LODs, or Levels of Detail, are lower-poly, lower-detail (hence the name) models that games use for objects that are far away from the player, to keep framerates smooth. BGVs contain 4 LOD Databases, which in turn each contain one LOD model of minimum (LOD 0), low (LOD 1), medium (LOD 2) and high (LOD 3) quality. |

This format contains playback parameters and pitching info for a given vehicle's engine sound effects, stored mostly as floating-point numbers. BGVs use two of these files for high and low speed ranges. The files were merged into the BGV starting with revision 0x17; prior to this, they were stored externally in the same folder as the BGV, with the file extensions <code>.HSM</code> and <code>.LSM</code>. |
