    Hello everyone!
    A few months ago i bought the DTM 2013 pack specifically for the the BMW M3. After taking it out a couple of times i have noticed, that the sound (at least in my humble opinion) is not on par with the Audi/Merc.
    To me the engine-sound in cockpit- view is too " artificial " and soft compared to its real life counterpart.
    To be fair, i have compared neither the Audi nor the Merc with real life samples but in game they sound way better than the M3.
    I however did not see anyone else mention this so maybe this is a just a "me" issue.
    Are there any plans to change the sound or will it stay as is?
    I am no sound-designer/engineer therefore i have no clue how difficult it would be to change something like that :)

    I wonder if the cockpit sounds are meant to represent the sound while wearing a helmet.

    I'd say the sound in this video is massively distorted.

    I don't think so. I can recall a couple discussions about sound and it was never mentioned that it's meant to be a sound with a helmet.

    That´s fair i guess. It might just be the distortion you mentioned but i still think that some of the bass tones are missing in game.
