GPL Ferrari Sound

Is there a way to use the original Ferrari sound for all the GPL cars? I think that sound, unique as it was, is more like what I remember those cars (except for the BRM) sounding like. Also, it is more like the sound of the Indy cars of that period, higher pitched and screaming! tia chris

Jari, thanks for the info. I will be on my way to becoming something like a connoisseur of great Ferrari sounds, searching for a full bodied whine but with a dramatic sharp spike on the missed shift override! chris Jari Jokinen wrote:

This is going to be a bit of overkill for you, but go to The Pits and download the Carsound utility. This allows you to set a different sound for each car in the game. The original doubles up on a couple of them and only has 5 actual sounds for the 7 cars. Next, still at The Pits, find a Ferrari sound you like, they have several variants of sampled Ferraris, all better than the original which lacks some of the feel of "The universe being ripped apart" actual Ferraris have. Now, take any wav files you want and name them bra.wav, fer.wav, cov.wav, brm.wav, eag.wav, lot.wav and mur.wav. Add an f2f3.wav for the trainers. Just place these in the GPL sound folder and roar away. Make sure that all seven wav files are present or it won't work. To restore the original sounds just delete these wav files. In your case, just copy the Ferrari wav of your choice seven times over and name them as above. You'll be all set. Of course, while you're at the Pits you might discover car sound sets with good individual sounds that will make you happy. I did.

Thanks Kevin, I will do this. chris

But if you want the ORIGINAL Ferrari sound, get the pack/unpack utility by Corey Rueckheim and do the following: Extracting the original sounds: - Copy sound.dat and unpack.exe into same folder. - Go to DOS prompt and switch to the folder. - Type "unpack sound.dat" - The original wavs are extracted into the folder, and you can then rename or modify them.

After reading all hints from the others: Get the sound from my site and try to squeeze it into GPL:)) Tell me if it worked, I am not such a good "unpacker/packer", kinda chicken when it comes down to fiddling with *.dat's ...... but if u succeed, I might try too :) cya Maaki -- ________________________________ Check out my home once in a while: http://www.maaki.de.vu ........still a lot of work to be done ________________________________

Maaki, I don't know how to do that, but I sure wish someone would. That recording is the best reproduction of a Ferrari that I ever heard. It almost sounds better than live. Maybe you could pick out one of the best small segments of that recording and offer that as well - the full d/l took around an hour for me - but it was worth it! chris Markus Stiepel wrote:
