    I agree, it's a clacky diesel. I think all of the diesels in BeamNG have subpar idling sounds that don't feel authentic which is why the 7.1 is quite loud in comparison. I'm not around a real engine like this to directly compare but I've always been fine with how it sounded

    Im speaking about the volume to be concrete.
    Most of the modded engines are way louder than the vanilla ones and they blast your hearing to nirvana. especially the 7.1 Diesel

    I'm aware, the audio values contain the main gain of the sounds. You said most of the engines are loud which didn't make sense as most of the engines are in identical volume to basegame engines. If you mean the 7.1 specifically, then yes, it is supposed to be loud but I can reevaluate it for the next update

    Just turn down your computer volume, is it really that hard?

    Better yet, just go here and turn down the "Power Unit" volume scale.

    Bro.. I literally said its annoying as hell to do it all the fucking time because of inbalanced modded engines.
    Is it so hard to adjust and test these volumes before releasing mods? other authors do it too and it works perfectly.
    Just read what i wrote before write stuff like that.
    --- Post updated ---
    Yeah i thought especially of the 8.5 V10 and the 7.1 Diesel. In my opinion they need to be adjusted a little but thats about it. No big problem but as stated i can be really annoying to adjust engine audios all the time while playing just because some mod engines aren´t really volume balanced.
    I just wanted to bring that up to you to decide whenever you want to change it or think it should stay that way. At the end of the day its #YourModYourChoice.

    Engines can be loud in real life, and may very well blow out your eardrums.
    For the age and size of the engine, this is realistic.
    Even if it is loud, that's just how it was programmed to be.

    Its a game, guido. Bad example and its too much in my mind.
    Why im even discussing it to you, you´re not even the mod author.

    from what ive heard emissions and whatnot are way more lenient on heavy duty vehicles. from what ive heard for instance in heavy duty chevy k series trucks engines didnt have as much emissions equipment.

    The sound is from a tractor. It is what it is. If you want to modify it you can. One of these days I'll get around to working on recording sounds from my truck and handing those off to Ren to work on them. For now, I'm busy with my life and will not be doing that anytime in the next few months.

    Yeah sure no problem tweaking it by myself. The sound is nice its not the problem. All i said was maybe it can get tweaked a bit by default so its more in line with vanilla engine sound so i dont have to tweak around all the time when mixing vanilla vehicles with moddes ones in my gametime. The sound as it is is just fine and dandy.

    Yeah thats all i wanted to bring up. It sounds damn well good. I just thought it was a bit too loud compared to vanilla engines even compared to louder ones like the T-Series or the DT40L

    Especially back in the 90's where nobody really gave a shit. The 7.1 in my lore is introduced in 1985 with little modifications until 2001 where it is to be replaced by a newer engine.

    Won't get into the technicals, however if everything goes right it will have sounds from a DT466 which is also an accurately newer engine that fits into my time span. More addon content sounds are hopefully also on the way such as a 3208, Cummins 6.7 and an LB7 Duramax 6.6 provided by my friends.
    I never had anyone complain or have any issues about the engine audio volume which is why I'm partially skeptical. Do you not have an option to turn down the sound of your entire PC speakers/headset or even the game from the Windows volume mixer? Regardless, like mentioned, I will be reevaluating the audio values of the engine

    i already tried many sound combos. It definitely is the sound of the 7.1 Diesel in particular.
    Besides, some have even agreed with me on it being too loud compared to other engines or even vanilla ones so i dont think what else i can say to solidify the matter. The sound is nice: Its just a little bit too loud compared to the rest. no more, no less.

    Will there be an update soon? Looking forward to future updates and content. Also, I see there is a work in progress tow upfit for it, very excited about it. Will it be functional? There are no good tow truck mods currently. I was also wondering if there will be a dump body upfit. Great work, thank you!
