If you are new to ATS or American Truck Simulator, you might also be new to mods. What are mods? Mods are modification files which enhance the base or core game application (in this case American Truck Simulator). I recently wrote a blog post on exactly how to install mods in American Truck Simulator.
In the “How to Install Mods in American Truck Simulator” blog post I actually mentioned the exact mod I’m featuring here today. Keep in mind that ATS is just over one week old, but of all the mods I’ve found available for ATS, this one is a must have.
What is the Featured Mod?
This mod is the Paccar Sound Mod for the default Kenworth 680 and Peterbilt 579 trucks which are featured in the ATS game. While these trucks look amazing, the sound is rather weak sauce. Oh…and the horn…beep beep! Ugh…
What does this mod do?
Basically it changes the engine sound on both the Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks available in the game to a more real life sounding diesel engine. It is night and day difference. I highly recommend this mod!
What else does this mod do?
It turns the little “beep beep” sounding horn which is default in the Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks into a very nice low air horn. Trust me, you won’t be embarrassed to “lay on the horn” now.
How can I get this mod?
The Paccar Sound Mod for the Kenworth 680 and Peterbilt 579 trucks is available here.
How do I install this mod?
Please see my blog post “How to Install Mods in American Truck Simulator” for complete instructions.
Again, if you only install one mod…this is the one you want to install.
Until next time…
Happy Trucking!!!
