I know what you mean about the Repco Remco.  I prefer driving the Cooper and
Eagle so I found myself using the Repco sound for them as well.  Works great
with them, only problem is that it takes away from the experience of hearing
the chorus of different engines during replays.
I was happily surprised at how good the loops sound in replay using TV1/TV2
view.  The sound of the Repco throttle blipping on downshift is really
amazing.  The fact that you can drop in a real engine sample and get it to
sound so good over the range of idle, full acceleration, throttle lift,
throttle blip-downshift is a reflection of what a great job Papyrus have
done coding for sounds.
I have loops of similar quality for Modern F1 cars.  Try dropping them in
Ubisoft's  F1RS/MGP and they sound like shit in comparison.

best regards,
Patrick

"Sounds" like you have a hit on your hands! But I'm really puzzled. I have a
Compaq 5660 PII-450 with A3D sound support on the motherboard and my
original GPL sounds are superb. I was very anxious to try your new sound
set! When I dropped in your Ferrari sound, it was, well..., horrible. It
reminded me of the sound of those wind-up *** band-powered airplanes that
I used to play with as a boy. It wasn't a matter of taste, this was a sound
that *no one* could enjoy. Any ideas on hardware/software issues that might
make my experience so different than *everyone* else's?

Keep up the great work. Hope that I can enjoy it soon, like everyone else
obviously is!

Regards,

Jack

First off, excellent sampling, Patrick! I've got the CD myself, and have
managed to sample some, but not half as good :-)
There was one problem for me, however, if all sounds are not 16-bit
Mono. The game/Windows crashes, gives me a blue screen complaining about
an error in Dsound.vxd. Then I had to reboot. I verified this by first
only using the original repco-sound, then adding sounds one at the time.
As soon as I added something not 16- or 8-bit Mono, it crashed (even in
rpy's). This could be my puter, though...

What I would like to see, is a "genuine" patch. I have the Grand Prix
Movie soundtrack, and there's lots of in-car sound, I also have a few
BBC live radio broadcasts taped.
I've speeded up the Ferrari Sound, because it didn't sound like 9.ooo
RPM in the Honda, and now it is perfect!
The BRM V-16 sample is amazing too, evrybody should buy this book to
hear the full CD..!

Looking fwd to more great work, Patrick!

Also,
what does detail bias do exactly.

To the left, less detail is seen. To the right, there is more detail.
Example: When you set the slider full left, in an outside view the
head of a driver is like a marble. Do you set the slider full right,
you can see that the driver didn't shave himself in the morning.
Ok, slightly exaggarated, but then you see a drivers head, including
goggles and a face.

I had the same idea but don't have a copy of the movie.  I was trying to
find it on DVD but I guess its not available.  I've been collaborating on
more sounds with a guy named Thomas Brown.  He has a copy of the Grand Prix
film and we are planning to develop some engine loops from it.  I'll let you
know how we are getting on with it.

best regards,
Patrick

Yeah! I would love to have some sounds from the movie. In the scene
where Stoddard is blipping his engine going to the pits at Zandvoort,
the engine sound is just great.

Although it doesn't matter that much. Patrick - your sounds RULE!

% % I just downloaded the new sounds from Pats site:

% While the sounds are great, I have one complaint with them.  The loops
% are too long.  My GPL seems to hiccup while it loads the long wav files.
% The default sound waves for GPL run in the 70 to 80 kb range not 211 kb.

% But, I guess it's okay once they are loaded.  Maybe GPL hiccups because I
% only have 64meg of memory?
