    Good evening fellow players,
    the following is just a thought i had over the past few weeks and I hope for a good conversation. Beamng added really good backfire sounds. I love the fact that these are random generated, so you dont get them after each shift or such. Th thought that I had was that the turbo sound is indeed always the same, which is not something bad considering the fact that it is like this in every game as far as I know. A great addition would be to have random generated turbo blow off valve sounds as well. So it would be like you have the standart sound aswell as longer or shorter versions of it.

    Thank you for reading and Im excited for your comments guys!

    We are actually working on improving the whole turbo sound stuff, that includes bov sounds with a variable length, so the sound can be cut off when you step on the throttle again. Not totally happy with it yet, but the idea seems promising.

    Looking at having the timbre of the BOV change as well, so you get a thinner, quieter and shorter sound or a phatter, louder longer sound depending on what the turbo is up to at the time.

    I've got to say I'm looking forward to these new sound developments. Sounds (pun intended) like we're going to get a more immersive experience.

    I'm not asking a lot, but as there is always some shockwave after lifting of throttle, there could be little something that would be like sensitivity of BOV and with less sensitivity more of chatter would occur.

    For example, this guy's BOV is not very much doing it's job like it should, not enough sensitive at all and we get to hear that chatter, which is indication of dangerous pressure shockwaves to turbine wheel, it breaks things if too strong:


    I guess it would be possible of course to get that by custom BOV sound, but it is not really the same, breaking the turbo by bad tuning part would be missing unless in my state of confusion I'm understanding thing wrong :p

    Ha, that's more Diamondback's area - all we can really do as designers is record or design new sounds. It would of course be fabulous to be generating it all in real time, but that's not such a priority to look at currently.
