📋 About This Mod

ETS2 Tunnel Radio

v0. 4 — now supporting ETS2 1. 60 · ProMods 2. 83 · Middle-East Add-on 🇮🇱

Two tunnel databases ship in the box — vanilla 1. 60 (all map DLCs incl. Nordic Horizons) and ProMods 2. 83 + Middle-East (yes, including the Carmel tunnels in Israel). The app auto-detects your game version AND active map mods and loads the matching database — switch between vanilla and ProMods profiles and it follows you automatically.Realistic radio signal loss in tunnels for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

In real life, FM radio dies when you drive into a long tunnel. In ETS2 it plays on at perfect quality everywhere. Tunnel Radio fixes that: drive into a tunnel and your radio fades into crackling static — drive out and the music comes back. It works with your own in-game radio stations.

Watch the demo — with sound (driving in, radio fades to static, driving out, music returns):

Features

  • []Automatic tunnel detection — a database of every tunnel in the map, built from the game's own "covered space" zone data (the same data the game uses to stop rain and add reverb inside tunnels). No manual setup for known tunnels.[/]

    []Map-aware — ships with TWO databases (vanilla 1. 60 and ProMods 2. 83 + Middle-East) and picks the right one automatically by reading which map mods your game actually loaded. Drive the Carmel tunnels with an Israeli station on. 🇮🇱[/]

    []Works with the real in-game radio — one click reroutes your existing station list through the local tunnel engine. You keep your stations, names and order; the in-game radio UI and volume behave exactly as before.[/]

    []10 different static flavors — FM hiss, AM crackle, storm static, a distant station bleeding through, and more. A different one every tunnel, so it never gets repetitive. All procedurally generated (no copyrighted samples).[/]

    []Manual tunnel tagging — for map mods or missed tunnels: press Tag Entry at the portal, Tag Exit at the other end. Saved forever, survives updates.[/]

    []Realistic threshold — short underpasses and bridges do NOT kill the signal; only genuinely long covered stretches (200 m+) do, like real life.[/]

    []Version aware — the app shows your game version, the tunnel-database version, and the telemetry plugin revision, and warns clearly if they don't match.[/]

Requirements

  • []Euro Truck Simulator 2 1. 60.x — the bundled databases are built and tested on 1. 60. Vanilla DB covers the base map + all map DLCs (missing DLC regions simply never trigger). The ProMods database requires ProMods 2. 83 + Middle-East Add-on active in-game. The app shows your game version and map mods next to the database it loaded, and warns clearly on any mismatch.[/]

    []. NET 8 Desktop Runtime (free, one-time install from Microsoft: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8. 0 → ". NET Desktop Runtime").[/]

    []Telemetry plugin — included in this zip (

    telemetry-plugin\scs-telemetry.dll, the standard open-source RenCloud SCS SDK plugin v1. 12. 1, MIT-licensed). Newer versions, source code and updates: https://github.com/RenCloud/scs-sdk-plugin/releases[/]

Installation

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

ETS2 Tunnel Radio is a miscellaneous mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 that simulates realistic FM radio signal loss in tunnels, fading to static upon entry and restoring music on exit. It includes two tunnel databases for vanilla 1.60 and ProMods 2.83 with Middle-East, auto-detecting game version and map mods.

✨ Key Features

Automatic tunnel detection using the game's own covered space zone data, requiring no manual setup for known tunnels.
Ships with two databases (vanilla 1.60 and ProMods 2.83 + Middle-East) and auto-selects the correct one based on loaded map mods.
Works with your existing in-game radio stations, rerouting them through the tunnel engine while preserving station names, order, and UI behavior.
Offers 10 different static flavors including FM hiss, AM crackle, storm static, and distant station bleed-through.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • No endorsements or downloads yet, but the mod is actively updated with v0.4 supporting the latest ETS2 1.60 and ProMods 2.83.
  • Auto-detection of game version and map mods simplifies setup and ensures compatibility across vanilla and ProMods profiles.
  • Enhances immersion by replicating real-world radio behavior without altering the in-game radio UI or station list.

⚠️ Cons

  • The mod relies on the game's covered space zone data, so tunnels not in the database may not trigger signal loss.
  • As a third-party tool, it may require manual installation and configuration outside the Steam Workshop, which could be complex for some users.
🎯 Is This For You?
This mod is for ETS2 players who value realism and want to experience authentic radio behavior in tunnels. It's ideal for those using vanilla or ProMods with the Middle-East add-on, especially if they enjoy listening to in-game radio. Players who prefer a simple, no-frills experience or use unsupported map mods might want to skip it.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Ensure your game is updated to version 1.60 and that any map mods (like ProMods) are active before launching the mod to allow proper database selection.
  • If you switch between vanilla and ProMods profiles, the mod should automatically detect the change, but verify the correct database is loaded in the mod's settings.
  • Test the mod in a known tunnel to confirm the static effect works; if not, check that the tunnel is included in the database for your map version.
