5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Operation
The ESS Dual+ calculates sound output in real-time based on your throttle input and movement speed, combined with the current engine speed. This ensures a dynamic and realistic sound experience that is not merely proportional to throttle input.

The RC PLUS software, a product of Sense Innovation, allows for comprehensive functional settings and sound management. You can purchase and download new engine sounds, brake sounds, turbo sounds, and auxiliary sounds (like alarms and horns) from the integrated sound store. The software also enables players to install two different sounds with different break, turbo, and settings into the ESS Dual+ 2017 module, allowing for easy one-button switching between them.
