Feathered_IV Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Just recently I've been messing about with the German aircraft fro a change of pace. One thing I noticed was that the wind noise seems very loud and persistent compared to the Pe-2 and Yaks that I normally favour. I was wondering if anybody else has a similar issue?
Roo5ter Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Game-breaking. Boycott Yaks and Pe2s and nerf Russian cockpits immediately. Really though, wouldnt the square cockpit be louder? I never noticed any noise difference personally but I'll have to listen for it now.
GOAT-ACEOFACES Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Only if I fly a Russian bird after eating chili the night before
ShamrockOneFive Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I was thinking the opposite last night when I was flying. My Yak sounded windier than the Fw190 was sounding. Who knows?
BraveSirRobin Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I find the Russian cockpits to be windier. Also bloodier. Mostly because of the large holes.
Feathered_IV Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 You have closed the 109's canopy, right? Haha, yeah it's closed. The 190 particularly seemed to be the noisiest. The wind sound was very distinct over the sound of the engine. It was like sitting in an overpowered Se5.
Jupp Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 ~S~ Everyone, Yeah Feathered I know the feeling... cept I blasted the canopy off on the runway trying to engage the War Emergency Cigarette Lighter. 2
Willy__ Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Honestly, everytime I fly with my buddies I lower the volume of the game since its way to loud to hear anything when the other person say something that I didnt noticed.
Danziger Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Maybe the square canopies have more wind resistance? The Yak and LaGG are more round.
TG-55Panthercules Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 When I use my 5.1 surround sound in MP, I keep hearing the wind sound from the cockpit of the plane ahead of me, much louder than the wind sound from my own cockpit.

I was wondering if anybody else has a similar issue? the 109 has this massive tube for the flares that's where the noise come from, and i think the Stuka and 190 had it too Edited April 8, 2015 by Erg./JG54_Potenz
Feathered_IV Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Really, are you sure? Would the flare tubes really be so under engineered as to allow a continuous torrent of air to go howling through them.
BraveSirRobin Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Really, are you sure? Would the flare tubes really be so under engineered as to allow a continuous torrent of air to go howling through them. It's probably a better option than a cover that stops the flare from exiting the aircraft. 1
Feathered_IV Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Maybe a little hinged flap that opens as the muzzle of the flare pistol pushes past it? Anyhow, is this the general consensus here, that the howling air that can be heard over the sound of a 14 cylinder radial (located about 2 metres away) is in fact the blast of icy air being directed by design into the cockpit via the always-open flare chute?
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Really, are you sure? Would the flare tubes really be so under engineered as to allow a continuous torrent of air to go howling through them. The larger concern is the intake of cold air in to the cockpit. In two of the service reference manuals for the 109 (Bf109 F-1, May 1941 and Bf109 K-4, November 1944) that I have it shows that the cockpit side of the tube had a hinged cap that could be closed. It's probably a better option than a cover that stops the flare from exiting the aircraft. Edited April 8, 2015 by 4./JG26_Adler
TG-55Panthercules Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The larger concern is the intake of cold air in to the cockpit. Maybe that was actually a cleverly-engineered form of windscreen defogger, bringing in cold outside air to keep the windows from fogging up just like in your car?
