Correct 3D engine sounds.

[olds442]

Its rather silly flying a buff or a P39 and hearing the engine sound come from the front... What exactly is so hard about 3D engine sounds?

olds i hear the sound come from the right direction.

Im talking about your own engine not outside ones. Great example is p39 or a GV

Move your speakers.

How about just fix them and not go all duct tape style on it

Headset here. Sounds fine.

as far as I know, aces high only uses 2 channels anyway.. there is no front or rear.

No aces high can use 7.1

No they don't. The engine sounds are mapped to the pilot's head. Also I use headphones as well that happen to be 7.1

its sounds ok if you're in a single engine aircraft and use mono sounds, but just doesnt work for multiple engine aircraft. especially with engine damage/engine off on one wing.

That was a nice and polite way to say that olds.

Aces High uses one channel. Sounds should be mono. DirectX for Windows is what creates the 3D position and makes the game sound like stereo, 5.1, 7.1, or what have you. If you use stereo sounds as input then that screws everything up. I'm not absolutely sure, because I think you would have to know how the game is designed, but I think sounds are preset for each model with an impulse location for guns, engines, turrets, and so on. But, if you do not use mono sounds then the position starts to get a little confusing, especially one you have a high speed merge involved and Doppler effects kick in. DirectX could certainly dial back on the Doppler, but it is possible to adjust for DirectX the way it is. I think what is confusing the situation even more is using stereo sounds, with 5.1 speakers, or worse yet 7.1. That is like going into a canyon situation, screaming for help, and then following the echo for a way out.

As per Dale himself says stereo will work via a pm to him

Sorry my post confused you. I was talking about mine, not yours. 

[RTHolmes]

your engine sounds are also centered on the pilot's head not the engine, like everybody else.
