** High Gear GPL SoundPack **

For his new Racer's Tip, Tom Pabst has made a GPL SoundPack, which will be updated regularely. It should help you drive faster: "How can my sound files make me fast? Come on....it's just a little 'ear candy'.....not 'go fast' food! This may be one of the single most important "changes" to make in your GPL files that will make you much, much, much faster at all race tracks...with any setup and in any race car!" Read the new Racer's Tip and download the files from http://www.simracingnews.com Enjoy! -- Kenneth Verburg Webmaster/Editor-in-chief High Gear http://www.simracingnews.com

These sounds are awesome! Thanks, guys. I won't get into the debate about whether or not a sound pack can improve one's times but I have to say that, after my initial experience with these sounds, I'm a believer.

Hey!! I thought to myself..... Of course sounds can't make me any faster, but i might listen to something a bit different for a while, gear shift clunk, dirt hitting the tub, gearbox whine, why not?? i thought....... well i went from never hitting the 1:05's at the Glen, to getting a 1:05 after seven laps with the new sound.dat file........ huh!....... noowaaay.... but, it's true..... Even if i hadn't cracked my P/B....(and i'm not saying it WAS the new sounds) they sound brilliant anyway Dontcha just luv these people who go out of their way to help others achieve GPL Nirvana....... Well a BIG THANX to all those who put aside their time to write patches,programs, create files etc.... BTW whoever thought of the Yellow dot squash ball technique, get's my undying gratitude too :O) CYA on the track........... Davey_Willo

True , but the Ferrari sounds like a Japanese Motorcycle, I rather be 0,5 sec slower , the sound is half the experience .

I also have downloaded and installed the sounds. They are awesome! However, I did do a bit of tweaking to them.

Yeah, I've tried different GPL sounds before and I'm not gonna trade off that Ferrari wail either! All due respect to the excellent High Gear site and Mr Pabst but only Chapman's wobbly reinvented the wheel. :-) However for the rest of us tweakless GPL owners against superfluous fiddlement who would like to research tuned GPL sound consider a post from a gent named Dave whose info i've cut and pasted and pirated: now, but I wanted them to sound a little more "wound out." So in the... hmm, I'm going off memory here since I'm not on my conputer at the moment, in the APP.INI (or one of the .INIs) I think there is parameter called "Sample RPM=XXX.XXXX." This changes the "base" RPM at which the sound is sampled. I think GPL uses 5200.000000 or something like that. Change it to a lower number and it will solve your dilemma! Basically the sample is used to match the sound at say 5000 RPM. If you make the sample match at a lower RPM, say 4000, then you are taking that same pitch and moving it DOWN the rev band. I have mine at 4800.000000 or something like that. It makes the engine higher-pitched so I am less likely to blow the engine just by sound. In fact, I had a different APP.INI in once and did not make the change. I kept blowing motors and couldn't figure out why. Then I watched the tach and realized that I was blowing them because the sound wasn't "tweaked" like i had before. I was using the default, which had a lower pitch. Play with that setting and see what sounds best! Let me know what you find out. -_Dave<<<< My Eagle sounds like it's in a big hurry now! Happy Motoring

I got this sound pack which I have been playing with for a few hours now. My conclusion is that the individual sounds are very good, but at levels which I find a little annoying. That 'skid' sound gets on my nerves after a while, an some of the engine sounds are a little thin. The solution I found was to put the individual sounds that I particularly liked directly into the current GPL Sound folder. Doing this on my system gave them less volume, keeping the engine sound more on top. But the best tweak is the advice about altering the 'app.ini.' file. This changes all those weedy little engine noises completely! The default figure is 5200.000000. Changing this down, say 5000.000000, gives a 'higher' sound, changing it up, say 5800.000000, gives a much fuller sound. Try it, you will hear the difference!! Steve
