GTR2002 sounds -- AMAZING

Sorry to start yet ANOTHER GTR thread, but I don't think enough emphasis has been put on the quality of the sounds in this game. They are quite simply the best sounds I have ever experienced in ANY game, PERIOD. If you have a decent set of headphones, hook them up and turn up the volume -- a LOT. Now jump in the Viper or (my favorite) the Marcos. If a couple of laps listening to that doesn't get your heart racing, you are brain dead. The way they crackle, pop, and burble when you let off the gas, the sound at redline, it's just ART I tell ya. I am ***LOVING*** this game (I keep forgetting it's just a mod.) If turbos are your thing, spend a couple of laps listening to the turbo whine and the wastegate whoosh on the 993 Turbo. It brings back memories of my '86 Buick Grand National. Interestingly enough, the NGT cars don't sound nearly as good as the GT cars... -- __________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com __________________________

Sorry not to be annoying, but the wastegate is a valve which controlls the maximum boost of the turbo, the bypass/blow off valve is what vents excess boost while the throttle is closed. Downloading it now, cant wait! Luke -=87=- "Todd Walker" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Actually it is the other way around. The wastegate is the thing that releases the pressure when you drop the throttle, and the valve is set so that when the boost reaches a certain pressure, it opens the wastegate to keep it at a set boost value.

Sorry, re-read your post and figured I got the wrong valve. You were right ;-)

Agreed : ). I'm blown away by the sounds in general, but I agree with a couple of people who reckon that they've over-done the distortion on the Ferrari 360. It sounds great from the swingcam view, but from the in-car view it sounds like GPL on WinXP & SBLive after a Shift-R :(

...and how would you know how it sounds from swingman...?....;) AD "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:asgv4m$6l8r1$[email hidden]... > Agreed : ).

But really, who cares when we have the Viper and Marcos GT cars!!! :-) -- __________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com __________________________

I agree with Todd, the NGT sounds are only so so, but the GT cars are something else! Personal taste I guess... I am running Philips Rhythem Edge with 4 speakers... Todd Walker <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>...

Having watched the FIA (N)GT races live at Zolder last year, from the outside at least, that's how they sound. The distortion on the NGT Porsches is correct, because, believe me, if you stand trackside without ear protection, your ears will "clip"!! Jan. =---

I believe you when you say the sounds of the HGT cars are true to life -- I just personally like the sounds of the GT cars (Marcos and Viper in particular) much better :-) -- __________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com __________________________

Of course I meant NGT -- my fingers are sore from driving so much so I can't type ;-) -- __________________________ Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com __________________________

You're not a keyboarder, are you??? ;-)

I have been running F1 2k2 mods online for months(in small groups) Usually the Cart beta or the SSM sportscar mod(where EVERYONE wants to be Ron Fellows) Anyhow I just got an email from another Cart guy pointing out that F1 2k2 has a small chat function built in. Boy did I miss the boat. in your .plr folder is a small txt file with 9 lines of chat text you can display online. (just like the Papy sims) ctrl and 1 through 9 will display whichever line of text you choose. Now at least I can apologize when I club some unsuspecting Porche. dave henrie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
