Top man Ricco, So there is nothing I can do at the moment on my end? If I understand you correctly.

It was the 'other ways (for sound only)' I was after Max, cheers 

Hey Abigor, its you and me versus the world  . We'll have to wait to see if Ricco has any joy with his investigations.   Going back to my sound issues, I have watched some youtube again, specifically the Ducati 996 in GP Bikes, and it really does sound a lot better than mine, I have all the correct sounds but in the wrong order, is there a way I can maybe record and post a sound file from my game on the forum so you guys can hear what I mean, I think Hawk has described something similar, It just makes riding some of the addon bikes impossible because the sound is a very important part of the experience.

Abigor, Is your HD4000 on a windows PC? Are you having the graphics problems, or sound or both?
Ricco, Can you explain about the track exporter version, sorry I'm such a noob. Cheers guys

Hey Hawk, Unfortunately I don't have the Ducati any more, nor any bike come to that    Which is why I enjoy GP Bikes so much.  I am still convinced that the sound files are scrambled somehow, the more I listen to it in game, the more I am convinced it is not a quality problem, but something in the way the sounds are triggered that has gone t*ts up. I know it is unlikely, nobody else has reported this, but I will get to the bottom of it somehow. I just don't have the knowledge or experience of the voodoo involved in making my speakers go brap.

Thanks Max, all the other stuff has been tried, another gfx card is not an option, so I will just have to try to stay ahead of everyone (yeah right!!!) so I don't need to see their shadows. Thanks to everyone for trying to help.      Oh it would be interesting to see if there are any more HD4000 users out there, I feel so alone 

Victoria and Paul Ricard v0.9 work, Silverstone and Cadwell Park 12 don't work, with Cadwell probably the worst because it has other issues, like the track surface flashes black randomly

It happens on most of the addon tracks, but not all, Victoria and some others is perfect. It would be interesting if to see if anybody else notices it while using the HD4000 graphics chip.

I completely agree with you Max, But I don't think I am alone with the shadow problem, I have watched a few youtube videos in which the bikes had no shadows, so it looks to be a bit more common, It's just not everybody moans as much as me     Oh, and by all accounts the HD3000 and 4000 are poles apart in performance, but still not as efficient as a discrete card.
But as stated earlier, I have no choice at the moment, and am just trying to make the best of it, and to be honest, little foibles apart, I am more than impressed with it's capability's.
It's keeping me playing, and enjoying this superb sim.  Thanks again mate for your attention, and maybe I will see you on the track (with or without a shadow)   

I understand about the graphics card, but I don't really have a choice at the moment, but having said that it still manages to throw some pretty impressive polygones around at 1080p/100+ frame rate. But I have to agree that it is less than ideal. I will try to post a video soon. On the subject of sound, it is like I said, it seems to have all the files in place, but just not playing them in the right order. Idle seems fine, but when you rev it, it seems to put the wrong wave file at the wrong point, if you can imagine what I mean, and when you actually ride the thing, the revs are all over the place and some even played simultaneously. The worst offender is the Ducati 996, which is a shame because I actually owned one with the same Foggy paint scheme. Anyway, Thanks for your time Max, I will try to post a video.

I could of course, I'm just not sure how. If you could explain to a simpleton like me how to do it, I would be glad to, Max.

Ok, you're right, I know, In was just trying to see if anyone had found a trick to make my riding faultless, without having to do any work myself I guess I'll just have to put the miles in..... mmm  I wonder if I can find a god mode

I have the very latest graphics drivers on my pc, and like I say everything runs perfectly, it's just a little problem that takes a bit of the immersion away from the otherwise stunning sim. Probably the biggest pain is the sound being garbled on the addon bikes. Interestingly the 2 stroke bikes seem to be fine, I think I will just have to keep digging. Thanks for all your input guys.

Just to let you know that a fresh install didn't sort my problem. I did notice that the shadow of the bike re-appears when I go off track (Which I do a lot), it just seems to be on the actual racing surface there is a problem. Anyway, thanks for your time fellas.

Thanks guys, I'll give a fresh install a go and report back, oh Arvoss, I have no problem with the standard bikes and track. Thanks again.
