Since the Beta has us all ga ga over sounds...can we add?

[LePaul]

Thought of a few that would be cool to implement....

*  Whoosh of air as you bail out and free fall to earth

*  Sound of ripcord and parachute being deployed

*  Thunderous crunch/splat/"Ooooof" sound of not opening up the chute in time  

*  Thud of landing successfully in chute

*  Background sounds on CV, saw a few WW2 clips on the Wings channel other night, things like "Clear the flight deck" or associated gargle

*  Yelling "Clear the Prop" as the engines fire up...perhaps canopy closing sounds, etc....

Anyways, just some ideas....slow day here at work and was ICQing with a friend some things we thought would be cool to add.

Is it possible to have different external engine sounds for the different planes? Havn't looked into that yet.

[Karnak]

So far as I can tell the external sounds use the same wav file that a given aircraft uses, but modify it for position and movement.

All the aircraft that I've heard fly by on my system sound different.

I don't like the first idea in this thread.  Sonds like that get SO repetitive when they occur every time you start the engine or the like.

[LePaul]

Bah.....not me...heck I still laugh my bellybutton off in Falcon 4 when you fly into another guys chute and hear that scream!

[Greese]

Hmm.  I like the idea of external sounds, it would really add entertainment, and I'm all for it, but realistically, once inside the cockpit with the engine fired up, there was not a lot that could be heard outside.
