MACADEMIC Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi all, Would like to hear your opinions about hearing your own bullets impacting other aircraft when you're in your own cockpit with the engine running and canopy closed. The sound effects itself are nicely done, but you'd never hear that in real flight. IL2 BoS is doing a great job avoiding the typical 'sound radar' you have in many other sims/games where you hear another aircraft's approaching - you'd not hear that and you don't in this sim. Consequently I'd prefer not to have these sound effects as well. What do you think? Awaiting your opinions, and please vote in the poll! MAC P.S.: Posted as suggestion here 2
Panzerlang Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I think they're very subtle and audible only when very close anyway. A nice touch imo. 2
Sokol1 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 NO! Fool thing, remember how bad this are in CloD before TF mod. Sokol1
6./ZG26_Emil Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I think they're very subtle and audible only when very close anyway. A nice touch imo. I said no but I agree so far, I only remember hearing them when I'm very very close.
MACADEMIC Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Bump - sorry, I think a few more votes could be collected on this one. Thanks, MAC
AX2 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I don't know if is completely realistic, BUT if y you drive a F1 car, surely you can hear the explosion of stick of dynamite explosion up to 300- 400 meters. The high explosive ammunition for Russian, German and British ammo, it's like dynamite Explosion inside and out the plane. We should not underestimate the power of the explosive ammo. The sound is not totally unreal for HE . Edited February 24, 2014 by Mustang
Reflected Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I always think that I'm getting clobbered, it's so loud. Either turn the volume WAY down, or turn it off completely.
Feathered_IV Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I very much doubt any pilot ever heard the noise his bullets made when they struck another aircraft. A big No from me. 3
senseispcc Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I am not convinced that with the roar of your engine and a 150 meters distance you can hear the impact of yours bullets hitting the target and I am not speaking about 1000 meters distance...even more so if you are in a clossed canopy. Edited February 24, 2014 by senseispcc
MACADEMIC Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Even if you could (which you can't), there should be a noticeable time delay between the visual impact and the sound you would hear. This is not the case the way it's now done. Anyway, hope the devs will try this out for themselves and at least let us have the option (although I favour the 'No' option more). I find this aspect of flight in a highly powered noisy aircraft fascinating, there's an eerie quality about the world outside being completely silenced out from the noise of your machine, a bit like all the drama going on outside your cockpit happening in another, distant world. It also explains why so many were shot down from close behind completely unawares, didn't notice a thing until their crate started falling apart... MAC
MACADEMIC Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Final bump for poll. Another chance to vote. MAC
6./ZG26_Emil Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Lets be honest, +/- 1500 hp engine and wearing head phones plus a closed canopy you wont hear a damn thing apart from your engine 1
Dave Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Lets be honest, +/- 1500 hp engine and wearing head phones plus a closed canopy you wont hear a damn thing apart from your engine And I always wore earplugs to block out as much of that as possible too.
[RG]Flanker1985 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I am more interested in hearing bullet impact on my own plane. I sometimes don't even know I took a hit, because there is no sound.
