    Personally I would like to see either a Scania DSC 11-24 (or the 71 version) or a Volvo DH10A

    Hey there! Happy new year!
    I struck a gold mine a few weeks ago. I was able to find high quality engine samples for the Scania DSC09 and DSC11 engines, from an L94IB. There's only one thing I am missing, and that is the torque curves for the two engines. Until I can find torque curves, there won't be any engine :(
    However, I think, if it's the same as what I think, I did find a basic torque curve from a Scania L94 mod for OMSI. Perhaps I can take those values and put them into BeamNG, but that's included turbo boost.

    As for the DH10A, I might be able to find something. Considering it's an engine still in production, finding a torque curve shouldn't be too hard. The hard thing is finding a B10BLE to sample the engine from that's high quality samples.

    If you knew anything, that would be a great help!

    Hey everyone! I am here to post a preview of the OM447 engine. In its current state, it is basically finished. Let me know how it sounds!


    I have tuned the sounds from an O405 mk2 with a Custom 228 body, so it may sound a bit different to, for example, the O405 with the original body from Mercedes

    Thank you. I just finished the M447hLAG CNG engine, so I'll post a preview of that, and then upload the mod!

    New Release
    I am glad to annouce that the Mercedes OM447 engine family is now ready to be released.

    It will be on the BeamNG repository soon for free, but you can get early access and download it instantly for a small fee.
    Thats one engine off of the list!

    New Engines
    I am also going to try to work on 2 new engines, the Volvo DH10A, and the Scania DSC11. DH10A being used in the Volvo B10BLE, and the DSC11 being used in the Scania L113. I might also try to create a Scania DSC9 (not to be confused with the already existing DC9) that was used in the Scania L94IB

    Thanks for reading, and enjoy the new engine!

    Hello everyone!
    I have some news, good and bad.

    I have semi-finished a new engine, the Cummins ISLe. Sounds nice and realistic to what I have heard, but, the new 0.35 update for BeamNG has delayed it. Basically, I would use the engine audio editor to find the right values for the eqs and levels etc, but now the world editor doesnt open, so I cant access the audio editor.

    I have tried using safe mode in the world editor, and it still doesnt work. I suppose it's the same reason as why when I load into any map, the UI just stays on the main menu, doesnt even show any level loading, and I have to F5 to refresh UI. Engine sounds also dont work until I reload lua with CTRL+L.

    So until I, or BeamNG devs, fix the issues with 0.35, production on any new engines will be temporarily halted, as I can't actually create them.

    Thank you all for your patience

    Just a quick sound check for the Cummins ISLe 8.9l These are going to be the final sounds to stay. The clicking issue is an issue with my samples and will be fixed. As I wanted to get these sounds working ASAP, because there was some layering involved, I never created a fade at the end and start to save time, so the zero crossing points dont line up

    If anyone's seeing this, what would you rather:

    Currently the OM936 engine uses some samples from the OM906. I have got some real life samples from the OM936, and I want to know if I should re-do the sounds for the OM936, and make a new OM906 engine, with the current sounds?

    Thanks!

    Hey everyone! I have finished the Cummins ISLe5 engine, and it is now ready to be released! Here is my demonstration video, where you can listen to the sounds in actual good quality

    Early Access is available by my patreon, but it will be uploaded onto the BeamNG repository soon!
