Not knowing anything about game programming I don't even know if this is possible.
But I think it would be neat to have the speed of sound somehow modeled in the game.
Not a big deal at all, it just kinda bugs me when I see shells landing 1/2 mile or more away and the sound is instantaneous.
EDIT: also, I know it's been covered before but I'd like to see wind in the MA too.

if you are in an airplane you most likely won't hear them at all. same for other planes, bullets,et.

Offline set some ground level wind and try a few takeoffs and landings in various directions.

cross wind landings are great fun, in a game at least.

I've always considered wind one of those "hey that's nifty" features that quickly get annoying once the novelty wear's off, sort of like night time.

i love wind in SEA AvA setups. its just more of a challenge to fight while up against the enemy

not in an airplane, but in an 8" gun (TG or land-based) 10k from your target? you'd hear it, alright... or...dont ask why, but Vehicle with engine off?

Correct! Only bystanders can hear the boom.

But it would make a non negligible difference in ground fights, at least when your engine's off.

This is one of things that is on my list, that I never seem to get to.

you can keep shelving it hitech...
rather have stuff like 37mm at guns for stuka...ju-52...he-111...a6m3...migg 3...new damage models...before a nifty sound effects... :D
*i know people say it a lot...but...communications directly from the staff is reason #1 for me to keep my subscription*

They're more fine in real life. :D

My bad.... i totally misunderstood the topic.
+1 for time lapse sound.

Would love to try it! Only thing I have landed in real life are gliders and there was no runway :)

Neat.
As for the wind, yes I have flown offline with wind, I like the added challenge. And it would do away with pinpoint accurate bombing from 30k, which seems really ridiculous to me.

oh GVers are not gonna like it.. you think people whine about getting camped now, wait till they dont even hear the shot that kills 'em :)

You got to love that feeling in a tail dragger when you push your foot to the floor on final , and the nose just comes to center line and you think. Hmm I sure hope the wind dies close to the ground, else we ain't landing here today.
