What this mod does
Mack E7 E-TECH Engine Sound adds six-cylinder Mack engines with their own sound. It’s made by Knights Gaming, who also made a sound for the Volvo D13, and it was updated five times in its first month.
Engines by truck
- Mack R Series (modded truck): E7 E-TECH engines from 400 to 460 hp and a tuned 525 hp version.
- Mack Pinnacle: ASET engines from 400 to 460 hp and the 525 hp version.
Requirements
Steam marks two mods by the same author as required: Interior Soundproofing for Modded Trucks and Interior Soundproofing for SCS Trucks and Cars. Since version 1.4, cab soundproofing lives in those mods rather than in this one.
Recent history
- 1.1 (July 29): 427 to 525 hp engines for the Mack R.
- 1.3 (August 18): removes support for modern trucks and adds improvements.
- 1.5 (August 24): support for the Mack Pinnacle.
