[REL] Sound Fixes Pack

[Drive Safely]

85% of the base game AI traffic sounds are now complete (▲ +1%)!

I also recorded a video with some gameplay using the English - Grace (AU) voice navigation option from the Sound Fixes Pack, which I've been meaning to do for a while.

Recording it now is a perfect opportunity because I can also demonstrate the brake squeaking feature from 1.50 at the same time.

Apparently you have to do a lot of miles on the truck for the squeakiness to be audible, hence why I've driving my Kenworth W900 which has done over 400,000 km.
