Title: Rift S FOV and loss of engine sounds
Post by: WpnX on March 23, 2020, 09:54:53 AM: What are you guys setting your FOV to with Rift S headsets?

Also, I've been running into an issue. After I remove my headset then put it back on my engine sounds go away sometimes. I can still hear all other sounds, it's only engine sound that goes. Anyone having this or have a fix?

Thanks

You can check your sound assignments but I can't think of any reason for just engine sounds to stop.

EDIT: I just experimented with 60 degrees and then 140 degrees and, like always, you are correct FLS, it appears to be fixed.

Thanks for the info

There was a cure for it but I forgot. Either somebody will chime in or it'll come to me. Was something simple. Hasn't happened to me since.

I’ve got Callenge’s new sound pack and also experienced that each time I took the VR headset off. Wonder what’s causing it and if there’s an easy workaround?

Can you name an airplane this happens to? Does it also happen outside of VR?

Post by: Chalenge on April 21, 2020, 05:31:54 PM: If that's the case I'm having trouble believing it's the way I set up the sounds. Let's see if anything changes after I modify the startups.

Post by: pelota on May 18, 2020, 03:40:46 PM: This sound thing happens to me as well: I normally fly the Niki and when I take off the headset (oculus rift cv1) and put back on, the engine restarts, then the engine sound comes back on. At times, though, when I have taken off the headset multiple times during a mission, the engine sound does NOT restart and you hear everything else, EXCEPT the engine sound. It is like when someone shoots your engine and you have no sound. You clearly have a working engine, just no sound. I have not figured this one out!
