ATS mods / American Truck Simulator mods

CHANGELOG 21.29
===============

Slightly improved sound quality of air brake sounds.
Updated play probabilities for each air brake sound.
Eliminated some caveats such as the need to restart the game for reefer trailer sounds (experimental feature for modders).

For modders: reefer.soundref file is now deprecated and will be deleted on release of Sound Fixes Pack v21.31.
reefer_up.soundref and reefer_down.soundref will be used instead for the respective trailer brace sound event.

DESCRIPTION
===========

– Pack provides essential improvements to common sounds in the game for increased immersion.
– For over 5 years, the Sound Fixes Pack continues to strive for making the game’s sounds feel like real life.
– The mod receives regular updates to cover more sounds to add immersion. Thus the Steam Workshop version is highly recommended for quicker updates.

COMPATIBILITY
=============

* ETS2 1.40.3 + ATS 1.40.1. No errors in game log. Must have high priority in Mod Manager.
* Compatible with all maps and all trucks, including truck mods.
* Does not replace individual truck sounds, so this mod can be used with an unlimited amount of truck sound mods of your choice.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
====================

Requires higher priority in Mod Manager than:
– any map mods (e.g. ProMods, RusMap, etc.)
– any AI traffic mods (e.g. Jazzycat’s traffic packs)
– any rain sound mods (unless proven to be compatible)

FEATURE LIST
============

The mod features dynamic and realistic sounds, covering the following:

– Fuel / gas station sounds
– Variable rain and thunder sounds
– And more!

WHAT THE MOD DOES:

Mod activates reefer trailer sounds from the Sound Fixes Pack for the vanilla game trailers in American Truck Simulator.
NOTE that trailer sounds like this are not a standard feature in the game, hence this addon will come with caveats.

The reefer engine will sound the loudest when you are close to the trailer and may play after coupling the trailer.
You can hear the hum of it inside the truck but you can open the windows to hear it in greater clarity.

The volume of the sound is determined by the trailer noise slider in the Audio settings.

COMPATIBILITY:

Tested only for 1.40 game version and works with reefer trailers used in the Freight Market.
Requires Sound Fixes Pack (minimum v21.29) enabled for this to work.
Not guaranteed to work with mods replacing vanilla SCS trailers.

If you want to make these sounds work with a different trailer mod, check out the modding guide here:

CAVEATS:

1. The major caveat is that the sound doesn’t follow the trailer, so once you start driving with the trailer, you will notice the sound fading away.
However, if you stay in the spot where you hooked up the trailer, you can listen to the reefer sound for as long as you want.

2. The shutdown of the reefer sound is abrupt. The sound event stops shortly after decoupling.
