Sound Balance

[Biggles]

I'm really finding the racing experience very compromised by the overwhelming sound from the OTHER cars. It makes it almost impossible to hear your own engine in traffic & makes judging when to shift very difficult. Has this been addressed at all in the recent-not-yet-available-in-N.A. patches?

I absolutely agree, here were my comments from another thread (I think my suggestion in bold solves the problem):

Could we PLEASE have a louder car noise for the external views? The most exciting experience, when you first sit in a supercar, is the incredible sound when you depress the accelerator. And the way it literally ROARS at the higher revs. You don't get this with FC, nor with GT5P. When you floor it, you should get a huge broad smile across your face, and the sound coming out of the engine should be matched with vibrations through the FFB (you do get this already). I think this would take a minimal amount of work, but would have significant benefits.

Here's an idea - give YOUR engine sound its own slider in the Sound menu, meaning you can make your car louder relative to the other cars. This would go a long way to sorting the issue. And make the higher revs ROAR!

I want to sit at my G25, turn on my subwoofer, depress the accelerator pedal and feel the room shake.

Oh, last thing... The gear change sounds can't be right. I've driven an F360, I've watched the in-car videos, gear changes just don't sound like that.

I agre

It should sound like this when driving with the cockpitview

But I think the gear change sound is right, I am no expert though, but you can hear it too in this video.

I don't hear the gear cruching sounds in the cocokpit view...?
