I know I have done something dumb, but I cannot work out exactly what!!

downloaded the track and the Porsche 904 files from the race post and thought I would give it a spin around Norisring.

Ok ... select track in GTL...select car in GTL.... open Practice selected..... track loads.....look into garage and see what the current setup looks like.... jump in the car ready to exit the pit garage ......the nice man waves at me to go... and I am suddenly deaf!!!!!    no engine sounds. the car drives OK ( well it travels along the track and the gear changes work etc)

I can hear the wind, the tyres and any skidding noises, but I think I must have downloaded the early hybrid version of the 904. coz it is ghostly quiet!!!

I figure that I must have put the 2 download files in the right place or I would not have a track or car? so what about the noisy stuff? where has it gone?


any ideas guys?

[Wiltshire Tony]

Can you try any other car (not the Porsche 904) at the same track to see if it's a system/software setting problem or the car install.

Also check your engine volume setting under Options/Audio.

[EvilClive]

Had not thought to try that Tony.


So I loaded up the Mustang, figuring that if I cannot hear that then maybe I am deaf!    That Ford block came through load and clear, and what is even more strange is that I realised that had Porsche 904's on track as well and I could hear them from within the Mustang???

[Wiltshire Tony]

So there's nothing wrong with your system. I would delete the Porsche 904 folder and re-install.

Also check that you have this in your GTL folder

GameData/Sounds/Cars/Porsche_904

[EvilClive]

lol!!  just been doing that and tried it again. Straight download and install in the GTLegends directory.

Now I have the  904-4 with all sounds etc, but the 904-6 is still in ecology mode and silent........maybe a 3rd install will find the sound files?!!   i'll be back later 

[Wiltshire Tony]

Check my previous post re: sound folder.

If needs be download this and put into your GTL in the location as above https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6w79ajji07hxu/Porsche_904

I'm sure our German drivers will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this track features in their DTM series?

Never liked this short track   - there have been longer version in earlier stages:

Mainly known through Pedro Rodriguez' fatal crash back in 1971.

Hope I can find a suitable setup fot the 904.

Sorry for not getting back to you yesterday Tony (busy praccy for GPL race last night ).

All of those files are in my GTL location. I really am baffled as the 904-4 works and sounds fine and the 904-6 is graphically fine and it drives OK....but not a peep from the engine dept.

Maybe this evening I will just use the 904-4, which I guess is the slower of the 2 and try to beat the living crap out of the engine so that it is fast enough not to get lapped twice!!

[Wiltshire Tony]

Tis a head scratcher  

I don't think there's a performance issue between the two cars at this circuit.

[Erling G-P]

Very weird problem for sure.  Clive, have you tried the 904/6 on other tracks than Norisring ?

For me at least, the two cars are surprisingly close in performance.  A good lap in the 904/4 is around 1.04, with the fastest so far being 1.03.xx (can't remember exactly, and am at work so can't check). In the 904/6, a fast lap for me is 1:03.xx, with the fastest being 1.02.37.  Getting below 1.03 is very hard work for me.

Bill, thanks for the 904/4 setup. Had to tweak the gearing a little, as I was running out of revs down the start/finish straight, and I dialled in a little more brake pressure. Used this to set my above fastest time in the 904/4.

Cheers,
Erling

This is very useful info. I can now aim for a time with 1min and 0,3 seconds in it. I might just re-arrange the order a bit!

Hope to see you guys on track tonight.

[Wiltshire Tony]

I may be doubtful for tonight  :'(

Twanged a back muscle so sitting and working foot pedals may be too much. If I'm able I'll do at least one race, otherwise I'll turn up as a spectator.
