You can try putting it in the 'sound' folder, but it won't make a difference.
You'll need to convert the .raw file into a .wav file and then place it in the 'engine' folder.
Once in game, press Shift+A, a load of sliders will appear on the right hand side, find the 'Dump Valve' sliders (about halfway down), click on the 'L' beside those sliders and load the dumpvalve.wav file.
Attached a screenshot just incase that wasn't too clear.
Back in Plymouth I was on a Virgin 2mb cable, but now living out in the sticks we're limited to ADSL. Went for o2/Be as they were cheapest and so far so good. The only thing that's bad is the modem/router combo, especially for wireless.
They told us the maximum connection we'd get is 1.5mb and after a few 'speedtests' it's at around 2.5mb, which I can't complain with. No download limits and no peak time capping etc. I think it's something like £12 a month, with the first 2 months free.
I bought another 4200 when TLAD came out, the rest of the points then I bought all of the Forza 2 DLC, PGR4 content and some other little things that I don't remember.
This time I bought Trials HD, a few car packs for TDU and i've still got just under 2k points left over.
Edit: 248 attempts, 23 minutes later and I finally got to the end of that King of the Hill level.
Christ, I paid £35 for 4200 on Monday. Seems quite expensive but you can get enough for your money. Considering a new game costs roughly the same depending on how new it is.
When you say the car can't cost more than 30k, does that include upgrades?
I was thinking more along the lines of minimal engine upgrades, more handling upgrades.
I'll add you on XBL in a little while.
The other thing we could try is my little idea a little way up this page. Attached are the specs of the three cars I tried out. As you'll see they don't have many engine mods, they're not turbo'd and they're all light and grippy. One FWD, one RWD and one MR. All Honda's (no i'm not a fanboy, they just seem to be great handling cars).
I wasn't using different setups for each track. All I did was change the braking balance and pressure, and stiffen the suspension up a bit. I'm not bright enough to get my head around all the other things so I tend not to mess with them.
Providing i'm still not having problems (damn wireless), i'll be up for some more racing tonight. Be good if more people joined in, the AI aren't much fun.
I think when you either sell a car on auction or gift a car with a saved setup, it goes with the car. Not 100% sure on that though.
If not, once one gets made, i'll post it up and everyone can make the setup and then use it. I'm sure you'd tell if someone was using something different.
It wouldn't be the end of the world if everyone used different setups, i'm just after a bit of equal racing with better than standard cars.
I've been thinking about sorting out some cars that are slightly tuned that will be made fixed. I've tested out 3 cars so far, but need some more people to test them out. If you're interested, drop me a PM and i'll send the details of the cars.
If anyone is good at making setups, i'd be grateful with some help at making at setup that everyone could use to make it more even racing.
