released Remove air friction and/or asphalt roll sounds

[Carda]

I'm a manual shifter as probably most of you. The sound of my engine is important to listen to for shifting on the right moment. I got really sick of the air friction and asphalt roll volume when driving (sometimes even louder then the sound of my engine :?) and removed em both. You can also remove just one of em if you like the other one to stay. (remove winds only for example)

 

I used TDU Bnk Editor 1.0 - By Jeffrey (thx Jeffrey for this application) to replace files within a BNK file.

DJEY Magic Map is recommended because we ARE changing a .BNK file.

 

1) Make a copy of your //Test Drive/Euro/Bnk/Sound/Vehicules/common.bnk

2) Start TDU Bnk Editor and with it, open //Test Drive/Euro/Bnk/Sound/Vehicules/common.bnk

 

3) These 4 files are the ones that we're going to replace. Or just 2 if you like the other 2 to stay

 

4) Replace them with the .WAV files found in my zip (each .wav is 0 kb)

 

5) Great work here by Jeffrey, because otherwise it wouldn't work

 

6) Don't forget to press this button when you're finished, like I always do.

 

Here are the goods:

Note:

Instead of replacing the files with a .wav of the same length that's silent, I created 0kb .wav files with notepad. It will result that TDU won't play 'm at all because they aren't valid sound files. That results in more free sound channels for the soundcard and a bit extra CPU performance and most important, gives a pure undistorted engine sound.

 

My first 0kb mod ever by the way :rolleyes:

AWESOME idea!

thumbs up for you =DDD

[RedCarDriver]

Great work :D

 

Only thing is, though, wouldn't it be easier to just open up the Audio options and turn everything but "Engine" down? >_> This was, for me, enough to make the engine audible above the air friction noise.

Or, have you tried that and it wasn't enough?

The asphalt roll, wind friction and engine sound for me aren't separately volume settable. I do not have an 'Engine' slider and have to use the 'vehicle' slider to change the volume of all 3 sounds at once.

 

The slider 'SFX' doesnt change the volume of the asphalt roll and wind friction sounds either btw. Its really combined with the engine volume in the 'vehicle' slider

thx dude

I and other people get in the orginal game some sound stuttering. I guess you guys are familar with that common bug.

 

I researched and found out that the air friction sound is what creates this sound stuttering.... now I wonder if your trick here will fix the sound stuttering as well ?

 

I gonna try out but it might be possible to get ride of that stupid sound stuttering on high speed that way.

 

So for that thansk to find out this thing it might be more helpful as you think it is :3

Hi... Sorry about the bump, but I wanted to know if this solves the sound stuttering problem, and if somebody could upload this again, as the file link is offline.

 

Thanks!

I think someone told me it does, yes :)

[diegorborges]

Thanks for the answer bimmer...

 

But, anybody still has it? For giving me a new download link as the one on the first post doesnt work?

 

And BTW, bimmerfan here too... I could eat an Audi for fun too. lol :P

[wagnerpsc]

just creat a text file,rename it to the name of the file you want and replace on common.bnk,done that here and works like a charm :D

[diegorborges]

Oh, thanks for the hint wagner... I'l try :D
