LOL, i feel sorry for the people who would have to do that, 500rpm increments for every one of the 700 cars?...LOL. plus the difference in upgrades.. oh dear.... And then theres the touring cars, some of which rev up to 16k rpm... i think the programmers would get to them and give a big *sigh*

There are a few like that, yes, and those are the ones that sound better. The Shelby Cobra 427, for example.. if you rev up slowly, you can clearly hear when it changes from one sound to another. That sort of cross-fading is what the really good-sounding games use. I think the trick is to pack as many samples as you can into it. Record the car at 500rpm increments, and use them all. It's the only way to really make them sound real.

You hit the nail on the head back there about the speeded-up sound. That's what I've been trying to say all along, that they use a mathematical juggling of those sounds to produce the in-game engine sounds instead of analog recording...

It's interesting, though, the Shelby sounds good, I kind of like the pastiche of sounds they use for the 300zx, but some of the cars end up just sounding like zippers... not enough differing samples pasted together to make a cohesive and real sounding engine.

But if you say TOCA can do it, I hope PD is listening to the competition... :(
 
GTR has some pretty awesome sound effects too. Someone mentioned the video clip of the M3 GTR going around the 'Ring? That's what it sounds like, complete with the notchy gearbox sounds, the dirty tranny whine, and that raw engine note :eek:
 
Somehow we wandered off into sound from the original attention to detail statement.

The one the impressed me is the RX-7 Bathurst, which IRL is height adjustable with the stock suspension. Look at the GT4 suspension settings if you still have the stock suspension and amazingly you can adjust the height within the same small range which can be done on the real car.

99.9% of the people, even those playing GT4, wouldn't know that that adjustment was even available, but there it is!

Trust me u have to see it AND HEAR IT, If gt5 can sound like that, ill be in total heaven :dopey: . Search google for it.
 
A mistake in detail maybe: on a road sign on the mulsanne straight, there is written "Las Rochères". I think this has to be "Les Rochères".
 
I noticed one of my cars, I forget which one it was, had it winsheild wiper straight up. What would be the point of that?

Damn... that IS a good find! I bought the Bathurst edition because the name sounded cool, but I never realized... going to check this out later!
 
If you watch the mirrors on the hood of th Mazda 110 LS(?), there's no reflection in them in the above-car view. There is reflection in the third-person-view.
 
STi prodrive has a VCD as stock, too... You guys have me raiding my garage looking for new stuff now! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
