    Does anybody know where the sound file(s) for a car are located? Id like to delete one to then verify files via steam and redownload it to see if that changes anything but i havent been able to find the file(s)

    I think Steam checks contents of the files, so if a file is different than what it should be (corrupted, for example) then it will be downloaded again.

    If thats the case then it looks like there isnt anything wrong with my files. But i find it hard to believe that the behaviour is as intended or nobody else has mentioned this before. In the 720s gt3 the volume is extremely low for some parts of the track and normal on others, the difference being way too big for it to just be some reverb or whatever. Maybe @Anthony Monteil can help on this (i could upload a video in the evening and post my sound settings if that helps)

    What track, for example? I might check it myself.
    Renaming Simbin folder doesn't help?

    Last time i tried it on spa gp but its happened whenever ive driven it anywhere (which to be fair hasnt been often but i think interlagos and hockenheim gp were among the other tracks ive tried)
    Havent tried that yet, will give it a go later

    Well just recorded a short clip, when opening that file from the file explorer you can still hear it, once its uploaded to youtube you no longer can. So heres a phone recording of the recorded clip :D

    Sounds goes very quiet when entering the bus stop chicane and goes back to normal right around eau rouge, then stays normal for the rest of the lap.
    Also just did a couple laps around donington gp, hockenheim gp and interlagos. Didnt really notice anything on donington, the other two definitely suffered from the same that happens on spa. Looking at where on track it typically occurs it could be related to the walls/grandstands being closer but ive never noticed anything like this in any other car

    Same for me. Spa GP, around pit entry and pit exit there are issues with the sound. Driving out of the pits also has a problem with reverb.

    Try changing reverb in settings, maybe that will serve as a workaround.

    Yeah, that's strange... It's not the most popular car, but some people do drive it anyway.

    I noticed the same phenomenon at Bathurst with this car.

    Here's mine. Don't think I ever changed those. Gotta try resetting it to default in case something changed since then.
