Curiosity about save edited trucks

[stickmaster62]

I was driving earlier with my DAF that I put a Volvo engine into and I started to wonder if other players driving by could hear the Volvo engine or if it sounds like a normal DAF to them. So my question is can you hear the engine that someone put into their truck through save editing (like my DAF having a Volvo engine), or does the truck in question sound like normal as if it had the engine it's suppose to have (like my DAF having a DAF engine)?

iirc the players around you will hear the save edited engine, not the normal one that comes in the truck default. So if you have a Volvo engine in a DAF truck for example, the players around you will hear the Volvo engine.

 

EDIT: After further investigation from myself using my own truck, its turns out it was the sounds files that change things, the engine will sound will stay default =P

^ Cool, many thanks kind sir!

It doesn't matter which engine you have. It matters, which sounds your truck has. You can change the internal sound and the external sound by save editing. The player will hear the external sound you've chosen. 

 

Hence I don't agree with @Aestrial.

The reason I've said that @DrEGZo is because whenever I've heard a 'hybrid' truck / truck with save edited engine in-game, my own included, you hear the engine you have put in it. I'm sure you can change it via editing the internal and external sounds as well as you said, but its the same with the engine you put in it, you hear that sound of that specific engine, not the default one of the truck. 

 

I am actually going to jump in-game and test this one out to double check.

They will hear same sound like you

The game loads the sound files that are in the save folder, so if you manually save edit just the engine perf file itself then the game will still load the default sounds, if you change the sound file then it will be like above but with the sounds.

 

Engine performance and sound files are in different file directories within the base.scs so they will not affect each other if one is changed if that clears things up a bit more

 

its like me saying that people will still see a company trailer even if I've save edited it to be a plain one.

I did a little deeper investigation myself and I can confirm that what @Hammy Potter and @DrEGZo said is true. Thanks everybody for your input, this was very educational indeed!
