There have been improvements in the past, it sounds much better imo than the patch U and V versions. The BF1 is just the hardest car to get right I guess because of the very distinctive sound of F1 cars. I think more additions to the sound engine are needed to get it better.
You like the old sounds better, I like the new sounds better. So it is a matter of personal preference as well. Anyway, there´s an editor you can use, that´s the beauty of it.

The additions made in the past e.g. the exhaust system made the sound much softer which is good for the 4 cyl engines. But for the right flat 6 sound there have to be made some changes on the engine sound itself... btw: a 5 cyl engine sounds perfect in LFS - sadly we don't have any 5 cyl cars in LFS...
Sorry that I'm so scientific about the sound, but as I want to have a very realistic game, I have to.

It has nothing to do with personal preferences! LFS tries to be a realistic simulation - and the sound of the flat six engine as well as the sound of the BF1 is far from reality! I wouldn't complain if there would have been improvements in the past ...

just wonder why scawen writes nothing about the sound

Some of the engines may sound better, but the BMW F1 sounds worse than before. Did I miss something?

Really forgot that ^^ The F1 sound is a catastrophy - it was best when the car was released...

Tried to change the engine sound over night and the tools given in LFS are fairly rubbish. The problem isn't the "exhaust system" you can work on - it is simply the noise going into that system...

Jan :-)

Uh didn't know i could already edit the sound - i'll work on it now...

New Patch, new sound - so far, so good. An the 4 cylinder engines really sound a lot better than they used to BUT how is it possible that you kept on ruining the flat 6 sound since S1. Before we had S2 and the FZ50 I used to drive a porsche flat 6 (thanks to LFS Tweak) - and the sound really was quite nice. But with S2 the flat 6 sound kept getting worse and worse - especially the FZR has an unbearable sound.
I really love LFS but I'm starting to be annoyed by those sound improvement "attempts" - it is definitely possible to get the right sound... Even though I'm quite busy right now I really would like to help you improve the engine sound - just give me the tools...

Jan :-)

PS: Another two issues: the engines are reving to high and you should finally gove a sensible rev limit...
