@Badi

Did you load everything into the right slots as explained in the readme? If your still having problems e-mail me on ian@gp4sound.tk and I'll send you a .bnk file with v1.1 and BMW sounds in

What is the original skidding wav. called and is there more than 1 in the .bkn file

There are two original skidding files ones called TC_Laterial_Dry_Skid_FL.wav (In slot 0) and the others called TC_Longitudinal_Dry_Skid_FL.wav (In slot 1)

excellent work as i said before, just note that it will be possible to have different sound.bnk's percarset with zaz's latest version of carset manager whenever he releases it. im sure he said it would be possible to include any file in a carset, hence it would be possible to have a non tc and a tc sound set, i genuinely love your tc sound set but dont like driving with tc on hence i wanted sounds to match.
as for the skid sound i think it really good, you just have to get the balance right in the advanced sound menu, i have skid noise down to 31 % and engine on 100%, external engines on 81% etc and for me thats about perfect, except as i mentioned above for the downshifting.

Calean, I will try these settings! Thanks! Don't worry, v1.2 will come with both TC and Non-TC, as everyones preference is different! This is good news about ZaZ's Carset manager having different .bnk files! But I would really love track specific .bnk files just so that in the 2001 season, the TC noise can come in at Spain (I think thats where it was Introduced!) Which I think would be quite realistic! Anyway like we've said before, thanks for all your comments and constructive critisim!

yeah I will try calean settings too....

@caelan when you say external engines at 81%, do u mean the other car engines ?

thx

oh yeah other car engine volume,(actually just checked and i had other cars set to 71 not 81) but i dont know if those exact values will work for others, it will probably depend on your sound card and speaker setup, im using an old sound blaster live with surround sound, doesnt support 5.1, but i do have a reasonable speaker set.
but i think the answer is to just vary settings and find whats best for you.

Thanks yet again for the feedback.

It really helps for v1.2.

Marko, I love this effort....it is outstanding...

I noticed in the ver 1.1 when watching replays, the only car that sounds normal as it passes is the car selected in the replay to watch at that time, the other cars sound odd, like old arcade, very flat and muted....I checked it by putting back in version 1 and the cars sounded normal. I am using a fresh copy of version 1.1 with no changes, all as downloaded....I don't know if it matters or not but when I took a peak inside the sound bank, there were many empty slots and a few files with a ".wav.wav" file extension (yes, repeated) hope this helps, and keep going!!

Very good job, markko and IanWoollam !!
I just tested it and the difference is huge compare to original sounds.
And yes, downshifting, upshifting, TC are really great
I just noted one detail : in the stand, when pitcrew are changing tyres, we only hear one airscrewer (or maybe two at best) as we can see pitcrews screwing other tyres, maybe offsetting the same sound 4 (or 2) times would be better for this, but it's a detail

Nice work.

We are trying to work on Pit sounds for v1.2

@markko

Outstanding work! it's like a new sim with your sounds.

I got the BMW working now. On my PC it sounds much "higher" then your original Ver. 1.1 ...

About your next update 1.2:

The "outside" engine sound. It sounds great now, but could you make it a little higher so one can hear the high pitch when the car is accel. from the distance? I was in Monza and the cars sound really "high" powered when they accel after a turn. Do I make sense???



SAUBER will be back!

@badi

I think I understand what your talking about, we'll see what we can do on the next version

Maybe he has a time machine??

hi guys, thanks for a great update, however is there another skid sounds around or can someone repost the default ones, i cant for the life of me get use to these new ones mind corner slids sound bad to me, and silly me didnt back up things before hand as im getting to use to great updates that work out first time

cheers



Refuse to Lose

Don't worry, v1.2 will feature a Non TC version, which means the Skids will return to the deafult, but until then, I'll send you the original .wav files
