same sounds from the base of the game, i.e. your sounds, but they sound better.

I hope that @kriechbaum could help to release the mod of the FH5/6 sound remix.
