Quote from TagForce :

Thank you!
That is now mapped to a key (which I can't reach anyway)
"Ouch! If you're sorry please drop your handwritten apology off on a red velvet pillow at the following address: TagForce, ******* ** **** ** ******* *******"

ROTFL

Also teamspeak will eventually take over to the point no one types anymore.....and on that note IMO it's less work to say sorry then it is to press F7, but I will still accept verbal apologies

But some people are driving and typing freeks, I,ve been on with racers that can talk, talk and talk and still hammer through chicanes (sp?) so then they are sincere becase they pressed five buttons rather than one?

If you keyboard is far away like mine I have to pull over to type. I think you guys are asking way too much from gamers.

Most places if you hit somone and wait till after the race to say sorry, then you have someone freeking out, typing curses at you, for not appoligizing....trying to vote ban you etc.....Blind "Sorrys" help much more than not......it's only if your too sensitive and need it personalized that it dosn't.

I will now blind "Sorry Steve" and " I'm sorry I thought your name was Steve"...lol

That shows how intense the sound can be in an open cockpit

This is one of my favorite "touge" battle ...

SANTA!.......I know him!

Quote from Gimpster :

Touge is not just about drifting. Nore is only run in a run/chase format. Touge is a personal battle between drivers, nothing more. It started in the mountians of Japan when one driver would not allow another to pass. These battles have evolved since then and are run up-hill, down-hill, and roads that do go up and down, on both narrow and wider roads, twisty or more straight. Touge drivers use every style of driving when approate, its all about winning the race, so they drift where drift is faster and grip where grip is faster.

Touge is nothing more then a personal battle between two drivers, nothing more.

Glad somone's talking some sense

Quote from al heeley :

Fair comment, but whether you type it or map it is irrelevant, it is the 'remorseful' use of it that is the issue.

I 100% agree.....If somone, has it blinded and hits me and I get;
Sorry!
Sorry!
:~(
:~)
Sorry!
It's clear that it's mapped, but I can also tell they care that they made a mistake...

Why not ask for a hand writen applology, and they can drop it off at your home on a red velvet pillow...lol
Sorry!
Sorry!

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

ahahaha that cracked me up
quite close to the truth. nice sinthesis ability there.

It's called onomatopoeia.....is a word that imitates the sound it represents.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Well, there is the output shaft, and there are gears that are attatched to that even while in neutral, arent there?

Yep, thats why you can't just slam it in reverse when your parallel parking, you have to wait for the the OS to stop spinning first, but i don't think it would make any sound without gear to gear contact.

Also I think everyone should have their wind, echo, and skid volume boost on max for the time being.....and it also sounds much better through the stereo with your sub cranked than headphones.

Not exactly like what your looking for but some people like the garage pack I made for the game .....I'm going to make some news ones too.

No one is pulling any punches, but in a real company making a game people would be just as candid, 90% of people here do nothing but say how great this game is compared to any other on the market.....the Devs get plaenty of compliments for making the greatest sim racer ever!...

As far as the FOX is concerned, I'm watching "Star Racer" today and the new FOX sounds almost the exact same as the mazda speed open wheel racer they race on that show, so it's not as bad as some people think.

I think this is what a patch forum is all about, lots of honest feedback = amazing final S2 and S3

Using the keyboard to play live for speed is like being a design firm that only uses mspaint...lol

Quote from deggis :

I was bit surprised that Scawen has been working on the sounds in the first place. That is really great. This kind of hints that we could expect to see bigger sound improvements in the next in-compatible patch, no?

As said 10+n times, BF1 was really horrible. Previously it was good, sounded like a bee but at least it was totally different to other cars. On the other hand LX6 was great, though it was probably previously the best sounding too, now the engine tone is really spot on.

With gear shift sounds I wasn't impressed at all... mostly because I've already used to them with CSR. It needs to be louder and noisier. Gear whine sound like a jet engine, but definately better than no gear whine at all.

If I was Scawen I'd get in contact with Todd Wasson and ask how he implemented these. Check these out, according to Todd these are fully generated. In my opinion sounds better than LFS - sounds also very synthetic but these also has a bit of that noisy rrooooaaarrr feel that LFS competely lacks.

RBR is sampled, just a bit differently than most of the sampled engines. Also DR is sampled, and it is very basic system. Though haven't played it in couple of months... but I guess that part hasn't been changed.

Those I like, they have the agressive (almost hammering) cam sound and its poppy at idle......I would like to have more extreme sounds that sound synthetic, over realistic sounds that sound wimpy...but that's just me

Quote from BlackMan :

BF1 - TC sounds so funny and so weird that after 50meters i couldnt drive longer

I agree the BF1 is as unplayable as racing with no sound at all.

Well I shut up and spent more time listening and changing the sound card props etc.....and I have to say a few of the cars are really a huge improment;

LX6
LX4
FOX

Quote from Brainblaster666 :

This carsound is a bad joke!! illepallillepallillepall Now I definately stay on GTL!!

Best wishes for the future!! LFS can suck my balls!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to be a smart lip, on the internet were unlike real life you walk away with out a broken nose

Quote from MoonForce :

dunno if mentioned already, rpms sounds (still?) weird, 3000rpm in almost every car sound like 900-1100 rpm and 6000-8000 rpm sounds like 3000 rpm, dunno if i am wrong, what u think?

I agree, perhaps if a layer of higher pitched engine noise faded in at 4 or 5000 rpm ......also I need to hear the cam popping at idle, and a rough idle, race cars like the xrr would have a crazy sounding set of cams.

Quote from Mc21 :

anyone know a converter?

I use this one for makking OGG's it say's it will do raw to wav

good example of how painfullly loud a race car is from inside a ferrari 355http://video.google.com/vid ... q=ferrari+f50gt&hl=en

Quote from Vain :

@Hurts2bStock: What you heard in a kart was a motorbike gearbox. A H-Gate gearbox makes only a very small sound when you put in a gear, because the mechanism is totally different.

By cart I ment Champ car, not go-kart

Quote from ORION :

This is the only sound that can actually help, the others are soooo low quality

Just for examples, not donating sound files....I was only trying to help describe my suggestions

Quote from Azaazaa :

Anyone else got sound crackling like this? Seems to be worst in the FXR and BF1.

I just did 3 laps in each and none of the cracklin' sound from your MP3

Gearing Down

I think we need the cam and valve sound like this

http://www.autospeak.com/grpsnda/loud02.wav


Basically I think I would rather it sound like a chainsaw than a vacum

Also the little cars should sound a bit ricey, as low end racecars do

It's a start, but far from a finish sound wise.

Gear change is good, let's make it scarier and louder on the race cars........Ive been to over a dozen IRL/Cart races and the snap of the gear change is always amazing.....loud like a small lightning strike.

I have to agree with the BF1 being the biggest letdown since it was the one car that had half decent sound before... ....As fore mentioned the sound needs a few more layers, exaust and high end gear/motor sounds perhaps. It really is missing the higher pitched sounds like BBT said.

Race cars sound like they are going explode any minute when going full out, not like you have a bunch of wet towels wraped around your head

Well with all the crap they put on the speed channel over here it definatly deserves a spot.
