    Hello
    I am using the Formula SimRacing mod installed via workshop and I am really struggling to set the audio right for opponents car.

    I can barely hear opponent engines. I tried to set opponent volume ratio to 100% and player to 35% but still it does not seam to work properly.
    When watching a replay instead I can hear all the sounds properly.
    What I am doing wrong?

    Do you had this problem before the last update?
    They implemented a damping-factor for driving cameras that is set to 0.3 for default and is mod dependent.
    For me this means, that i have to set the opponent-volume to the same level as mine or a bit higher.
    But 100 to 35 is a "bit" much, what mod are you using?

    Actually I had the opposite issue. I cound not hear my own engine before.
    The mod is Formula SimRacing mod downloaded from steam.
    Can this dumping-factor be modified?

    Iam not sure, but i think its up to the modder to get this setting right.
    Imo we would need a simple and mod-dependent slider to do that by ourselfes.
    The concept behind it is good for users of the swingman camera, but it makes no sense if you have to use such different values.
    Unfortunately i dont have this mod downloaded, maybe someone else could test it?

    PS.: "Actually I had the opposite issue. I cound not hear my own engine before."
    I used different settings before this update too, more like 100% for me and 50-80% for the other cars.

    I have checked even with enduseries mode and the sound is screwed. I have deleted r factor 2 from the hard disk and I will try to re-install it.
    I have 100 hours in this game but is 95% of that triying to set FFB,FOW, offline races and video settings..
    What a nightmare

    I think there is now a default damping factor for all cars in the game, and the only way to override it is to manually add a new value into the mod and repack the mod.

    Re-installed and the issue is there anyway.
    Than I tried the gt3 pack which is std and the audio is fine.
    So yes, the mods audio is screwed

    yes in 1110 i cant hear opponents except their exhaust sound when they re next to me, their sound is very low even after i increased opponent volume to 100%

    is that damping factor inside the json file to revert it to previous value? something else i noticed is , just to try another mod i loaded f1 1988 cars and volume is normal now so it seems they have implemented some sort of car sound loudness normalising (bringing it to same levels), since f1 1988 didnt have any updates it should be pretty loud in comparison with any mod
