I worked my way through the truck file and soundscript docs. Is it true that I can't add custom sounds played via button push, without replacing the horn? My goal is to mod a firetruck such that it has the air horn AND a Federal Q (mechanical) siren, AND an electronic siren. All of them can...

Yes, and I like it. Yes, it takes some text editing on the input map. But, once set up, it's much (MUCH) nicer to drive. Even sort of works for flying (I just use the shifter to control the elevators). I don't pay much attention to the force feedback... I've only had one game I liked where...

Well, the last project supervisor says they used the SteamVR driver (free to use), iRacing, and hand motion tracking was via LEAP motion sensor. Looks like iRacing has VR inbuilt (many seem to be using it anyway, so there's a well-worn path). Added RoR to Steam as a "non Steam game," worked...

Answering my own question... seems there's an opensource project called Vireio (or paid version VorpX) that are "3D VR drivers" that allow basically what I want. https://github.com/cybereality/Perception for the Vireio part. Looks a bit rough/lonely though. So, not really impossible...

So... it's Friday, one of those entirely non-productive Fridays at work... at a college with a new program to teach game development... and they're starting in on the VR headsets. So, I'm thinking, can I use these VR headsets on something more fun, something like driving a firetruck around...

Alrighty then... lots of fun. To save the next person some aggravation, here's what I ended up doing: Take the time to properly understand the answer given... for a start. Then: Copy the truck, replace the GIUD with something generated, rename the truck file as well. Modify the .truck file...

So... copy the original, generate a new GUID, replace the wav file, and/or optionally modify the truck definition with sections to allow for multiple sirens... am I understanding this right? David...

In a .skin file, I can use replaceTexture to replace one png with another. What do I use to replace one wav file with another? I can't find any reference to using a skin to replace a sound. I know I can just replace a wav file with another, but I'm trying to do it right... as a proper skin...
