You ever been in a P-51 and heard anything other than the absolute roar of the engine? Yeah, you might be able to "feel" the gear extending, or notice the nose down pitch of an airliner once flaps get extended, but that's from the relative quiet of the cabin. I flew formation with a couple of other aircraft in my Grumman, and I couldn't hear them 50 feet away. I could never hear my flaps going down--I had to watch them go down or come up to know where they were.
The thing is, you have been used to playing the game with all of these auditory ques that wouldn't exist in real life. I like the new settings. I barely get a whisper when flaps or gear deploy--the way it should be. I can't turn down my engine noise to nothing and hear all the bad guys sneaking up on me. If you were just joining Aces High 2, you wouldn't be complaining--ignorance is bliss.
Nice post Von...
But that is exactly what made this game fun, all the different sounds. flaps, landing gear, explosions, cannon sound, mg sound, etc. when ht first switched to the miles system a couple of months ago, I loved it. I had no problems whatsoever, all the sounds were so much clearer, voice was better, it was awesome. Which is how it is now with the exception that some sounds are gone. with the beta release of a couple of weeks ago, my fr was horrible, now it is better than ever. To be honest it drives me crazy to hear the constant loud humming of the engine and that is really a problem with me and If i lower the sound of it, then all the other sounds are lowered to and that is the problem. I spend around $700 building the computer and about $400 on headphones/speakers/sound card, so i can hear all the distinctive sounds, because that was just as important to me as flying. right there with the awesome graphics we have now.
