This was a most needed upgrade. Can't wait to be able to hear them without someone talking over!

Cabin and animation sounds is probably the biggest upgrade, along with the transmission sounds being separate (at least I think that’s new) the motor sound is much more of a quality of life/background upgrade that isn’t as directly noticeable but serves as a good base to everything else.

Also I read this with the voice of the English translation guy for some reason… :lol:

Got to give Giants a huge amount of credit here. FS19 was a massive bump in the road but from what we have learnt about 22… it seems that they have had a good old period of reflection and listened to their fans. The sounds in 19 were abysmal, this new system sounds like they have gone all out to sort it out and it really will transform the experience. No more plowing up hill at idle!!! Gears! The simulation of load and weight!!
Brilliant!

Turned FS19 on yesterday and realized (again) how annoying the monotone engine sound is.

It must drive my wife crazy when I play this game

Hey Kerminator, could you ask if the new Giants Loop Synthesis Tool will be made available to modders via GDN?

Previous games tractors made a clicking noise followed by air pressure release from brake system, this sound seems like it’s been altered for base game tractors in 22, is the sound actually needed as it is highly repetitive and I personally think detracts from the great job on the new sound profiles. Maybe it’s an EU thing? US tractors do not make that sound.

Sounds were perfect in the release version and now they are distorted again. Why on earth did you increase the sound level? Even if you had to why didn't you do it without distorting certain frequencies? Why do you always have to break things that are working perfectly? The way you do things is so frustrating.

Other than congratulations on the improvements to the sounds themselves, 90% of the feedback on sounds were that they were far too quiet.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
