Ok Dave, i tested your pack some more, and i think it's great. But the LX sounds are still bad IMO.. Please, if you have headphones, listen to the LX4 and LX6 on high revs going full throtlle. There is some repeating sound that is just so anoying and really hurts my ears and my head. Can you please fix that? Other than that, everything is fine so far. MRT sounds great, so does the XRT, FXR and F08...

Edit: deggis, if no one finds any good porsche sounds, do you think I could use your FZR sounds, which I would soften slightly? (because the FZR is a race bred racing car, unlike the FZ5) In fact I still don't know if I am going to use them for the FZR yet. Can't make up my mind.

I want this pack to be as realistic as possible though, and maybe a huge V12 lambo sound is going a bit far?? I'll try it anyhow.

Sure why not, not like those were my sounds samples.

yamakawa's original FZR sounds may sound closer to a race Porsche than mine, but the sounds are actually from Lister Storm (V12) from GTR2. And in my opinion the pitch is still a bit weird. Though hard to know how FZR is even supposed to sound like in the LFS universum because it's not turbo and race Porsches usually are GT2 classified cars (FZR definately isn't with 500 hp).

Maybe you could try to find samples from rFactor's Porsche Cup mod?

Yeah, I downloaded that, and they were honestly, crap. It was as though they used one sample, once, and just changed the pitch a bit. GTR2 has Porsche's in it hasn't it?

Edit: I actually edited the pitch and blending a bit with yamakawa's FZR, does it sound any better than his original?

@ The LX's, I am not quite sure what you mean there. I do know that the sounds should be harsher and louder than the norm, because they are effectively outside sounds with the LX's. Not quite sure what repeating sound you mean though. Anyway i'm going to bed now.

yes.

ok, I thought you only added brake squeal. Had to check it and mid sample RPMs are much higher but global range and everything else is same. I don't know but in my opinion it is somehow weird, maybe I don't like those Lister Storm samples that yamakawa used because I'm used to my own edit.

I installed the sounds as directed in readme.txt but the sounds don't work...

Have you downloaded this: http://www.k5.dion.ne.jp/~yama-p/CSR_031_Full.zip

Quote from deggis :

1. Open cfg.txt from your LFS folder, replace the last 5 lines with this:

OutGauge Mode 2
OutGauge Delay 1
OutGauge IP 127.0.0.1
OutGauge Port 35555
OutGauge ID 0

2. check that the green light next to "User" is on in the CSR main window.

3. check your folder structure.

yes.

I don't have GTR2 *hint* *hint*

Edit: P.S. There is no vid of my pack in action on YouTube

Excellent work!

I use CSR and the pack since some days.

But is it normal, that some car engines hear scrape and other engines has no scrape?

All would be perfect, If i could resolve this problem.

Request:

Ok, as a lot of you know, I have still yet to make sounds for the FXO and the FZ5 for the full sound pack.

For the FXO I am looking for someone who has a link to a decent quality sound of a Subaru Impreza onboard, or a video, suitable for taking good samples from. I have not managed to find any yet. An alternative is any samples of a Subaru Impreza from any games?

I would like the same for the FZ5, but I am looking for some good Porsche sounds.

Cheers.

I don't have either GTR2, only the demo which has Lambo, Saleen (crappy sound), Ferrari 757 and Lister.

I might do new and better CSR preview vid when you'll release the next version of this pack.

I'm afraid those are way too low quality...

There is a good Subaru Impreza sound clip on this page: http://tuningatt.free.fr/HTML/dl.htm

The quality of the first one should be good enough, after all I made the FO8 from a GP2 onboard vid from youtube. Plus your first vid has some nice onboard sounds.

@ jamesgp2viper: sound may be usable, I say maybe becuase of the way the engine is louder in one speaker, and also the turbo is very loud, and interferes a bit. I will experiment with anyway, so thanks.

I am not entirely sure what you mean. If you mean scraping on a wall, this has no connection with CSR and therefore my sound pack.

@) let us know if you use it would love impreza sound in lfs

Yeah I will use the Impreza sound for the FXO definately, as they both have more or less the same engine.

Still looking for a Porsche one though.

What would it take to copy sounds from say XFR to MRT5 for now? Basically I can't drive any car in LFS without the new sounds so even if it's not legit or 'right' I gotta change them. Would I just rename all the files to MRT5_?

Yes renaming them and putting them in the correct vehicle folder will do the job. I did this to change an LX6 soundpack to work with the LX4.

Great work DaveWS btw, I've got your complete soundpack installed, and am loving it. Thanks to all the guys who made some of the soundsets in the first place as well, some of the cars sound brilliant. XFR in particular is my fav at the mo.

Just a thought, Simbin's new WTCC game comes out soon, maybe some of the samples in that would be a good match for a couple of LFS cars as well?

Not sure does that work properly... all the RPM range settings and all are in the .dat files and they might not fit other car well.

If you have played the demo you know that the sounds are crappy. Actually surprisingly crappy for a SimBin game.

And actually the XFR sound is from that already, James_uk stole the samples from a real recording that was on the Race-game.com page.

Yeah that should work. There may be some pitch issues. Anyway, why would you want to do that? My pack uses samples taken from a real Yamaha R6 recording for the MRT.

Well it worked good for LX6 - LX4 swap, but not much difference in them cars..probably sound really out of place swapping others around.

I tried the Race demo today, the sounds in it as you say are crap TBH but based on their previous games there should be a few good ones in it.

Yeah I too realised that the sound I previously used with the LX6 suited the LX4 better. So that is why I swapped them in the soundpack. The LX6 uses a straight 6 sound (like it should) from jamesgp2viper.

Oh damn! I have no CSR sounds playing for the MRT. I had this prob with the XFR too and a re-install of CSR fixed it. I've been using your pack from the moment I saw it available so I don't know what's up with the MRT now. I've just checked and I do see data in the MRT folder.

I had a problem with XFR too that it just refused to play any sounds in that particular car. CSR re-install fixed it, I think this problem is related only the CSR - I tried changing the sound pack and it didn''t make any difference.

ps. yamakawa, anybody home?
