DESCRIPTION

It packs a lot of realistic sounds within one mod, making it great value within the 100 mod limit in Convoy multiplayer.

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

* ETS2 1.49.0 + ATS 1.49.0. No errors in game log. Must have high priority in Mod Manager.
* Does not replace individual player truck sounds, so this mod can be used with an unlimited amount of truck sound mods of your choice.
* Compatible with all maps and all trucks, including truck mods.
* Supported in single-player and multiplayer Convoy mode, and is marked as an optional mod in Convoy. 
* If hosting a Convoy dedicated server with this mod, it is recommended to turn on "mods_optioning" to prevent mod version restrictions.
