Graphics are getting better and better, physics and AI are generally
improving, but I don't think I've played a racing game, F1/Rallying/
Saloons/Sports Cars, where the engine sound has done anything for
me.

You know what I mean, that sound that makes the hairs on the back
of your neck stand up. Is this so difficult.

Interested to hear what readers of this newsgroup think as I have
not tried all games of this genre ?

I think that GPL definately has the best stock engine sounds, but both GPL
and SCGT make it easy to insert any .wav file you want. GPL is bit easier,
but only because the small number of cars make the file naming convention
easier to deal with.

If you ever start feeling silly you can have an hour or so of fun with this
power.

GPL, without a doubt. However...and I'll probably get flamed for this one,
NFS Porsche Unleashed doesn't suck IMO (except from the***pit view...).

New Programmes for Converted GPL Tracks
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

The original Ferrari noise is certainly the best noise I've ever heard in a
sim, shame it's not accurate (or seem accurate).
I remember playing the demo of GPL and thought "Hey, pretty I may buy". I
then visited some mates who had brought GPL that day. I went into there
house and heard this wailing noise. I had a blast around Zandy with the
Ferrari, tail out everywhere, feathering the throttle for the sheer hell of
it. Strangely enough, I brought GPL the next day. ;)

At the moment, I've got some new sounds from the net. The Ferrari is still
my fav (based on the actual V12 sound), though my Honda and Lotus sounds are
quite nice.

The engine noise was quite good in GP2, but better ones became available on
the net. F1RS and MGPRS defiantly had the worst original engine noises,
thank good someone fixed those!

Best motor sounds is Barry Clays version for Dirt Track Racing..

Roll down the windows or put the top down.....  why do you think dogs
love sticking their heads out the window? nah just joking, I agree
that there should be a little more juice to the in car sounds in
NFS:PU.

Ya know, I've taken the demo off my  HD, and don't plan on buying this title
until I can get it for $15 or less, but..... I do love that Porsche Wooooom!
when the program starts up.

Are the 356 sounds just as good? First car was a '58 356.

Just an hour?  Geeze you can have DAYS of fun by tweaking the sound ;-)

Nothing as funny as 19 AI  revving to the "D'oh!" of Homer Simpsons ;)

how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Another game with great sounds -- NHRA Drag Racing. I know, the game
totally sucked. It was one of the most pathetic sims ever produced,
but the sounds were EXTREMELY accurate and when the volume was
increased adequately, my subwoofer would make stuff start falling off
my desk. The sounds are the only reason to even consider playing this
game.
