"Drivers, Start Your........"

Hi all, when N4 came out about a year ago the only thing I didn't like was the annoying sound of "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines".......and now, with N2002 demo we get the same annoying sound, but with "Drivers, Start Your Engines". In N4 I was advised to add a blank .wav file named gsye.wav to the Sounds/sppc folder to remove the sound, and it worked great......tried the same trick in the demo, with no luck so far, it's the only little nit I've got to pick with the demo, otherwise I think it rocks, but the sound quality of that little bit makes me nuts, and I hear it quite often after resetting races I've crashed out of, so, .........any ideas? TIA, Ed -- Ed White [email hidden]

Hi, Just a guess, but how about trying dsye.wav instead of gyse.wav? John

Good guess, but no dice; just tried that. I'd be interested in a solution to this one, too - having to listen to that announcer over and over is highly annoying.

Don't know a lick, but what happens if you remove the file altogether? Mike

Move it up out of SPCC folder into the main SOUND folder. - Eric "Ed White" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OTf28.24111$[email hidden]... > Hi all, when N4 came out about a year ago the only thing I didn't like was > the annoying sound of "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines".......and now, with > N2002 demo we get the same annoying sound, but with "Drivers, Start Your > Engines".

Thanks Eric, but that didn't do it either. I tried a blank wav file, named either gsye.wav or dsye.wav in both the SOUND/SPCC and main SOUND folders. None of the four combo's made any difference; still get "Drivers, start your engines!" upon entering a race. Wouldn't mind it so much if I could just turn it down!

I got the same results as Steve, is there a specific file type or attribute needed? -- Ed White [email hidden] "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G1k28.6894$[email hidden]... > Thanks Eric, but that didn't do it either.

Ed...I really recommend the N4 soundpack at the pits put together by Chad Sparks. The car sounds great and the "Gentlemen, start....." sound file is much improved. I've enjoyed the sounds from that soundpack for sometime now. Just a suggestion..... Bruce Ed White wrote:

The wav file is called gseye.wav in N4 and needs to reside in the spcc folder. I believe you just have the wav file incorrectly named, yours was missing the 1st "e" I beleive. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Bruce & Llo <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Ed...I really recommend the N4 soundpack at the pits put together by Chad > Sparks.
