more sound options.

[Ghosth]

Lulu you've read what Pyro and Hitech have said, it ain't going to happen. Those days are gone.

You lie Ack-Ack!

A list with 100 sliders is a thing.

A list with 1000 items another.

 

It all starts with a single cookie...before long you're eating the entire package. Ack-Ack is right and you know it.

Do you remember how many sound adjustments there were before this latest update?

Think about the eventuality of having more than double the number of existing sounds embedded into the game, then consider HTC trying to program and maintain an interface to adjust each sound individually just so people don't whine about the lack of volume control over sounds. This new system is easier on everyone, and improves the expandability of the game the same way the last graphics update did. Continuing to stay in the technology stone age is not an option for a game that sits in a niche market, progress and improvement has to occur or it dies.

I think what its gonna take for all the drama queens to stop their whing about the newest sound system is for some one to make a custom sound pack.

Just give it some time and someone will, but albeit, someone will whine because in the soundpack their warning sound isn't high enough, their flaps are too loud.. You see where this is going.

All I can say is thank you HTC for trying to improve an addiction. Sounds and new bases and town are awesome.

[Nemisis]

lulu, no its not. We don't need options for tire rumble on the runway, and the little click when a bomb is released.

All we need is the vehicle sound setting returned (almost required to enjoy GV'ing, IMO), and for aircraft, all we need is the flaps, gear, engine, and weapons.

Actually in another thread they said they're including some more controls to some specific sounds, but not to all of them.  Its getting better but we still have lots of sounds that are not playing, landing gear, cannons, flaps, etc.  AS for doubling the number of sounds in the game, what is the point if we cant  hear 1/2 of them?  Miles system might be the best thing since sliced toasted bread with peanut butter and jelly, but it really sucks as compared to what we had 3 days ago.  We are being patient, but seriously i am beginning to get a headache every time i play.  and then we have non-AH staff people telling us what idiots we are and to update our system, because that is the problem.  For all of you guys, that try to help we really appreciate that, but the others who's only response is update your system stay out of it, please.

I'm sorry, but semp brings up a good point. Not everyone can afford a top end machine. There have to be concessions some where.

I'm running a system with a Realtek sound chip onboard, far from "top end" and I'm not missing any sounds. True some sounds are a bit lower than I was used to but, with a $15 pair of headphones I can hear everything that's needed including the stuff Semp listed.

Maybe it's not just the new sound system, maybe some of the people doing the "mommy I want" stuff need to take some steps within the game to figure out what works best on their systems.

I got a great computer with a 150 headset.  I have tweaked the sounds sliders, but still missing some sounds.  Tried diFferent sound packs and its all the same.  It is not on my end.  Unless there some additional sound control. Don't know about.  Same thing happens of I use speakers too.  And btw I have 3 sets of headphones all same result.  Two plug into sb spundboard the other is a usb.  And I am not just beatching flor nothing, I have spent more time trying different settings than flying.

Then it's something associated with your sound card or you need to adjust your hearing aid.    Seriously, don't you think that if it was something in the sound system that everyone would be having the exact same problems?

[Knite]

The primary issue is that the sound was designed to work a certain way with the old system, the system was replaced with a new system, but the sounds are still designed for the old one and therefore aren't balanced in the new method. They're working on the balance, they're working on the new system, and they're working on increasing some of the customization.
As an example : In the old system you had engine sounds at 45% but everything else at stock. Now, engine sounds are at the 90% they would have normally been by default (twice as loud), drowning out Flaps/Gear and other sounds. It has nothing to do with the sound file changing, nothing to do with the sound system itself changing, and everything to do with a new "sound level balance".

Honestly, the sound issues people are having for the most part have nothing to do with how expensive or cheap your computer components are.
In fact, the Miles sound system should actually work BETTER for people with lower end equipment than the old system did.

Your system sucks, dude.  Time to upgrade
