External engine sounds are no longer heard when your engine is running.

Can't i hear an external airplane engine sound when it is 100 yrds far and my throttle is cut or low, or my head is turned?

I think that this is a better compromise:

Or not?

What game was that?

Flight dynamics seemed OK, but didn't see reference to what it was.

No, your engine would entirely drown out any other, even at an idle.

This change was to stop people from making their engine noise silent so they could hear other's engines.

I understand why you can't hear other engines when your engine is on. But the way they made it now you can't hear other engines when your engine is off.

Frankly this is another wish answered. Lulu is correct and you can verify it by watching any number of youtube videos recorded in the cockpit of P40s P63s Spits P51s B29s and B17s. I hadnt tried turning my engine off. Sounds still play fine in film viewer.

You can still hear gun fire.

The new 16" turret sound on the cruiser needs to be removed though. That will drive you away from the cruiser. Its just annoying and completely inaccurate.

This sounds pretty good too.

Please help me understand. What you are saying is that in real life when you are dogfighting a Bf-109K4, stall fighting so less then 100m's you would not hear the K4s engine screaming to get that last meter of altitude? Are you sure?

If that is accurate then there it is. I've never ridden in one of these high performance birds in real life so don't know though find it hard to believe we couldn't hear them. I will trust what others say but wonder...

I wish HTC would put an Arena Message up for when people hopped in to the MA's they'd know right away of the issue.  If I had $1 for everytime I've explained that since the new version I would have paid for a years worth of AH subscription.

What ever game it is I like the modeling for the P-51D. It does not seem to fly like a dump truck.

It doesn't fly like one in AH.

It does if you don't know how to fly it. 

<---- not good in a pony, but seen some stuff a few times that made him say "wow."

From pilots that actually have flown these, yes that is true. The engine in front of you is so loud you can't hear anything else. Speed isn't a factor. You're sitting behind a 2000hp behemoth in most cases.

Try sitting in your car and revving the engine like you're going to drag race, peg the RPM... Now try to hear anything else BUT that. I think that may be a good analogy.
