NSR - A few questions...

Missing spotter and other NSR settings questions

Larry asked why NSR's spotter was silent, why VOIP did not work and whether the 'eject on crash' option could be turned off. Others said the spotter only spoke during race sessions and was very quiet, though some never heard it at all. Settings fixes in the player .plr and .ctl files were pointed out.

1. Anyone heard a peep out of their Spotter? Not me. None. Sound is all the way up. It's like he's not there. I can hear the Crew Chief but not a single word out of the spotter. I ran a few online races and everyone else said the same. No spotter! 2. VOIP doesn't seem to work. 3. Can you turn off the "Eject on Crash" nonsense? 4. Any way to adjust the Gamma? I just installed a new GeForce 6800GT and it works great, but it's darker than my old 9800 Pro. I'm sure I can adjust the overall in the GeForce drivers, but I prefer to adjust this in-game. That'll do for now :) -Larry

Larry, somewhere in your Player_name.plr file, it is just like the papy files we adjusted, your looking for the line that says something about AI control... do a text search... Im betting it is the same as the demo that is... Larry enlightened us with:

Never worked in the Demo. We fully expected it to work in the release version though :) -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yeah, got the crash thing and VOIP (I think - have to test) taken care of. There is no spotter though. What you are hearing is your Crew Chief and maybe an announcer. No car low, high, etc... Not a peep. -Larry "Bob V" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I hear my spotter. He tells me that a car is low, outside, still there, etc. Needs to be louder though.

High. I just did an offline race and heard the spotter too (though the volume is way too low). I think the spotter only works during RACE and no other sessions. That was the first actual race session I had run. -Larry "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The spotter works ONLY during the actual race- not in any of the practice sessions. I have no idea for the reason for this- it makes nom sense to me. The same is true for the waving pitboard/ pit box indicator. Who knows?

No, I figured out that it isn't persistent like it is in NR2003. You have to turn it back on if you leave the track or race (not sure which yet. Haven't been paying attention). -Larry "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RGtRd.1390$[email hidden]...

I've got enought CPU to cover that so it shouldn't be an issue. The spotter would be the wrong feature to disable anyway, unless it's your wife of course :) -Larry "Schooner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G8uRd.85$NN.39@edtnps89...

Well, I just ran 5 online races and I can say that the Spotter doesn't work durning the RACE segment either :) There's all kind of chatter about cars entering/leaving the pits, etc... but ZERO instances of "Car High/Car Low". I think it's busted. -Larry "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lCARd.51878$EG1.8572@lakeread04...

It works fine here. I have a Hercules GTXP and 5.1 speakers and the spotter comes in loud and clear from the center speaker. I haven't been able to find any 3D sound options that might help others yet. Ed

I don't even hear it in race! I'm not the only one reporting it. Most of the online races I've run are littered with "How do you turn on the spotter" chats. -Larry "Chris Maness" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Spotter didn't work online for me either; offline you need the spotter volume at 100% and the rest down to about 50% to be able to hear him. "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Sm1Sd.52426$EG1.19665@lakeread04...

There isn't a player.ini file in the NASCAR SimRacing folder. I looked in My Documents too. Can you please tell me where it is?
