Which car is such?

For me I think many are quite well balanced, but there is always room for improvement as perfect is pretty impossible to make.

Things I think being different from IRL currently are:
Wind / road noise drowns engine at steady 80kph IRL, engine braking at higher rpm surely does make noise, but also throttle pedal position should affect engine braking volume IRL, then scale which engine gets louder at high rpm is a lot, while in game it is quite mild change from 0 throttle to full throttle or from idle to full scream.

Wind noise alone is very loud at higher speeds, especially with older vehicles at 150kph wind noise can be so much that you can hear just a little of engine.

Also exhaust can be softer at idle and raspier at higher rpm and load, in game idle can be quite strong with some vehicles.

Main thing what I miss though is how thorttle position is not affecting much of volume, which makes for example throttle blip with Sunburst to sound much less than what one excepts. As throttle butterflies close they kill lot of sound, so when blipping there is quick increase of sound volume and tone too which is what I think could be what you are also missing.

 

Verified game files, this happens when spawning the eSBR variants.

 

Might just be me but I find when down shifting the sound of the engine isn't loud enough.... well at 6,000 rpm and you can't hear if the engine is even on? The sound is way two quite when off the gas and it's not just this car either.

 

At this port area, in the main city next to this, you can see grid area.

 

Have you cleared cache?

 

I don't know how much it should be heard, but here is some race car which is bit newer era for comparison:

 

Sorry I somehow pasted about the engine sound in the one trying to help IAchievedBacon, look at my post on page13 I did a video.

 

I did try your video and then also hillclimb pessima and I can hear engine sound, gear whine is there too that can make it harder to pick up engine sound, also as I'm using headset that can affect so that with speakers it is harder to hear, especially if using lower volumes.

Hillclimb Pessima is quite loud car so that if volume is adjusted to Pessima to feel not too loud, it can be harder to hear engine when engine braking.

Also it is kinda of humm instead of roar at engine braking, not sure if it would need to be more coarse as it is race car without sound proofing and such.

If I adjust this video volume to similar I use in BeamNG, there certainly is more engine sound and everything is kind more brutal sounding:


So race versions and street versions might need different tuning in that aspect for sure.

 

I can't find eSBR after updating. I am already checked game files and reinstalled the game, this didn't help.

 

Have you checked in the SBR4 menu itself? Should be near or at the bottom of it, has a bright-green colour

 

Cleared cache and verified integrity... same result.

 

If it hasn't been mentioned yet the eSBR goes as fast in reverse as forward and its amazing

 

The only one that I can think of that would affect the SBR4 that I have installed would be that Fiction Police pack...

I don't think it's the Realistic Headlights mod.

EDIT: Disabled that mod and still no change.

 

Disabled all mods and it looks normal now.

 

Wtf? It only lasted for 10 seconds tho.

 

Okay.
