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.

Features

https://github.com/bohbotoly/ets2-tunnel-radio#features" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">

• []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

https://github.com/bohbotoly/ets2-tunnel-radio#requirements" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">

• []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" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">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" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/RenCloud/scs-sdk-plugin/releases[/]

Installation

https://github.com/bohbotoly/ets2-tunnel-radio#installation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">

• []Unzip the release anywhere (e.g. C:\Games\ETS2TunnelRadio\).[/] []Copy telemetry-plugin\scs-telemetry.dll into your game's plugin folder: <game folder>\bin\win_x64\plugins\ (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\plugins\ — create the plugins folder if it doesn't exist). The game shows a one-time "SDK features activated" confirmation on next start — press OK.[/] []Run ETS2 Tunnel Radio.exe once — it installs its tunnel database automatically.[/]

• []Start the app, make sure "Run the local tunnel-radio engine" is ticked.[/] []Click "Make ALL my stations tunnel-aware" (your original list is backed up — one click restores it).[/] []Restart ETS2 and tune the in-game radio to any of your stations.[/] []Drive. Enjoy losing the signal. 🎶→📡→🎶[/]

The big label in the app shows what's happening: the station name while playing, STATIC in tunnels, RADIO OFF when the in-game radio is off, UNAVAILABLE when the game isn't running.
