FS25 Radio Enhancements V1.1

This script adds several useful enhancements to the in-game radio system.
1. You can now change the radio volume in vehicles at any time without opening the menu.
Default keys:
– Left Shift + 4 quieter
– Left Shift + 6 louder
The keys can be changed in the menu settings.
2. The current radio volume is shown for a short time in the F1 menu and then disappears again.
3. If you leave a vehicle while a station is playing, you can continue to hear the radio up to a certain distance.
– after leaving the vehicle, the volume is reduced to 50% of the current value (can be changed)
– if you move away from the vehicle, the music becomes quieter and quieter (maximum distance can be changed)
– if you move closer again, the volume gradually increases
– the radio must be switched off manually in the vehicle to disable this function
– the radio state (on/off) is saved individually for each vehicle
– helpers switch the radio on by default – you can hear it when driving past (helper radio can be disabled / changed)
– a RadioEnhancements.xml file is created in the modSettings folder where you can change values
4. Multiplayer
– the script synchronizes the radio status (on/off) of your multiplayer vehicles
– if another player drives past you with the radio switched on, you will hear it too
What I unfortunately cannot change
– unfortunately it is not possible to save specific radio stations for individual vehicles
– all vehicles still use the same global preferred station
– in multiplayer you hear your own client-side selected station in another player’s vehicle, not theirs
Changelog 1.1.0.0
– Radio volume is now saved separately for each vehicle ID (for example: Vehicle A > 100% / Vehicle B > 20%). Some engines are simply louder or quieter
– Radio status and volume are now saved individually for each vehicle in the savegame and loaded when the game starts
– In multiplayer, you can now hear volume changes made by other players, not just on and off

Thank you for sharing the details of the Radio Enhancements script for FS25. It seems like you've added some comprehensive features to enhance the in-game radio system experience. It's great to see the attention to detail in allowing players more control and immersion when it comes to radio functionality within vehicles.

The ability to adjust radio volume on the fly without opening menus, the visibility of current volume in the F1 menu, and the feature that allows continued radio playback after leaving a vehicle with gradual volume adjustments based on distance are all thoughtful additions to gameplay.

Furthermore, the fact that radio status and volume are now saved individually for each vehicle ID in the savegame, as well as the synchronization of radio status in multiplayer sessions, shows a commitment to creating a seamless and immersive experience for players.

It's understandable that certain limitations exist, such as being unable to save specific radio stations for individual vehicles or having a global preferred station for all vehicles. The clarification about hearing your own selected station in another player's vehicle in multiplayer is also a helpful note for players to understand the mechanics of how radio works in that context.

Overall, the additions and improvements made in version 1.1.0.0 of the script demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the radio functionality in FS25 while considering player convenience and immersion. These enhancements are likely to be well-received by players looking for a more immersive in-game radio experience.
