The sound of the game is so important. Naturally the visuals strike you first and then you listen instinctually. How anyone can drive with no sound or just some jam going is surprising to me. FM nearly destroyed the game a few updates back by actually reducing sound quality! They realized their mistake and have been tweaking it since thankfully.

Back to you’re question,the sound of the Merc reminds me of the Ford GT350R and other US V8’s,though these aren’t turboed.

WHAT. FM reduced sound quality? Is that after the update several months back where they were touting how they made sound quality “so much better?” I took a break after that and did realize some cars don’t sound as good now.

Yes sir,they really wrecked the sound a few updates back. The squeal from tires was changed too loud,the damage sounds from the cars was made louder and worst of all they muted down all the cool engine and drivetrain sounds!

Meanwhile...back at the forum,there was quite a discussion pro or con concerning this “updated sound”.

FM was obviously listening,as the tire squeal and damage sounds are fixed. The fuzzy/muted engine and drivetrain nuanced sounds we so enjoy have been improved too.

There’s not been much said about these changes,but that’s another topic altogether.
