GTR pit to car talk...

Hi... Can anyone understand the mumbling pit crew messages over the in car pit radio? I was part way through a 24hr Spa (off-line) race and running 3rd when I received (rx) a garbled message... which I could not understand. Next lap I ran out of fuel at Blanchimont... D'oh! Ok, I know I should have worked out the in-pit fuel stops/laps... but is there any way to improve the 'pit speak'? Real racing drivers would have an ear piece (or two) in there helmet's (painful, eh!), not a speaker on the dash! With the pit talk mingled with all the other car sounds I find it is difficult to hear what is said! A warning to stop for fuel is a pretty important message... as I found out to my cost :( Oh, incase I did'nt mention it... this is an awesome race sim; well done SimBin... DaveH-UK

Had the same problem compounded by the Other -Side-of-the-Atlantic accent. Opened the gamedata/sounds/pit folder and found the offending files which are all .wav files. Using the windows sound recorder applet I constructed my own versions of the files, named them the same and then dropped them into the pit folder as substitute (backup originals first) Now have my own voice berating me for being an idiot for running out of gas and other assorted errors. being in the middle of a nasty 2nd gear chicane is no place to be wondering"what was that he said?"

Don't know about the radio but there is a low fuel warning lamp on the dash. "DaveH-UK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Aghhh... now that's the kinda fix I like :) Thanks Dave... brilliant idea. I will get right on it. Did'nt realise there was a fuel 'warning' light on the dash either; thanks Tiny. Only had the sim for a few days so I am still on a steep learn'in curve. DaveH-UK Dave Erb wrote:

You could try this GTR German-English Pit Radio patch, but I am not certain it will work with 1.3. http://www.m4driving.it/download/7866.html "DaveH-UK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
