Wind Noise Sound Mod – Released

Posted on June 10th, 2008 in GTR2

Wasser has put together a sound fix for GTR2 that adds wind-noise to the external sounds of cars. This makes watching replays a lot more realistic, especially when driving road cars.

Below is a comparison video for you to watch and decide whether you like the new sound effects or not. If you hit “Read More”, you can find full instructions on how to use this mod.

Add: Funk! points out that this mod works with rFactor (and probably any other ISI-based sim) too.

Download Wind Noise Sound Mod Here

How to use:

Copy into “GTR2\Gamedata\Sounds” and open the .aud file of desired car and do the following changes:

// ROAD SURFACE SOUNDS (OUTSIDE)

VS_OUTSIDE_ROADNOISE_DRY=road_roll_ext.wav
VS_OUTSIDE_ROADNOISE_DRY=road_roll_ext_wet.wav

replace with:
VS_OUTSIDE_ROADNOISE_DRY=road_scrub_ext_mod.wav
VS_OUTSIDE_ROADNOISE_DRY=road_scrub_ext_wet_mod.wav

steve, in rF you use the .sfx files in the mod folder in Vehicles.

Let me say that this is not a wind MOD. This topic could be irritating to the people. It’s more the sound produced by the tires on the road I think. Road noise.

I would have to agree, it sounds a lot more like road noise than wind noise–not that it’s irritating exactly… and it’s only on replays.

It is tire noise. It is true that you can hear it very far, even before the engine noise.
