Is anyone having a problem with the engine sound in Monaco Grand Prix? I
get this awful CLICK sound when I get on the and off the accelerator! I've
tried different control methods, keyboard, THGP1 and a flight stick but
this clicking won't go away. It get's worse after using the sound editor.
I've also tried 2 different sound cards.
Vital system specs:
PII333 (not overclocked)
Herc. Thriller-3D 8 megs
Creative Voodoo-2 w/ 12 megs
Creative Ensoniq Audio-PCI or AWE64
WIN98 w/ DX6
Thanks for any help,
Sal V.

I have a slight occasional click, but not the one you are describing. I
suggest reloading all the sound files from the CD as someone else mentioned
how once he used the editor, things got screwy. Even when he returned all to
default. Also, have you tried the usual fiddling with the /cpa/dll/cpa.ini
fiddling with the "default=wavx2" line? If not, try changing it to wavpw.
Good luck.
One thing that worked for me (someone else's suggestion) was to reduce
the hardware acceleration in Multimedia properties. I am still fiddling
to get a good clean sound, but I started with nothing in-car. I plan to
keep upping the acceleration each time I run the game until problems
ensue again. HTH

Now shouldn't that have been an answer from the support guy who was
posting here yesterday...no surprise, lol :>

You are not the only one...there are more sound problems in MGPRS2 than in
the original F1RS. I get no (or so quiet it is useless) sound from
opponents, CD-music only the second or later times I load a track, sound
cut-outs at points where echoing would be occurring, etc., etc., including
the popping/clicking on 3rd party sounds (which are needed since the
original sounds are so abysmally bad).

I assume you're referring to F1RS and not RS2? IIRC the overall
performance of each car depends on a lot more factors than just engine
power i.e. grip level, individual driver aggressivity & strength.
Therefore the value you can change really only affects top speed on
the straight what can cause odd results at least with some cars.
Irvine is such a problematic case, if you want to raise his
performance to match 97/98 results you'll find that his laptimes won't
improve by much, instead he's now effectively blocking the entire
field because of his low cornering speed vs. extreme top speed.
Maybe that's similar (just the other way around) with the Benettons,
they were much more competitive back in 96 than they are now.
Unfortunately I have no idea what to do about it...other than trying
to lower the values a bit more.

Congratulations. I have a SB PCI 128 that manages to work perfectly with
its current driver set under F1RS (and every other sim., game and app. I
own). It very well could be a problem with the 128, but given Ubi's history
with sound problems, I wouldn't count on it.
On the previous driver set of the 128, F1RS sound was broken, and the same
problems occurred in the Monaco demo (since deleted). (It is now fixed.) I
own every major driving sim. out there, Quake, Quake II, Unreal, some flight
sims., and everything works 100% on my system with no tweaks except for the
two Ubi titles I own.
Marc.
