Re: [REL] Sound Fixes Pack

Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year! v24.00 is a special and more widely distributed release of the mod. It includes several polishes/maintenance of existing content and a thunder sound rework.
This new golden age will be exciting. I've got more sound features that I want to accomplish this year. Stay tuned for that!
I also want to try my hand at producing my own up-to-date video showcase of the Sound Fixes Pack. Video producing is a different skill set entirely which I'm learning about.
I'm still deciding on whether to use cinematic camera tools that SCS Software uses, or the fly camera that I'm used to. When the video is ready I'll make a new post.
Without further ado, here is the mod update!
Pack updated to v24.00 with the following changes:
4 new thunder sound effects added to the thunder sound array in addition to the default thunder sounds.
Reworked mixing of the thunder sounds:
- Implemented variable directionality so that the thunder sound does not always feel fully two-dimensional in the sound output.
- Implemented variable delay interval of the thunder sound for after the lightning flash, to convey the proximity of the storm.
- Implemented variable muffling to thunder sounds for varying intensity of the sound.
- Implemented subtle perceived thunder sound volume difference during nighttime.
Reworked the EMD SD40-2 locomotive engine sound. [ATS edition]
Slight increase in engine sound volume for some train locomotive prime movers. [ATS edition]
Minor sound adjustments to some AI traffic truck sounds. [ATS edition]
Compatibility patch for the upcoming version of Winter sounds. [ATS edition]
Default log trailers in AI traffic now have nuanced trailer sounds when in motion.
Included idle sound for the default steam train sound set, in case of the steam train existing in the regular map.
Removed 1 sound effect from the default air brake rework sound array.
Reverted changes to the Christmas Winterland Event soundtrack back to default for the remainder of the event.
Ended 50% off Christmas sale for Sound Fixes Pack standalone air horns in the game's Service Shops.
Revamped mod description and mod icon.
