Tire Sound - Global Script

This global script adds a tire sound to all tractors, provided that their maximum speed is at least 30 kph. The sound is only heard when the tractor is driving at a brisk pace on the road – on fields or dirt tracks, it stays silent. Depending on the tire type, the sound varies: a distinction is made between standard tractor mud tires, narrow row-crop tires, crawler tracks and Nokian tires.

Some tractors from the base game already feature their own tire sound. For these, the script is disabled by default. You can enable the sound and adjust the volume (from 40 % to 300 %) when purchasing the tractor in the shop. Tractors that have already been bought need to be taken to the workshop to activate the sound afterwards. The recommended volume is around 100 % to 125 % for tractors with the original Giants sound, and often higher for mod tractors.

The default configuration can be changed in the "modDesc.xml" using "defaultVolumeConfigPercent". If that range is not enough, the volume can additionally be adjusted in the "tireSound.xml" (located in the "sounds" folder) via the "volumeScale" value. Normally, however, no changes in the XML files are necessary.
