Way Station Pass Device is Deffening!

[Banteel]

The first time the Way Station Pass Device went off I almost jumped out of my chair because of how loud it was. Seems the Device has not had the sound lowered, and at high volume setting it will actually hurt your ears.

The second time the Way Station Pass Device went off, I was between the median and a truck. You guessed it, I jumped again and smashed into the median pretty hard.

Please do something to lower the Way Station Pass Device's sound levels. Perhaps also give it some muffling so it sounds like it's actually inside the vehicle.

I'm a bit surprised that you have done absolutely no sound editing passes for the Way Station Device at all.

Some sort of sound mixer would sure be nice. Having only a "Master" and "Efects" adjustment is weak.

The Weigh Station" thing is just another stupid gimmick that only lets you pass half the time. SCS wont fix the major isues but they sure like adding garbage.

I didn't find the noise all that loud. And I think it's a good thing that it is a significantly different sound than the normal soft ding from the other notices you get. Especially when I have music playing; doesn't get washed out.

And the added device on the windshield wasn't to allow for skipping the weigh stations; that function was already in the game. It was mearly to add a visual and audible cue for those who don't run with the Trip Advisor window showing on their screen.

How do you think real drivers feel when the real thing goes off.

I dont think the pre-pass is that loud. Is there anyway to take out the little tune when you are running late, besides the obvious of just dont be late? Thanks for any help.

I don't think he was talking about sound effects volume, I think he was talking out the pre-pass having it's own sound level option

I wish I could mute the pre-pass...I still jump everytime it goes off.

Yeah it is annoying, glad i don't use headphones much.
And where did the yawning go? Was kinda amusing, and not as irritating as the beeping

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason absolutely NOTHING will get done with this issue. Management doesn't think it's a problem, so it must not be a problem. Problem solved... bury your head in the sand, and everything goes away. Simple as that.

Beg pardon? I'm not affiliated with SCS in any way other than as a volunteer Moderator of this forum. Why should that invalidate my opinion of this new game feature?

[Chris]

All depends on ones perception of loud.. With a isx or Paccar engine that runs quiter it may seem loud... Stick a N14 or a Cat under the hood.. Or 2 stroke detroit and it would not sound as loud...It dont bother me at all

Ryu, you have to know that our voices are not equal... that your voice on a matter is probably worth ten times my own. So when you toss in your opinion, THAT is what SCS hears.

Like Banteel, that sound had me jumping out of my seat as well (I use headphones). In fact, the only reason I am not still jumping each time I hear that noise is because I now know where the weigh stations are located.

As for the noise itself, it's unrealistic and obtrusive, not to mention counter-productive - because each time I hear that noise, I swear to myself that I will never again stop at a weigh station.

Keep them Dunlops rolling!!

Harley, I used to get the running late tune quite often myself, but took some steps to help myself out. First, as soon as I hooked up to the load, I took note of the delivery date & time. Then I would adjust the route to my liking. Once I adjusted the route, the delivery date & time would change in the GPS module, but the ORIGINAL date & time was still the REQUIRED date & time. So, keeping that in mind, I would start off on my trip. Once on the road, I would watch the ETA date & time as it decreased, needing it to drop below the ORIGINAL date & time. The displayed delivery date & time will come down by just doing the posted speed limit, but if you need to expedite that decrease, try bumping your speed up a few MPH/KPH (as long as you have the police option disabled). Hope that helps!

Ryu Does a good job as a mod But their is failed logic in what you said .SCS dont read this forum They pay attention to what goes on their own forum .http://forum.scssoft.com/viewforum.php?f=178 ..This forum belongs to Steam so to speak Auto generated from the game
