Also is it just me or is the german machine-guns/cannons sound really unrealistic? When comparing to real life videos they sound very different and games like CloD do it way better. Example the famous sound of the MG 15 doesn't sound close to the one we got ingame.

Funny you mention CLOD, you know where they got help for their sound engine right?

But why are the sounds is BOS/BOM so unrealistic? I dont see why because the sound is very realistic in many other games including CloD but here it feels pretty lame  :huh:

I have to agree with Mr. Fries.  I've thought back many times to how cool the 109 sounded in the Alpha stage but lost much of it's distinctive  and historically accurate personality by the time they launched the game.  Developers ... what happened?

Please, provide link to real life videos.

Who needs a link? The point is the Alpha SFX for the 109 are better than the ones in the game.

Define "unrealistic."

Can you recreate those videos in the latest version of the game? That might be the best way to demonstrate the percieved or real delta.

BOS sounds are great.  But, I think the 109 sounded better and more realistic in the Alpha.  I remember the first time I heard the 109 in the Alpha I was blown away.  Does anyone disagree and think the current 109 is more accurate and pleasing to the ear?

Because McKvack is saying that weapons sound different "When comparing to real life videos..."  If he is referring to WWII video, they were shot without sound and it was added later.  Maybe he has something more current to compare to.

Oh ... IMHO the weapons sound great!

I would assume that the engine sound for a pilot wearing a flight helmet with incorporated headphones (and radio chatter) would be very different for us folk flying sims with the ability to have an outside view etc.

 

I do take on board what the OP has said and from a purely aesthetic view point, I would love to hear those engines growling away as seen courtesy of the many air show videos that are out there.

 

My only real complaint is I wish the cannons sounded more beefy and vibrated though the airframe more. Saying that, again it would probably sound difference to the pilot.

Better weapon sounds and the alpha 109 seems a lot better , tracer colour would be great too .

white snow.

white clouds.

Listening to those alpha EA vids in the OP, are the ingame sounds now so much different? if you listen to the aircraft from a fixed point externally and from a distant flyby of two A/C at similar volumes I don't really notice much of a change/problem.

 

If the OP wanted that 'type' of sound to be heard when in cockpit then I can understand the point of view, if not necessarily agree with it, also with the gunfire, I imagine that the 20mm being fired on the range would sound a lot different with a DB601 running at full bore next to it, and different again if the 20mm was mounted inside the engine block ;)
