Nice cars Mclaren. Do you get to drive em?
They are unfortunately, not mine. I'm just proving my point that I have had the chance to see the cars on & off the track.

The RGT is long gone, and unfortunately, that blue RGT will be too just like so many RUFs that have passed through. Sadly, they may also be the last as the dealer no longer represents the brand in the US.
A Yellowbird & BTR are the only cars the dealer keeps in circulation.
Just out of curiousity, do you work there at the RUF Auto Center? Just noticed you mentioned your office and thought "wow, what a lucky guy".
By office, I meant my home office. I apologize for the confusion, though I wish.
That wasn't so hard, was it? Now, about those videos... :sly:
If I can ever find them, I will post them.

You can hear the sound a bit between 2:50 and 3:50 with the volume up in the video above. A high pitched type wail.

A bit like this :)

I'm with you... I've seen and heard them in person as well. Starting up, Idling, and on the track. Naturally, I have no video footage of my own (other than my own track footage, but nothing with great quality sound... mostly wind and my car's engine), but have some photos we shot:

That Zonda almost gets the balance right (for me) between howl and snarl. Good job Pagani! 👍

I can't really hear much detail in the GT5 demo vid, but, whilst at first I thought it was a recycled GT4 sound, I hear now that it is "new". I can definitely tell, though, that the noise of bouncing off the rev limiter is well done, still missing "overrun" of course.

I look forward to Alba's videos :D
 
Just came here to repost Alex p's Zonda video but I see we already have it here!

Wow. I can barely hear it but it sounds very new and fresh for GT. I've been pretty hard on PD about sound but it seems there's a new sound engine in this latest build. Looking forward to alba's vids too... :D :D
 
I'm hoping to hear the Ford Mark IV to sound absolutely ridiculously frightening and so loud and beastly that it would scare the living daylights out of any living organism

C'mon alba!

Somehow I doubt that coming from a game...let alone even a proper recording of the real thing... if you want it loud just play it on a PA, loud.....

Nice shots. 👍
You'll have to tell who I need to get in contact with to take photos "out on the track" at MSR. :)
 
I don't understand how copying NFS Shift will make it loud. I turn my speakers / telly / amp up if I want it loud. I prefer Shift to be quiet - it's a bit annoying.
 
Adjusting down the relative volume of opponent cars and sound effects would make it louder. This should be the best choice for people with sounds system with a limited dynamic range or can't play the game at very loud volume settings.

In GT5TT there was a sound option setting that tuned this effect, if I remember correctly. The lower the setting was (default = minimum), the greater were surrounding sounds adjusted to give the impression of loudness of the player's car, lowering the sound processing engine dynamic range.
The maximum setting set all sounds at a realistic relative loudness one between each other, but with this the player was forced to play the game at a very loud (realistic) sound volume in order to hear sounds as intended (due to the high dynamic range).

The middle setting was a balance between the two extremes, and best for people who played the game with good headphones or with home theater systems at an average sound volume.

I'm not sure if I explained it correctly, I hope it's clear.
 
Really interesting Akira, I didn't know anything about that. I am still hanging on the edge of my seat for Alba's sound uploads...

Actually Prologue has it too. I'm playing on the "Large theatre" setting eventhough my system isn't that large. It just makes it more realistic.
 
I cannot wait!! The Pagani Zonda and also the Citroën C4 WRC car sounds great! Just amazing how much this game has improved. Thanks for the video. ;)
 
Posted this in the general discussion thread, but I guess it is also relevant here:

The sounds in the polish GT video were highly distorted and therefore hardly reflect the actual sound quality of the demo. These distortions will make the cars sound much more rough and agressive.

That said, I can only warn to base your judgement on those videos. I rather recommend to wait for the video uploads announced for tomorrow. These should give us a more realistic impression.
