You can't edit any 'meshes' so forget about changing how the cars or tracks look. The most you
COULD do is create layouts, but you appear to be a demo user, the layout editor is an S1-S2 feature.

As for the sounds, you can simply replace your existing file with the ones you download, although i
recommend you backup the original. As for editing sounds, i used Sound Forge, i can open and edit
.raw files directly. The 'bov' sound is called " DumpValve.raw " and is located in the LFS/data/snd folder.

They basically edit the .dds files that are located in data\dds. To edit a dds file you need photoshop and the Nvidia dds plugins.

Now ive doenloadedf sound forge and used it. I have downloaded a dump vavlve before and the sound is very low in the game so ive edited it. Ive amplified the sound so it is louder. But when I use the edited dump vavlce it does not get louder in the game. Why??
