Ah ha !. Check out (if the website still exist) [link lost in import] Btw, this is an actual inside-helmet sound or an F1 engine, and it IS realistic. Your just (we are numbers who said like you before) another person who has the normal way of thinking that in-car view sound MUST be the same than what the driver hears. Heck if I strap a micro on the hood of my Volvo 850 T, it ain't really the same sound as what I'm hearing from inside of the car ;-) Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s.

>I just bought F1RS and I think it's pretty decent sim. Correct. Again correct :-) However there is a sound editor called F1BNM.EXE which will allow you to add different wave files. IMHO the sound is fine in F1RS except for that downshifting sound at high speed. It sucks. Apparently this is UBIsofts version of a highspeed downshift/flameout engine sound. www.f1racingsim.com has the editor I mentioned plus several new sound files. Look for shifts.zip which contains 4 new downshifting files. FLAM16D.WAV is the best one imho, so use that. Also, be sure to get the 1998 carsets and the new skyline bitmap files. These can be inserted into the sim using the F1 RAYS editor. It really fixes the crappy skyline graphics of Australia and Canada and others. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

I just bought F1RS and I think it's pretty decent sim. But this awfull engine sound when letting the throttle come or go, it ruins the whole sim, it's sounds like a Atari 2600 console game!!! Is there a way to get a decent engine sound, with a fluid revving noise like GP2 or NASCAR2 ??? Regards, Roger
No, because of the nature of the way in which Ubisoft have the sound for the engine set up. The actual sample, however, is supposed to be how the renault engine would be heard from on-board the car.....so the "noise" may just be correct. The way in which it changes pitch, however, is woeful and can't really be improved upon. > Is there a way to get a decent engine sound, with a fluid revving > noise like GP2 or NASCAR2 ??? > Regards, > Roger -- Regards, Bruce. ---------- The GP Legends Historic Motor Racing Club is located at:- http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/
F1rsrays editor is only for names,engine power and sound settings.The right editor for skylines,carsets,cockpits,sounds,etc is f1rsedit,by Arturo Braz ,and you can find it on the same site (www.f1racing.com). Rafael
