The Sounds page controls MAIRA’s sound effects system (short/looping WAV effects that MAIRA plays based on simulator state and MAIRA’s internal steering effects).
Custom sound files
MAIRA loads WAVs from your documents folder:
Documents\MAIRA Refactored\Sounds\Effects\<sound key>.wav
It also supports user overrides:
Documents\MAIRA Refactored\Sounds\Effects\<sound key>_custom.wav
If a _custom.wav exists, MAIRA will use it instead of the default for that sound key. MAIRA can also load custom sounds while the app is running if you just drop them into that folder.
Sound keys you can override:
- click
- abs_engaged
- wheel_lock
- wheel_spin
- understeer
- oversteer
- seat_of_pants
Master
Master switch and global volume multiplier for the whole Sounds system.
If this is off, none of the sound effects will play (even if individual effects are enabled).
Default: ON, 75% volume
Click
This is a short “UI feedback” click sound that MAIRA plays when certain mapped actions fire.
Default: ON, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio
ABS EnGAGED
Plays a looping sound while ABS is active. If fade is enabled, the effect volume scales with brake pedal position.
Default: OFF, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio
Wheel Lock
Plays a looping sound when MAIRA detects braking lockup based on RPM vs wheel-speed relationship. If fade is enabled, the effect volume scales with brake pedal position.
Default: OFF, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio, 85% sensitivity, Fade ON
Wheel Spin
Plays a looping sound when MAIRA detects wheelspin based on RPM vs wheel-speed relationship. If fade is enabled, the effect volume scales with throttle pedal position.
Default: OFF, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio, 85% sensitivity, Fade ON
Understeer
Plays a looping sound based on MAIRA’s understeer effect magnitude.
Default: OFF, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio
Oversteer
Same concept as understeer, but for oversteer.
Default: OFF, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio
Seat-of-Pants
Plays a looping sound based on MAIRA’s seat-of-pants effect magnitude.
Default: OFF, 75% volume, 100% frequency ratio
