Title: moving sound - will I hear the flyby?
Post by: tafkab on August 17, 1999, 04:41:00 PM: Hi,

will I hear the sounds of other planes in AH?

Post by: -bmbm- on August 18, 1999, 04:47:00 AM: I guess you won't since the only thing pilots generally hear (beyond radio chatter) is the drone of their own engine.

OTOH, it'd be REAL cool if the next generation sims incorporated ambient sound while you're in the tower or sitting idly on the runway.

Post by: popeye on August 18, 1999, 10:24:00 AM: I used to enjoy the "engine start" sounds in AW.

What I would REALLY like is a cool engine start sound with backfires and all that, for 10 or 15 seconds, while cylinder head temp works up to normal. Try to apply full throttle before oil pressure and cylinder head temp are up, and you pork the engine.

Would add a bit of "immersion", and prevent instant die/fly field defense.

Post by: Windle on August 18, 1999, 11:09:00 AM: Yeah, I can't say I wouldn't enjoy the sound of a starter cartridge firing when I 'press E' followed by a few nice puffs of smoke from my exhaust stacks as my prop slowly turns up. (http://www.thewormhole.net/UBB/wink.gif)

Post by: Gazoo on August 18, 1999, 11:35:00 AM: In the "few" hours I have, I have NEVER heard another aircraft. The ONLY thing I have heard is the DRONE (very load) of my own engine and prop. Maybe if idle and feather, but at cruise?

The dopler of other aircraft in other sims, ruins it for me.

Post by: Firefox on August 18, 1999, 11:54:00 AM: Ok, here is my unscientific, but several thousand hours of a crewman in the Navy opinion.

Not once did I ever hear another aircraft's engines while flying, even in close formation.

I flew on A-3s, P-3s, C-121's and C-12s. Never when flying and having other aircraft fly by, or if we did a fly by did I ever hear the drone of another aircraft. Even when having F4J's and F14s go by did I hear their jets.

So I dont believe it should be there.

You're fishing with loaded bait!
Title: moving sound - will I hear the flyby?
Post by: Weave on February 09, 2001, 01:18:00 PM: Real or not, I gotta say that having those sounds would make the game more injoyable.

I also like the idea of a previous poster about having to warm the engine.

There is so much yet that can be added, selecting what I would like first is difficult. If forced to chose, I would say roads and bridges for the ground vehicles vs the spawn point 2 miles from a base.

Don't want to hijack the thread so I'll stop here. Oops, maybe I already did. Sorry.

Check some of the sites with AH sounds. I had a good 109 start up fire that sounded exactly as you describe.

Woo hoo you know it. The second most awesome flight I've ever been on, I made the mistake of saying to the UH-1 pilot "I thought you said you were gonna show us what this thing could do?" hahahah....Only time I ever barfed with a smile on my face.

Post by: fscott on February 09, 2001, 04:19:00 PM: Great news HT! And you folks won't believe the immersion factor when you start hearing ambient noise, not sure how much is going to be implemented, but nothing will beat sitting on the runway with engine, and eharing your squadmates sarting up their engines. WooooHooo!

And for those diehards who dont believe it should be in there, just turn those sounds effects to zero.

Title: moving sound - will I hear the flyby?
Post by: Creamo on February 09, 2001, 06:16:00 PM: Realistic or not, just like combat trim it should be in the GAME if it will be an attractive addition to people, and it is. (And yes, you purists can toggle that sound slider to zero and not worry about it, just like disabling CT.)

Still, I was reading the book Samarai! and he seemed to mention the roaring sounds of the other planes spiraling around him in a big dogfight.

Ut oh, so it may in fact be more realistic anyway.

Hitech and Pyro were obviously talking about a feature that was planned for the original 1.0 release but got put on the back burner (understandable really.)

Post by: J_A_B on February 09, 2001, 08:16:00 PM: I don't think such sounds are too difficult to program. AirWarrior is a fossil, yet we can hear each other's planes and even the guns firing (if your close enough).

This feature is great, as it often makes up for airplane blindspots.
