HTC could we have more exterior sounds?
« on: July 26, 2001, 10:38:00 PM »
It would be nice to hear several outside type of sounds.

Enemy planes gunfire.

(Most pilots ive read said you can hear enemy guns in ur fighter)

Explosions of enemy planes.

Engines.

Doppler effect on flyby of a plane. Im not sure if you could hear this in the air, but certainly from GV.

Engine noises and dopller shift when in tower.

Maybe a few others I cant remember now.


Is this techinally possible or harder to do than it seems?

The one comment I've read about pilots that transitioned from piston fighters to jets was how quiet the jet was compared to the piston jobs.

While flying my Comanche or in a Cessna I don't hear the plane on the adjacent runway taking off unless it's a F16 or similar plane. When I am landing and those F16's are landing on the parallel runway I can't hear them as they fly past less than 1000' away. Even at idle their engines are far louder than my O360 Lycoming.

I can't beleive ANY pilot would say he could hear the guns of another plane firing from 300 to 1000 yards away while the unmuffled short exhaust stacks are blasting within 4 to 6 feet of his cockpit. The 100+ decibles of his own exhaust (outside the cockpit) would drown out the report of another planes guns.  :eek:
