Enhanced 2017 Ford 3.5L TwinTurbo V6: Performance Sound & Handling Upgrade

This addon sound aims to replicate the Ecoboost V6, a sound often compared to a lawnmower heard on Sunday mornings at 8 AM. It also includes handling edits tailored to my driving style.

Thank you SKypilaine for the video, much appreciated.

The 3.5L Ecoboost V6 powered the Ford GT LM GTE in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Ford GT transitioned from a V8 engine (used since its GT40 days up until the MK2 in 2006) to a V6 to accommodate the unique design of the 2017 Ford GT. The race edition, the LM GTE, had its power output increased to just over 500bhp and 550N.m of torque. Impressive power for a 1200kg vehicle.

While I haven't verified all performance metrics like 0-60 times, the mod should offer easier handling and more realistic behavior at speeds around 200mph (approximately the average speed of a stock car). [Realtime Handling Editor by ikt]

Changelog:

  • 1.1 - Introduced more aggressive upshift and downshift effects courtesy of SKypilaine. Also, ported some gear sounds from Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005.
  • 1.2 - Reduced the "wobble" effect during gear changes.
  • 1.3 - Implemented new idle sound, granular clocks, artificial turbo and dump valve sounds (since the actual car has nearly silent turbos), revised handling and gear ratios.

The adjusted gear ratios should improve performance. [Custom Gear Ratios by ikt]

I recommend using Hard Rev Limiter for added realism. [Manual Transmission Mod by ikt]

Constructive criticism is welcome. I'm not entirely satisfied with the deceleration sound, so please let me know if you think it should be removed.

Installation:

For Sound:

  1. Add "ttecov6" to your dlcpacks folder in your mods directory.
  2. Add "ttecov6" to your dlclist.xml.
  3. Change the audioNameHash line in your vehicles.meta of the chosen car to "ttecov6".

For Handling:

  1. Copy from "Item" at the top to "\Item" at the bottom and replace it in the same way in the car folder gtrlms>dlc.rpf>common>data>handling.meta

For Gear Ratios:

If you have Custom Gear Ratio by ikt, place the ratio file into the 'Configs' folder in 'CustomGearRatios'.

Permissions:

  1. Do not reupload my file without permission.
  2. Contact me before using this mod for any other projects.
  3. I may consider requests if they are feasible, but I am limited by GTA's capabilities and how much I can edit the audio before it breaks.
