I think i should the sound has to be like this, with 2 recordings and some configuration, but I have a poor knowledge about omsi soundsĪ video showing the pente on action.Preserved former British Coachways Plaxton Supreme IV bodied Volvo B58 coach in January 2011 On automatic ones, only works when the driver depress the pedal, and the gear was running at high rpm.Īnyway, the pente can be heard in neutral, accelerating and desacellerating. ![]() On manual buses the pente works on the gear changes, when the clutch its pressed over 1600 rpm, increasing the sound parallel to the engine rpm. The pente is a modification on the turbo that makes the engine do a special sound when the rpm gets down. I want to put into Omsi the sound of the "Pente na Turbina" (Comb on the turbo).
