Hi guys!As in the last 5-6 years in the Codie forums, I open this thread again, to discuss the new engine sound of the new cars in the game. I hope that the developers of the audio stuff are also here like in the past and maybe get in touch with us here.Here are some videos based on the early versions of the game. Surely there will be some adjustments in the full game version.What are your opinions? Which engine sounds realistic? What should be improved until the release?https://youtu.be/jsLUeXHihhMhttps://youtu.be/deyJ7fE_BXYhttps://youtu.be/a0qAsU1Agd8

@issueskid13 The gearbox whine in the game seems to always stay at the same pitch, is this an intentional choice, or is there some kind of limitation?

I engage with polite people who are willing to discuss and offer constructive feedback. What I don't do is take arm chair critics comments seriously when people refer to our audio as "shit" or insist my team need sacking.

@Patteyh Yes, some of the videos that have been released do have work in progress audio in place.

@issueskid13 There is also another problem with the Engine Sound of F1 22 (though this could possibly be related to the car handling, and more precisely the Gear Ratios, more so than with the Engine Sound and Audio itself), which also existed in F1 2020 and F1 2021 and sadly was not fixed since then for whatever reason:The gear ratio of 8th gear seems to be way too long!https://youtu.be/fq2-2Iu_vq0From Gear 1 to 7, whenever you upshift between 11.5k rpm and or 12k rpm, you end up roughly on around 10.4k rpm to 10.5k rpm.But when you upshift from 7th Gear to 8th Gear, the rpm is way too low at only around 10k rpm...This makes the highest 8th gear sound too low revving (as it is in the game), and if compared to real life onboard footages, the rpm should actually be hovering around 10.5k rpm to 10.6k rpm after each consecutive upshift from Gear 1 to Gear 8!https://youtu.be/zTL4WOdp8xYPlease try to fix this for F1 22!!!

I believe @issueskid13 has moved over and already spoke to the method of audio capture used for the engine sounds.

@jaketa Pretty sure I heard content creators say these sounds are not final. There will be new sounds either at release or post launch

Thanks for your response and good to hearing from you! I’m really looking forward to hear the real new sounds then. You made a progress every year (despite 2019) that’s why I’m really confident, especially after last years sounds were great.

I recognised the Mercedes‘ engine has a different micro this year. This sound was first heard at McLaren but in Monaco also the Mercedes‘ had that kind of turbo whistle sound which reminds me to the LMP Cars.
it’s quite similar what they did with the Alpine sound since 2021.
Any Chance this will be in the game?

I don't understand why you use the same camera angle? try the follow camera for the real sound of the car.
They should sound like these below 🙂

Downshifting and low revs sounds is always terrible in F1 games.
