Just a casual discussion on some of the car sounds that need attention. No bashing or negative remarks.
My list:
SLS
P1
F-type
LaFerrari
F40
2007 Shelby GT500
Many others, but I’d like to keep this limited for now. Please mention your list. Hopefully T10 will improve some if not all in subsequent content updates.
The F40 and 2007 GT500 sound spot on, however the P1, GT40 MK2 and Ford Focus RS need updating sound wise
Hmm, The F40 has slightly goofy downshifting sounds and the visceral depth and detail you have in FM5, that bark to the exhaust sound, is gone. Some of FM4’s sounds may have been loud and distorted, but not F5 - those were 100% spot on, finely balanced and rich with detail, though some cars were a but mute from first-person views: Evo 10 or Cam ZL1. Anyway, that’s a bit off-topic. The F40 needs to have more detail in pitch and tone variation that’s all, particularly on downshifts.
There are a number of cars in the game unfortunately, that sound too “whiny”, the LaF being one of them. Many of these cars sounded very ferocious and commanding in F5, but the detail has been lost.
Can you give more examples of specific cars you feel have become too whiny or have “forced” engine sounds? Again, I’m going to requote mine: the F-type and SLS come to mind. I hope to see that ‘synthesized’ sound gone for all cars, eventually. Even the ZR1 sounds somewhat forced to me, compared to the real-life ZR1 and the F5 version. In it’s own, it is okay, but then again you wonder, where did all that additional detail, bark and raspiness in the notes go? I will say again and again: F5’s sound engineering was second to none, and it would have been a real treat to see F6 use that as a base while moving forward with improvements and refinements.
Can-am cars, imo too whiney.
