Can this be Coaded into AH by chance?

LINK

You have to use headphones to get the full effect.

Freaked me out.

Cool stuff.

I had something sort of like this in an old Star Wars game and it was sooooooooooo cool.

Hearing a TIE Fighter buzz by behind you right-left was wicked.

I'm getting up and down as well. It's almost impossible not to turn your head.

I was just thinking what a nice furball would sound like.

I got up/down as well.

VERY cool stuff.

OMG, that was fantastic.

I bought another set of speakers to add to the 2+1 that I already had to add another dimension (5+1) while driving gv's. But like Tinman said, I got up and down also, and with only two speakers (headphones). I've been looking into quadrophonic gaming headphones, but that link (3d sound)would render the headphones a waste of money.

That was too cool.

I turned around and punched that goober that was shaking the matchbox behind me. How irritating.

I know that GTA3 uses something similar to this, so it's been used before. It would be VERY interesting to have in this game

Maybe cause you forgot to take the headphones off?

Considering download time, it would have to be client-side driven, but yes, that kind of sound detail as an option for higher-end machines would be excellent.

Um, guys?

Aces High ALREADY HAS 3-d sounds. You just need a 3-d soundcard and more than two speakers to enjoy it.

I have a Medusa 5.1 surround sound headphone set, plugged into an Audigy 2 LS 5.1 sound card. These headphones have multiple speakers (and a subwoofer cone) in each earpiece, and can accurately reproduce noises from the front, side, back, up, and down.

I also have a TrackIR, which smoothly rotates your head around both axes. The two combined are really amazing...

Say you're facing forward, with the engine running. Now rotate your head up and down, and fully around left and right. The engine noises rotate around your head with your views.

If you think that's cool, then check this out. Use the volume sliders to greatly reduce the the sound of your engines -- say to 40%. Crack up the volume of things relating to enemy planes and enemy shots - say to 95%. Now set all the other volumes to somewhere inbetween - I like 70% or so. (I'd tell you what these sliders are, but I'm not running the game at the moment.)

Now you can actually hear other planes around you, including behind you in the blind spots! You can even hear enemy shots get fired at you and pass by!

The sounds are indeed subtle, but if you're actually listening for them, your situational awareness is vastly increased.

I've been meaning to say KUDOS to the boys for putting in 3-D sounds without mentioning it, really. So now's the time. Kudos to you!
