    Hello,

    I recently made a mod which gave the bolide a PRV engine. But the engine sounds are very quiet. I know sound options are under soundConfig but I don't know what any of the options do besides sampleName.

    Here is an example of what to change to make the engine louder:

    Change this line from this:
    Code:
            "mainGain": -18,
    To this:
    Code:
            "mainGain": -12,
    Or as high as you want to.

    The mainGain controls the sound volume over the whole rev range. Do notice it is negative by default.

    Thanks. But the car is now emitting thick black smoke, it looks like it's rolling coal! Is there anything to explain this?

    That shouldn't have anything to do with the sounds. Check these parts of the engine jbeam:
    Code:
    "burnEfficiency":[
                [0, 0.10],
                [0.05, 0.24],
                [0.4, 0.39],
                [0.7, 0.45],
                [1, 0.32],
            ],
    Code:
            //exhaust
            "particulates":0.03
    Compare them to the original jbeam you based the engine on.
