For others that dont call it a "chatbox", they might get confused when doing this. [I know what T does, im not stupid, but i dont call it a chatbox]
Its best to simply put:
1. Extract sounds to x:/Lfs/Data/Eng
2. While on the track in LFS, hit T.
3. With the type command open, type /edit_eng
4. Hit enter
5. Hit Shift + A
6. Go to load in the top corner, and pick a sound.
7. Enjoy the new sound.
See now if the first post has said what i said above, i wouldnt have needed to ask such a dumb question.
Boosted, maybe you can modify first post to say the steps? Just a thought.
I'm really pleased the devs thought of giving us a little tweaking ability in the form of sounds. I feel it's enhanced lfs a little, not but much, just a little.
I feel it has enhanced LFS quite immensely actually. After the new sound engine was released I wasn't very impressed with the new sounds but I could see the potential of the new engine. Now that I have used some of the custom sounds people have come up with I'm definitely a firm believer in the new engine. The sounds I use now are at least 100 times better than the default ones pre-V. So it has improved big time. Makes me excited about future development and enhancements
About the X: drive now, It's not an X drive.
Actually X means the drive where the LFS.exe resides eg for my installment x=C:\ so the full path is C:\LFS\DATA\ENGINE
For you it might be C:\Program Files\LFS\DATA\ENGINE.
BWAHAHAHA, your a noob you know that? in boosted's first post, i clearly understood what he meant, your forgeting he's german, so he may know alot of the english language but i doubt he knows every single english word (no offence boosted ) so, velocity, take a chill pill or STFU
frenchy
btw, boosted, great thread you got here mate, thx.
i didnt and wont change my first post, cuz so far everybody could understand it.
i found it kinda funny that an american comes and tells me he doesnt understand it...
my english is far away from beeing perfect but i made it pretty clear.
and now guys, post some new engine sounds
Yes, the author was me - Phil your excellent overdriving of the LFS sound system is what inspired me to TURN IT UP!
I've had no feedback on this yet but I believe it sounds really good (I just came back and checked, and I still love it but then again I'm on my fifth beer !)
I wanted a sample for the engine 'bang' that was of the right state of tune, but distinct from the other bangs (as an F1 sample would have overlapping 'bangs'). I found a Ducati MotoGP sample and used this as it is a V4 and fires less often.
I also wanted more of a 'roar' for the intake so I found a clip on YouTube of a Eurofighter taking off and adapted that. I know its a bad loop.
I love the way the clipping causes 'crackling' and 'popping' particularly when TC is activated.
I really believe in these samples, so if anyone more talented than me can use them to better effect, that would be great.
Here's hoping for an awesome LFS system in the end
