Help For Luthier

Now that we know the Multiplayer Sound fix is going to be a long way off, could we not offer Luthier some help, its clear that his last sound man had no idea what he was doing, yet we have several talanted guys in these forums who have already done some tremendous work. Even when Luthier reworks the sounds there is no gaurantee that they will be any good, and lets be honest OLeg's and Luthiers track record on sounds is somewhat sketchy.

Come on Luthier use some of the tremendous talant we have here these guys im sure will be more than willing to help and wont be looking to trouser any cash, its a 'no brainer' mate.

Well..i would hope they would at least allow us to use the 3rd party sound as a stop gap until the "new sound" is ready.

Anyone know if the third party sound cuts out online?

Think the problem is more that steam automatically bans who ever uses them online.

Or so i understand it.

I don't hate the sound as much as some do but I must admit it could be a lot better. Now that the team have to start from scratch they might as well do the right thing and give us some engine sounds that satisfy even the most critical of us.

However I'm pessimistic and I'm going to have to agree with Tree that given their track record, the likelihood of them taking this opportunity and making something positive out of it is probably very unlikely.

What track records that ?

A secure anti cheat sound generation engine that stopped online hackers using sounds as radar !!!

Alpha do you mean copyright infringement of the actual engine sounds? i.e Rolls Royce suing because of a merlin engine sound?

The part I have highlighted in the quote means the original source of the mod sounds you advocate.

These are often from other sims/games.

It doesn't negate the fact, however, that there are talented fellows within the community who could help the team in their efforts.

Thank you for injecting a dose of reality into the sound debate.
