For example,I am driving ATCC 1988 with M3 and it works fine(other drivers have sierra's,holden's,nissan's) but when I take skyline they are all using skyline from all championships in 1988(no other cars on the track,just skylines)... :///

 

[Dusan Vukadinovic]

WTM Fastest car?????

I,ve just done a acceleration and top speed test and here,s what I found.
I used Le Mans Sarth 1977 for obvious reasons,and each car came out the garage with the set up unchanged apart from the gear ratios.Every car had only one click extra to lengthen the ratios apart from the Mustang Holden and Rover which all had two clicks extra.
O.K. on leaving the pits on full throttle in first (no slipping the clutch ) I checked my speed at the first dunlop bridge, and then went onto the mighty Mulsanne straight to see what each car would do flat out,
here,s the results.

Dunlop Bridge

M3 127 mph
Alfa 127 mph
M5 129 mph
Mustang 136 mph
Cosworth 132 mph
Holden 137 mph
Mercedes 129 mph
Nissan 134 mph
Rover 131 mph
Toyota 130 mph
Volvo 130 mph

Top Speed

M3 159 mph
Alfa 163 mph
M5 166 mph
Mustang 180 mph
Cosworth 165 mph
Holden 181 mph
Mercedes 161 mph
Nissan 167 mph
Rover 169 mph
Toyota 164 mph
Volvo 161 mph

I have just one issue with the upgrade to 2.8 from 2.5..

What happened to that Holden's sounds? I remember driving it just for how crazy it sounded. Best sounding car in rFactor and then after the update it just sounds flat.

I tried overwriting all the files in "rf\gamedata\sounds\tcl" with my 2.5 sounds from the old zip but no luck. Is there some other file I need to change and will it affect my ability to join servers!

Here is the old sound.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't know how to get the 2.5 sounds working, but they shouldn't cause mismatches when racing online if you do

 

[Ryan Callan]

Well it didn't sound realistic before, hence why it changed

That still doesn't change the fact I would like the old one's back. If it's possible. I'd have figured changing out the entire Sounds folder would do the trick.

 

[Ryan Callan]

This contains some old sounds for TCL - some of them still used in TM. The old Holden sounds are in there and, no, no mismatch - you need to have the SFX files point to the correct sounds.

[Erik Tveit]

Oh, when we're about sounds. When you created the video "The Sounds Of World Touring Masters" Was that with the old soundpack that you linked here, or the new that are in the 2,8?

 

[Ryan Callan]

2.8

 

[Toby Davis]

I prefer the new sounds tbh. The M3 is much better for sure

Thanks for the link. I will give it a go.

I agree with all the changes except for the holden.

 

[Ryan Callan]

The 2.8 sounds are the most realistic we've had - some cars just don't sound as good as we would like them to of course.
