Realistic Vehicle Sound Distance

Are you tired of machinery engine sounds disappearing after only a short distance? This mod dramatically increases the distance at which vehicle engines can be heard, enhancing the realism of farm activities. It's perfect for realism enthusiasts, large maps, and multiplayer farms where you want to hear machines working across the farm.

Realistic Vehicle Sound Distance improves the immersion of the game by enhancing how far vehicle engines can be heard in the world. Engines from tractors, trucks, harvesters, and other farm machinery will now be audible from much farther away, creating a more immersive and realistic farming environment. You will now be able to hear tractors working in nearby fields, machines approaching from a distance, and farm activity across your land just like in real life.
