Sound generation and noise
- Support of all ElMod sample sets for extra prototypical sound reproduction
- Integrated sound unit plays several different sounds simultaneously
- Sound types drive
- Multiple starter sounds with distinction between cold and warm start
- Multiple shutdown and start-up sounds, engine sounds for driving with simulated gear changes and distinction between full load,
part load, engine brake and mechanical brake
- Turbocharger whistling
- No steps between engine sounds
- Speed-dependent driving sounds such as chain or chassis squeal
- Optional ambient and environmental noises
- Speed-dependent turret rotation noise with optional distinction between drive without and with motor assistance
- Sound for elevation of the main gun
- Fire from main gun optionally as single shot or continuous fire (e.g. flak)
- Variable sounds for bullet impact with simulation of impact at different distances
- Shooting noise for MG
- Shooting noise for auxiliary MG
- Up to 24 individual sounds that can be triggered via the radio system, such as horn, radio announcements, etc.
- Plain text announcement when battery voltage is too low/too high
- Sounds for IR combat mode
- Configurable volume level of a noise type (e.g. raising the volume of the MG and lowering the volume of the engine) and configuration
of multiple sound parameters
- Adjustment of the volume via an included rotary potentiometer
- Adjustment of the volume via a rotary knob on the remote control
- All included sample sets are stored on a PC/notebook-readable microSD card. They may be changed at runtime via the ElMod app
- Integrated 10 W digital audio amplifier for connecting an 8 ohm speaker
