NSR: Other engine sounds line in .PLR file doesn't do anything for me

I have dropped it to .6, .5, .3, .2 and finally .1...no difference. All the other values affect the sound, but the "other engines" are still about 5 times louder than they should be. When I am at Dover, for example, I don't want the car a whole straight behind me to sound louder than my own engine. Adjusting this value worked in NT2004 if I recall, but no go here. I have read others suggesting adjusting it, so I assume it is adjustable for some? What values are people using?

Same here. Changing that value has made no difference for me. -Larry "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PCmUd.2427$[email hidden]...

IIRC I had to go down to the 0.03000 range. Mitch -- Remove "nospam." to reply. SuSE 9.2 Pro KDE 3.3.2a

Tried that, too and no change. Did you do any other sound adjustments? Marc "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7qHUd.1462$[email hidden]...

Yes I did make (way to many) other .plr tweaks so yes it could have been something else but Im not sure which did it other than this one. Mitch -- Remove "nospam." to reply. SuSE 9.2 Pro KDE 3.3.2a

And you can hear a dramatic difference (like it is now 1/3 what it used to be)? The game is basically unplayable with the default levels and I can't get it off of them! It is so aggravatingly loud and it blocks the sound of the spotter and crew chief (which I have adjusted upward already). If you could take a moment, please tell me what all your levels are set at. This could be a Papy influence thing (remember the absurd and illogical volume controls in N3 where if you had anything above 50% it didn't work correctly?!?!?). If you have many levels fairly low vs. me who has them set high...?? Although lots of other people are reporting they can't adjust it either...
