GPL+Sound.dat+speed

6 posts by 6 people · 19 Dec 1998 - 21 Dec 1998

While I have been trying to solve a static problem with GPL, I have been experimenting with various sound.dat files. The interesting thing I have found is that with certain sound.dat files I seem to be faster. Not just a little faster either. I mean 1-2 secs faster. I drive with headphones and use the sound to tell me my shift points (usually). I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Does anyone know why this should happen? I know I try to drive consistently, but a 1-2 sec difference is very noticeable. BTW, I have kept my sound.dat that lets me drive fastest <G> It's an old Mea***er file, don't ask which one, I took it from an old backup I did of GPL.

For sure. I picked up 1-2 seconds a lap in my Ferrari when I got rid of the original sound an replaced it with the stock sound. Much clearer and quicker! Cheers! -- Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824

Is this for real, I ahve been working my but off to get down too 3:23s at Spa and I could have done it with a sound file change. Tho, I can get teh Ferrari within a few tenths of the Lotus at Watkins, running high 1:05s. Dave
