These men and women, racing everything from AMA flat track motorcycles to vintage sports and formula cars, IRL and CART drivers, sprint and midget drivers and Winston West stock car drivers, to a person, say thay can easily hear their opponents around them. They rely on this as much as they do their mirrors to keep track of the field around them. Many mentioned that the start is the worst, that often one must drive by the tach because you cannot hear your own engine until the field thins out. -- don New GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker1.freeserve.co.uk/gpl/index.html http://www2.tpg.com.au/users/brucek/hmrc/index.htm

You can't here other cars from yours. Whilst a lot of peopl think this is totally pants and lazy programming, when was the last time you heard another car from an in-car camera on TV coverage in F1 or CART or something? Maybe it's lazy programming, maybe it's not. Doesn't bother me. In some sims I can't here my own engine, it gets drowned out by the other..!! doug JT88 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:R1gj5.68233$[email hidden]... > I was just wondering if anyone else actually hears the AI cars whiledriving > on the track.

I was just wondering if anyone else actually hears the AI cars while driving on the track. I only hear them when they pass the pits while i'm watching the qualify screen from the cockpit. If i'm out racing or practising I only hear my car. Is this normal? I have a P3/450, 128 Ram, V3/3000, SB16 PnP sound card, and Microsoft USB Digital Sound System 80 (which should bypass the SB16.)

And yet Damon Hill said he has only once heard another engine (Gerhard's when it went bust at Hockenheim).
