GPL What are the sounds?

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the 16 sounds in GPL are?  Common advice is to run only a
few to lessen the CPU load to run the game at it's best.

One more, I've heard there's an "illegal setup" adjustment to the steering
buried in a file somewhere. Anybody care to make it public?

Thanks, Mike

They're not necessarily 16 "different" sounds, just multiples of similar ones.
For example, if there are several cars close to you in a race, you'll hear
their engine sounds, tire squeal, etc. in addition to your own.  Choosing 16
sounds just increases the number you can hear.  Your own car might have 4-5
sounds playing at once; engine, wind noise, tire squeal, the rumble of outside
tires on dirt(!!), gear change, etc.  While having more than 4-5 sounds adds to
the experience, it costs you FPS and doesn't help you go faster, so experiment
to find the combination you like best.
