Speed of Sound...

[saggs]

Not knowing anything about game programming I don't even know if this is possible.

But I think it would be neat to have the speed of sound somehow modeled in the game.  

Not a big deal at all, it just kinda bugs me when I see shells landing 1/2 mile or more away and the sound is instantaneous.


EDIT: also, I know it's been covered before but I'd like to see wind in the MA too.

if you are in an airplane you most likely won't hear them at all.  same for other planes, bullets,et.

Offline set some ground level wind and try a few takeoffs and landings in various directions.

cross wind landings are great fun, in a game at least.

I've always considered wind one of those "hey that's nifty" features that quickly get annoying once the novelty wear's off, sort of like night time.

i love wind in SEA AvA setups. its just more of a challenge to fight while up against the enemy

not in an airplane, but in an 8" gun (TG or land-based) 10k from your target? you'd hear it, alright... or...dont ask why, but Vehicle with engine off?

[LLogann]

Correct!  Only bystanders can hear the boom.

But it would make a non negligible difference in ground fights, at least when your engine's off.

This is one of things that is on my list, that I never seem to get to.

They're more fine in real life. 

[LLogann]

My bad.... i totally misunderstood the topic.

+1 for time lapse sound.

Would love to try it! Only thing I have landed in real life are gliders and there was no runway
