    Let me start by saying R3E has the best sound in the business, period!

    The on-board sound are incredible, detailed and immersive. However, anyone that has been track-side as a spectator can tell you, the ground seems to shake as cars roar by. They can be down right scary at times.

    For this reason I ask the TV camera sound please be increased. I run a 5.1 system, I don't think this should be an issue on my end.

    Thank you and keep up the great work!

    Thank you for the nice words ;)

    About the TV cameras volume, we can't increase their volume much more because it's balanced with all the others cameras (internal + external) and the distance from the listener.

    Basically, if the car you watch in a replay would come near you, its volume would match any other external cam (like chasecam i.e), which is coherent to avoid some sudden volume increases. This is a way to protect the player's sound systems.

    The free cam feature also requires the volumes to be totally consistent between each game modes and the replays.

    I understand that you might need to play with your sound system volume when watching a replay, but this is the best we can do at the moment. Crank it up if your neighbours like it :D
