You have FF? It works good on a PII 300mhz without FF. Try getting the
newest drivers from the people that designed the product or try turning off
FF to see if it works better now.

I've visited the Marlboro Masters where Max drove his Yamaha, I think the
sound is spot on. Those bikes just don't make a lot of noise.

With a full field of 24 bikes at max graphics level I get over 45FPS ona Voodoo 2
SLI, P3 450 setup. The cullprit for the slow frame rate is usually one of two
things.

1) Have you enabled force feedback?

2) What sound card are you using what settings have you set it too.

I don't disagree that a 500cc 2-stroke GP bike will pale in comparison to my
600cc 4 stroke or any AMA superbike for that matter.  However,  I have
ridden 2-stroke dirtbikes all my life and have also ridden the old Yamaha
RZ350 (2-stroke street bike) and I know they could have done better.....MUCH
better.  At the very least they could have sampled a real engine instead of
the swarm of bees sound they chose.  Even Motocross Madness had a better
2-stroke sound.  At least it was a real sampled sound and had that true
2-stroke pipey sound to it.  Oh well...maybe one of you guys will figure out
how to extract their sounds and add in our own new ones similar to how
people have reverse engineered GPL, N2, ICR2 etc etc.

  He's talking about the sound.  And if you've heard full bore
4-strokes through a racing pipe, you'll agree that the
whiney sound of  a two-stroke (even a GP bike) doesn't even
come close to the audio thrill.

  Heheh.  I've got a Katana with a worked GSXR motor in
it, running through a Kerker race pipe.  I've got a handful of
other bikes also, both race & street.  That Kat though is my
favorite, both to ride and listen to.  An early GSXR motor
blasting through a Kerker or V & H race pipe is the prototypical
motorcycle sound.    Very little on the planet sounds better.
Other than maybe a pack of similar beasts blasting down the
back straight. :)

have you heard a two-stroke racer in RL?  just curious.  'coz where I
come from three of these bikes warming up would mask the sound of an
entire Superbike-field 0.5 seconds before the flag drips.

You should hear my ZZ-R 1100 with a Yoshimura race pipe :)
