Not quite.  It is probably even easier for the millions of AH2 players that "game the sounds" by simply lowering the effects slider.

Most people just want to keep what hearing they have left.  I'm sure HTC will fix at least some of the issues.  :pray

One thing your going to have to remember, the playing field is now the same for everyone.

No more getting a bit of advantage by turning engine noise off, so you could here the enemy coming,etc.

Its a level playing field, like it or not.


In the old system, if I turned my gv engine sound completely down, I still could NOT hear the enemy gv until I completely shut my engine off. Only advantage there was not having to hear "VRROOOOOM" for the whole 20 min driving to wherever the action was.

And then you can't hear flaps, gear or stall (as I told you in another thread).  How much is HTC paying you, Baghdad Bob?

Must be something on your end, I can hear everything well enough without anything too loud or too low. Just took some minor tweaking.

The only "tweaking" currently possible is the effects slider.  Unless somehow your slider is different than everyone else's.

I've had everything at 50% or lower from day one, even the old sounds, in order to hear vox.  My only issue really is flaps and right now I'm just guessing.  Stall buzzer is fine and gear, who cares?  The gear light is right next to the "door ajar" light and the turn signal indicator.

I just shut down to hear them. I DID turn my tracks down, but only because I couldn't stand the grinding for the 15mins of my sortie.


But now, sound just seems to radiate from everywhere, no sense of direction any more.

no kidding, terrible imaging now. And you blow something up in front of you and it sounds like it got blown up a completely different distance and direction.

Has anyone been getting an explosion like a bomb hitting, while flying around?  I've had it happen more than a few times, where I would hear something explode but I was all by my lonesome.  I've also heard the same thing while on the ground.  There are no enemy or friendly air on dar, but I would hear a bomb exploding nearby.  Part of the new sound system maybe?  The sound of a bomb going off could be heard from a distance...

The only real problem I had with current sound system was you couldn't deal with the siren itself.  :furious  But they dealt with that with the patch 1.  :aok  Right now I can barely hear my gear going down or coming up, or hear my plane rolling down the runway.  But those are just "extras".  That's really it at this point with patch 1.  :lol  My question is, will they bring back individual settings?  I'm hoping the Stuka will get it's siren soon, but there would need to be an option for it so that players who don't want to hear it, can shut it off.  Much like that base siren... :lol

"Individual adjustments for all sounds would be ridiculous in the amount of adjustment possibilities.  Possible hundreds of sliders."

No. Just a list. You double click on an effect and then You can change its volume.
If so, then no matter how many big the list is.
I cannot play in a gv actually, because sounds were now always too loud for me.
And to listen my music is still not possible as before.

Customization is (or was) a great features of this game.

Having the individual sounds on a drop down list isn't any different than having individual sliders.

You lie Ack-Ack!

A list with 100 sliders is a thing.

A list with 1000 items another.
