If I can get it working right this will go away for anyone that has my sound pack loaded. Big if at the moment, but it's coming.

Hearing other vehicles over your own, or shutting down your engine to be quiet to others?

Diving aircraft will always make some sound. Unfortunately, moving really, really fast near the ground doesn't seem to work as it does in the real world, but we take what we can, right?

Isn't the actual exploit having the ability to quiet the sound of your own engine to the point of being able to hear the others approach?

If Hitech wants to change that it's up to him. Right now you can change your internal sound levels, but you cannot change external sound levels.

If you don't like that someone hears you coming then it's the same thing as avoiding fights. You will get a better fight if you can press the attack on the guy with his internal sounds turned down (maybe). If all you want is the one pass kill, then you shouldn't let it bother you. What's the difference between that and being seen?

Personally I think being able to hear a guy coming in on you from half a mile out over your own engine is silly and gamey AF.  May as well have a big red flashing icon over your gunsight going "THREAT DETECTED".  That's why I don't particularly have a problem with people killing their engine if they're bouncing someone.  YMMV, and that's all right.

Get better SA.
Its been a thing since I joined AH back in AH 1 days.
I loved to hear someone turn off their engine or see one diving in on me without it on. That means they're bleeding E like a sieve. Then you E fight them. Win every time.

Hey Bipolar, how have you been?

All other engine sounds should be muted while yours is running.
There, problem solved.

With sounds grouped you could have all the engine sound levels on the same slider.

I think that if every external engine sound has a referenced event attached to speed by default then the airplane will never be silent. The problem is that your engine may always make more noise anyway, so . . . I just don't understand why someone would want to fly around in silence.

Afraid not - not on any such forum (Sig Sauer, I presume?)

I know you from somewhere other than here.  Same icon and everything.   (Yeah, Sig Sauer.)

That particular icon is a selfie taken from the back seat of either a T-38 or a QF-4 (most likely QF-4) from shortly before my retirement.  Since the visor is down and the helmet/mask is standard USAF equipment you've probably seen a very similar picture taken by someone else.  I know I've seen dozens of similar photos on Facebook, etc., and the only way I know it is me under there is because I took it.  It would have been much easier to recognize me in my normal aircraft, since I wore a headset rather than helmet, but that wouldn't be nearly as dramatic (and I'm not that handsome).

Other "competitive" games don't allow you to change specific environment noise volumes because while it's a nice feature, it is exploitable.

And also yeah shutting your engine should probably be more risky...

killing the engine in flight and restarting it is childish gaming crap that should be removed by making it impossible to air start an engine
