I use tire squeal to gage how hard I'm pushing the limits in corners. Problem is when I'm near other cars I'm not sure if I'm hearing my tires squealing or the guy's alongside me. If I increase the volume of the skid.wav file will that increase only the volume of the tire squeal of my tires or does it increase the volume from everyone's tires? Ken

Maybe decreasing the number of simultaneously played sounds in the options cures your problem a bit. Regards Crash
Thanks, I'll try setting it to 3, but I'm only using 4 sounds now. ;) Ken Joachim Blum wrote:

By the time you read this you'll probably already have tried it. When I turned it down to 3 I lost my "shift" sound, which surprisingly enough made it harder to drive. For me, 4 is the minimum. Some day, when I get my screaming new PC (right after pigs fly) I'll be able to turn the # of sounds up, and all the graphical goodies on, and see what I've been missing...
