Far from perfection: Diesel related

[kazuyam]

Why do the R10 and the 908 backfire? Or do they have broken air filters?
Because diesel engines can not backfire if they are operating normally.
In other words, it's just not authentic and realistic, if the R10 and 908 backfire as hell.

I heard a R10 in real and yes it can be pretty load to my surprise, even though that DTM Audis are much loader with there gasoline engines, but that's OK, I'm fine with the sound except for the backfire sound and visual effect.

I doubt that PD wants to change this or is even aware that they made a mistake here.

It real life they sound like electric cars I thought, strange to hear something so powerful so quiet

Yeah and they don't rev to 7,000 rpm. The mileage is also way off.

Good job PD, good job....

So it's exactly as in the last Le Mans demo.
Remember? We all thought that was because it had a 'placeholder' engine.

maybe they got the sound for a race modified C6 and Camaro mixed up with the R10 and 908? R10 was a bit louder than i remember hearing, sounded like a electric golf cart coming by while the C6R sounded like a beast.

At least it doesn't sound like a gasoline powered prototype.
