Throttle sound issue

[syko]

Plane sound doesn't go down when you back throttle off, it sounds like it is full throttle, but when you back off the throttle the speedometer goes down but sounds doesn't.

It's a sound issue in this alpha release. Changes.txt is your friend.

5. We are now using the fmod studio event systems for almost all sounds.
Most sounds are simply the old ones used as place holders.
Airplanes are now using the new engine system, but we only have 1 engine type as a place holder.

To be fair there is nothing in the changes.txt that says the (one) engine sound won't track throttle position.

In real life the throttle dosn't change the sound of the engine much with fixed pitch props when your in level flight.

It will not be sounding like before ,but it will be different then it is now in the current beta.

Hopefully, the suttle changes in engine sound will be enough to signal my brain, throttle position.  This is an area of many potential complaints. 

In heated dogfights, it is very possible to forget you have chopped throttle, and I personally have come accustomed to engine sounds reflecting airspeed to a greater degree than an actual pilot. 

I do pretty much the same with my truck engine sounds, when changing gears.  I guess I also look for visual clues and tire and wind sounds in combination, but rarely look at the speedometer.

if you throttle back a plane engine it changes rpms which makes a different sound in the motor. more rpm's higher winding sound... lower rpms lower sound in the motor. all engine work like that, they don't sound like full throttle all the time.

A constant speed propeller doesn't change RPM it changes pitch. The only planes without constant speed propellers in AH are the WW1 aircraft and the Fieseler Storch.

Will this be more like the live mic sound pickups from warbirds cockpits at youtube? Kermit Weeks seems to have a large group of live sound pickup from the cockpit videos of a number of warbirds. Sounds seem to follow a standard formula. Idle, power on for take off and variations between no throttle, cruise, or full throttle. Variations, not really drastic changes.

Everyone can give his videos a listen here. And you can find videos for just about all engines we have in the game from restored warbirds. If anything, monotonous from inside the cockpit.

Huh huh, he said beta, huh huh.

Maybe we will finally get that increased pitch when we over speed during divebombing in the p-51.  I saw it on YouTube , I'll have to post it when I can.
