Installed it on my Vista system last year and the sound is atrocious. As the throttle is revved it sounds like someone playing scales on a flute superimposed, at the same volume, over the engine sound.</p> <p>I had the same problem, with a different sim, years ago in XP and the solution was to lower the sound acceleration. Since Vista has no acceleration, that isn't an option.</p> <p>(FWIW, the developers apparently haven't monitored their forums in a couple of years; messages posted at a couple of race sim forums have elicited no response.) </p>
