Notes:
* There are a lot of minor modifications and balancing to other sounds such as ambiance, crowd, etc. that are too many to list.
* This Mod Replicates Sounds Realistically based on Your Position/POV (point-of-view).
* Overall volume Will sound Louder than original. So adjust your Pc volume desirably.
* This Mod is Highly Recommended for Rapture3d sound drivers. May not achieve the same effect as with Standard Sound drivers.
* Please BACKUP the relevant files in Audio Folder.
* High Quality AI sound files May cause crashes with ACAT Mod due to the files being too large to load when selecting "ANY" car.(use it at your own risk)
