Sound Fixes Pack v24.10 - ATS + ETS2 - 2024APR12 ⛽

[-MLP-]

Thanks for confirming it. For me even 100 is more than enough, but I play with both windows down.
Good to know that can be even louder if one needs it.

Thanks for the speed alert, thanks for adding a feature that should be in the game by default lol. Finally i can use it again!!

About the traffic sounds, i dont want to increase it further. I see no point. Because the volume should be adjusted in the fmod files, as i said, the problem is that the base vanilla traffic sounds are barely audible from the beginning.
It has been always a "problem". Anyways, its not something game breaking, just we will have to adjust to have a little less immersion than usual. For me, at least.

Also, there is a limit. It wont mattter how much you increase further the volume, the game will just ignore it. I already tried it.

We got a multi-seasonal update today!! v23.03 brings an enhanced lawn mower sound. It undoubtably works in making the game feel more lived in. And now the Winter sounds mod will mute it for realism's sake.

I've updated the mod to v23.04 on the Steam Workshop, but I need some help deciding whether to keep a feature because I don't use a shifter, steering wheel, and pedal setup, so I'll let you decide the final verdict.

v23.04 aims to improve the experience of the default gear grinding sounds.

If you do float gears, please vote in the poll above with your experience of Sound Fixes Pack v23.04 on the Steam Workshop, as I am unable to test the "floating gears" aspect with a keyboard and mouse.
Do note that other truck mods and sound mods can change the gear grinding sounds for your truck, so it would be advisable to check on a profile without other mods if you don't notice a difference.

---

Here is the full changelog of v23.04:

Default grinding sound when engine speed and road speed are only slightly misaligned should now be less apparent.
- This feature is exclusive to users with manual gear shifters only (not applicable to keyboard and mouse).

Rework of default gear grinding sounds.
- Replaced 3 default gear grind / damaged gear sound effects.
- Added 3 new variations of default gear grind / damaged gear sound effects.
- Damaged gearbox sounds are now an interior sound to allow for a clearer sound in the cabin, with the tradeoff of no exterior sound.

Changed and added a few sound effects for the default air brake sound replacements, now totalling at 17 variations.
1 new additional variation of the default air cutoff sound for when the air compressor is unloaded by the governor.
Horn sounds added to the civilian 2013 Ford Taurus in AI traffic. [ATS edition]
Engine and horn sounds added to the 2013 Ford Taurus police cars in AI traffic. [ATS edition]
Slight increase in sound volume of some of the default air brake sound replacement sound effects.
Slight decrease in sound distance range of the lawn mower sound.

There's still a few days left to vote in the poll! Thanks to all who voted earlier. From the results at the moment though, it seems good enough to release.

42% of the base game AI traffic sounds are now complete (▲ +2%)!

I like where you're going with the gear grinding sounds, although maybe the sound when you do a really bad change could be louder. Though my engine is pretty loud so that might be drowning it out a bit.

[SilverVisage2000]

Does the latest sound fixes pack work in ets2 1.45 version as well? I am not using 1.46 because it's crashing constantly.

AI traffic sound news
It's been a strong start to the year with steady progress being made for the AI traffic sounds. Later this year we can expect the majority of base game traffic sounds to be modded which will be fantastic for the game.

Poll results

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll regarding the mod's replacement for the default gear grinding sounds and if it sounds better for when almost perfectly floating gears. Despite the low sample size in the poll, it seems to have gone down well.

@Grizzly - Thanks! Well it's good that the gear grinding sound is not tied to the engine sound slider setting.

@SilverVisage2000 - Not the latest. v22.68 is the 1.45 compatible version for Euro Truck Simulator 2. It's still supported for a little while on the Steam Workshop but you can get it on TruckyMods as well when that version falls out of support

[nemanja694]

I seen in gps voice settings there is reefer option, so my question with addon and that voice selected will I have always reefer sound or only when truck is stopped like before ?

[Drive Safely]

@nemanja694 - Yes unless you deselect the reefer option in the Voice Navigation settings. It's a workaround meant for owned trailers to let the sound play as you move
