Sound in Gp2?

Playing with the sound files of GP2, I see that some of the files are
messages from the pits. However, after playing for the past several years, I
have never hear any of these messages. Does anyone know why?

Thanks,

   I believe the feeling in this group is that when this
wonderful sim shipped a year and a half ago, there were
many things that needed attention.  Probably they were
working on a more ambitious sim, with those voices you found,
races in the rain, and other features, and just ran out of
time.  I think they decided that the time to add, or finish,
some of the features would take too long, so they shipped
what they had, which has given us a lot of pleasure.  

   The criticism in this newsgroup is that after shipping,
development should have continued, and patches should have
followed.  Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have happened.  

   People seem to be happy with Ubi's F1 Racing Simulator,
and GP2 looks like it will pass into history as a great sim
"for it's time".  I hope my new system configuration can run
this sim.  

   Visisoft, or "Visiware" or "Visi" something is expected to
release a F1 sim someday.  The program is called "Starting Grid".  
I was expecting it about a year ago, I believe they ran into
problems with licensing.  It would be sad if legal problems, or
Bernie E's greed, prevented this from being released.  I have a
feeling they have already been hurt by being beat to market by
Ubi's product.  I love F1 racing and will buy "Starting Grid",
but I'm sure many won't.  

   Anyone from Visi want to let us know what's happening?

Because they were never incorporated into the final release.
