[REPORTED]A10-C: no flares sound in cockpit

[GurbY]

No changes whatsoever, only thing was the last update, and since that I can't hear the flares poppin while in the cockpit. In the outside view, they make the familiar sound, but in the pit, only chaff can be heard, no flares...

...I wonder if that isn't actually more realistic.

I mean: Is a pilot able to hear those sounds in real life? Over the sound of the engines, through his helmet? If yes those things are frikkin' loud!

 

I doubt they are though. That is probably the reason why in some planes Betty announces dropping them by saying "CHAFF" or "FLARE" aloud.

 

So maybe the bug should be "sound of chaff still audible in cockpit".

thanks, reported

do you have "hear like in helmet " ticked in options?

 

I am hearing it now, not sure if anything has changed or what it should be like IRL

 

bare in mind if you change that option dcs should be restarted to take affect

Yes. But will untick it, close, start, try, tick it, close, start and try again tonight. Will report back.

Scott, I tried. When I select "Hear like in helmet" I'm unable to hear the popping of the flares is (in the cockpit).

When I untick the option, the sound is back again.

For the record: I always had the option ticked. So something has changed for sure.

No worries, I did do a report and it has been looked at and fixed

 

hopefully we will see it on the next patch
