Lemans 2001 Mod for F1 2001 - No sound after Manual install?

Hi everyone, I've tried an 'auto install', but it didn't work so I've tried manual install and everything works except the sound which I have none for the cars at all. Skids and shifting sounds work ok, but no cars. Any ideas? James

First have you tried the updated installer? It is available at : http://www30.brinkster.com/imola/19dodge.html just unzip that .exe file into the folder where your installer was temporarily saved{i.e. where you unzipped the installer.} Or the other solution is to use window explorer, and look in the same folder where the installer was first unzipped. Inside is a folder called installer\files\sounds just copy EVERYTHING inside that sounds folder to your F12001\sounds\car\ folder. at the website above is one small file to replace a faulty version in the installer AND make SURE you do not use the season 2001 starting grid option. Choose a starting position manually. dave henrie

Hi, I too have tried in vain to get the sounds to work for this mod, I copied the 'car' sound files manually after the install, checked that 'INI' file was pointing to the correct location, but still no joy. In the end, I simply copied the vehicles, plus associated files, into my FIA GTV3 mod (leaving the LMP sounds in same 'sounds\car' folder) to test and this works without a problem - loving roaring of engines! :O) I've rebooted, checked all the files and folders for problems, but the engine sounds refuse to work in the game. As great as the soundfx sounds are, it's impossible to enjoy driving without my ears bleeding to the tune of a good old 'V' spec engine! :O( I really want these sounds to work - please, any other ideas? Cheers, Paul T

There is a complete update for the installer including 2 other updates as well, at the F1-2001 Mod Installer Support Site. You might want to try it. http://www30.brinkster.com/imola (It is reported working ;-) /Carl "Paul Thorp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I know that it's reported to be working, which is why I want it working on my PC. I got the latest update from this website, but still no joy, all files in the right places, all config files pointing to the correct places, but no engine roar ... lots road noise, wind noise, rumble strips, grass/gravel sounds, skidding and even the music, but no engines. I've tried relocating to other directories and changing the lines in the 'INI' file, but still no joy ... it's almost as if the game is looking for the wrong file names for this cars, but I know this is untrue as they work beautifully if I put the cars into the FIA mod? Very weird ... Oh well, thanks for the cars ... I'll figure out some other way of just racing the LeMans cars because they really are extremely well done, love 'em! :O) ~Paul

There is a thread or two about this on the message base at the LeMans site. I forget which file it was, but some users had sucess by copying the f1car.sound or some such file. Check out the bug threads at the main site. It might have something. And they have re-released the initial full install with the current bug fixes and one extra car. dave henrie

I Just installed it using the latest installer and . . . no car engine sounds. The engine sound files are in the right directory and the .ini file is pointing to the right sound dir. The rest of the mod works fine and the sounds are still working in all the other mods and the original F1_200 game. Has anyone got this to problem licked yet ? Elrikk The cars are drop dead gorgeous !!!
