Ac needs a wider range of volume level for wind sounds....

Until you turn your head around. If the "Wind" goes directly to your ear. It is so Loud at 80 kph allready. Had this experience but without a helmet

Hmm? Isn't all cool hear? I mean ther is no swearing or anything like this.

 

I currently find the wind sound too loud, in my subwoofer. It almost drowns everything else out. I've actually turned it off.

 

Wear a helmet!

 

Here you go.
You're welcome

Edit: Don't forget that it's probably filmed with a Google glass. Audio quality isn't the best there is so the sound irl is still a bit different I guess.

 

another thing is that the engine should be way more agressive and natural in ac.my settings (2nd video) are of course miles away of beeing perfect but it makes me more "believe" that i drive fast than with the default wind/engine/overall sounds.

here another engine/wind example where the mic is more attached inside the car. (yes its not perfect)




(watch loud at 1.25min )

 

monza is also a very high speed track and an extreme example also.
so here is nuerbuerg


yes its not perfect and yes its not a hotlap

 

I would figure that you need proper and consistent recordings to set the volume of all sorts of audio sources right.

You could, for instance, mount a high quality microphone in the helmet (for cars in which you wear a helmet), or near your head (for cars in which you don't wear a helmet). Then you would make recordings for a specific car, at different speeds, on different sections of the track. That should give you the right tools to set the volume levels correctly afterwards.

The problem is that none of the videos that were posted have the right audio gear in the right position (obviously the wind sounds will be too loud when recorded by microphones that are exposed to the air). Debating whether wind volumes should be louder or not based on these videos is nothing more than speculation I think. Honestly, I can't even comment on the volume being too silent or not, because I have never driven such a car...

We could perhaps assume that Kunos is doing all the testing that is needed while they're working on the new sound system

 

I have never been in an open wheel car before, so I cannot comment on that. I do ride a motorcycle though. For me any speed past ~50-70 mph (depending on the direction of the winds) and I cannot hear my bike. I should be wearing ear protection on longer rides because by the end my ears are ringing.

If I ride into the wind and going ~80 mph then it feels like my ears are going to blow out. I have actually had to slow down on windy days because of how loud it was going into the wind.

Cars are a different story :] The only one I can help out with is the GTR that we will be getting soon (TM). I have taken that one around a track and I definitely remember what it sounds like.

PS: Motorcycle + Bridge + San Francisco crosswinds = scary
Having to lean like you are turning, but still going straight is pretty trippy.

 

finally the discussion i wanted. thank you guys.
yes its very hard to get the sound recordings right.
and scary is a very good point to mention.because i wanna get more of that feeling "being inside a racecar" und thinking/feeling that i drive really fast.and ac lacks in that component right now.dont get me wrong i love ac and the physics but there is still something missing about the feel and sense of speed in that sim. i hope kunos will improve that .
i am not an expert but i think the key components are sound/head movement and then maybe the graphics engine itself.

for example in rfactor2 i have a better and immersive speed feeling (just speed not phsysics!) in that old f1 car than in ac (and ofc its still not perfect, just better)
