I have just done a fresh install of RBR2011 ; newbie, its great except that I dont have any pacenote callouts in english. I have changed the mulligatawny profile to english but nothing! Pacenotes work en francais though!
I suspect that you are not changing the language in the correct place.
Run the default RBR by launching from your original default RBR icon.
Select the Mulligatawny Profile
Scroll down to Options
Select Pacenotes
With your left / right arrow key, select the English flag. Refer to attached screenshot.
As you exit the Options screen, save the new Profile.
Now you should have English pacenotes.
If that is what you have been doing, and it still doesn't work, then you have someting seriously wrong.
Join the club. I downloaded RBR having watched Jimmy Broadbent's recent video, but my Co driver is in Hungarian, and I can't work out how to change it. Have selected the union jack/flag and saved profile, but Hungarian it is !!
The advice I have for that is make sure that your profile is saved after making changes. If that doesn't work then make sure you downloaded RBR using the RBR installer and downloaded the 1.02 patch. If that doesn't work then I don't know.
