Water trail/sound for wheeled vehicles in short water please (and maybe a tire track)

[Shougun]

Very very minor issue but one I thought looked a bit silly (not high priority issue lol, at all).

Thought about putting this in bug report section but felt like it could be working as intended lol.

Anyway, when you take your Falcon (wheeled mount) or SDS Fenrir through shallow water there is no water kick up or sounds (sounds like you're driving on dirt). Falcon has nothing but rather for Fenrir it's that dry dirt, which doesn't really make sense.

I was thinking of this also because with Regalia coming out it'll probably kick up dirt or nothing in water too, and have no sound effects for shallow water either.

Some mounts do leave tracks in water so it's not like it's not a thing for any mounts (most mounts with feet will leave puddle marks like we do when we walk in water).

All photos are taken while in motion, driving over the shore (no water effect, no water sounds):



Flying over deep water, has sounds/effects:


Extra points if you can make wheel tracks (foot prints for wheels), but that seems like it'd need a whole new system..

Anyway thank you

Oh boy PLEASE... I just got the Fenrir and noticed this almost immediately, wasn't sure if other wheeled mounts had similar issues. It seems like a simple enough change to implement, but I could easily be wrong there. I know they have a lot on their plates right now but an eventual tweak to these mounts would be awesome.

Tracks would be super cool, even if they disappeared pretty quickly to avoid effects clutter.

A personal wish of mine would also be to make the engine a little louder on the Fenrir, it seems like a really beefy bike but the sound is barely a whisper unless I crank the rest of the soundfx up, some of which can get pretty deafening. It'd just be cool if the bike itself sounded a little more powerful, though I can understand the engine idling getting obnoxious to some people. Maybe only rev it up while moving.

Would be cool.

Also, while they're at it, would be nice if they'd kick up snow/sand where relevant, rather than only dirt.

Not sure if it's possible but they at the very least, discern those terrain types for using footprints so maybe...

Ooo.. Snow and sand would be neat. Not sure if they can do that or not (I know they can detect shallow water because other mounts show they can) but if they can do sand/snow as well that'd be really neat for sure!

It should be possible. I mean, if you jump in the snow while on the Fenrir bike, there's a little splash of snow particles. Which doesn't appear to be universally tied to the character model (I.e. There's no similar splash if you jump on say Sleipnir, instead just smaller splashes when its hooves land back in the snow)

Which suggests that the mount can and does already check for the presence of at least snow for unique particle effects. It's just a matter of also having the spray of dirt from moving also be dynamic based on the terrain.
