Sound in cockpit to hear other jets?

[graywo1fg]

ok i can never hear any other jets when i'm flying and when i come up behind someone in formation in ventrilo they always say OOOO i hear someone!..... but i cant hear them and i'm RIGHT behind them (and a few feet away if you know me ;) ) so is there a specific sound setting for that? because i want to hear other jets too :P

Under audio (sound) options.

 

 

Select External Sounds and set the slider to max.

 

Some thing to that effect.

Ah mate you don't know what yer missing. It sounds so realistic and adds to the depth of the whole sim.

ok hmmmmm external sounds slider? doesnt sound familiar but i'll fool around with it :S

 

yea Bat i'm trying to get my sounds to that realism :P having a bit of troubles but i think i got it now :)

[Aeroscout]

I would think so. A cockpit canopy wont block out your own engins, so why would it block the sound from a plane a few more meters away?

 

I'll have to adjust it my self.

k thanks for the input Cali :D i know that you probably cant hear a plane next to you in real life but i just want to in the sim because it sounds cool :P

I can't say I know if you can or can't hear another aircraft while in flight because I was never in a fighter jet, but I think you wouldn't because the internal noise from your own engines is much greater then external noise.

 

Actually when I think about it, when I flew in normal airliner a few times, I recall not hearing anything from outside once engines got running... and this is still on the ground with engines not even running on high RPM, I doubt you'd hear anything once in flight.

 

Come to think of it too, watching some videos from inside the cocpit, I also don't remember hearing any sound that would resemble engine noise from other aircraft... now when I think about it I think I will pay more attention to this and see if this is really true or not.

 

Best thing would be for some fighter pilot to say when he can and can't hear then we can settle down and have the real info on this :D

Ok, I'll keep the slider where it is... no I'll change it... no, i'l leave it... no... YES... NO... ARRG! what do i do. lol

[VMFA-Blaze]

 

This is what it looks like... Just push the slider all the way to the right...

 

~S~

This should clarify, it's about MiG-29

 

 

Q: A czy z kabiny można usłyszeć lecący obok samolot (jeśli tak to z jakiej około odległości), czy też własny huk zagłusza wszystko?

 

A: Musi być blisko i obok lub przed, najlepiej na obrotach maksymalnych lub dopalaniu.

Kiedyś polecialem na zwykły lot treningowy z dyżuru bojowego, robiliśmy VID zamiennie, raz ja jako cel, a drugi raz kumpel. Tego dnia ogrywaliśmy role zwykłych benkуw, czyli bez manewrowania. Wypadła kolej na mnie jako cel, a nie lubię tego bo leci się kilka minut po prostej, znudzony zaczałem bawić się GPS-em, obeserwować jak kolega buduje manewr, itp. Po jakimś czasie poczułem, że w kabinie jest zbyt zimno, pochyliłem siędo przodu by przkręcić temperaturkę na 20 stopni, zrobiłem to i podnosząc się usłyszałem jakiś dziwny głośny szum. W pierwszej chwili pomyślałem: "Ale klima daje", jednak gdy podnisłem wzrok i zobaczyłem samolot, ktуry mnie przechwycił odruchowo zacisnąłem zęby i to co jest dokładnie po drugiej stronie. Nie wyglądało to dobrze, gość był w locie plecowym, dysze jego lśniły blaskiem dopalania, a jego samolot spadał kierując się przed mуj dziуb, przeszedł dokładnie w mojej osi jakieś 50 metrуw przede mną, w pierwszej chwili chciałem zdjąć obroty, jednak powstrzymałem się, zmiana parametуw pracy silnikуw mogłaby doprowadzić do pompażu w czasie przelotu przez jego strugi. Nie luzując szczęk (i tego drugiego) przeszedłem przez zawirowania, po wylocie miałem przechylenie 60 stopni, choć nie ruszałem drążkiem.

Przez cały czas słyszałem pracę jego silnikуw, to był ten dźwięk o jaki posądziłem na początku moją klimę.

A dlaczego tak sie stało? Normalka, jak kręci sie beczkę wokуł drugiego samolotu to trzeba miec predkość, tym bardziej, że musi to być balia. W gуrnym położeniu trzeba zdecydowanie samolot wypchnąć by nie spadł jak g... tj, jak samolot kumpla, całe szczęście przed dziobem a nie w dziуb. Na ziemi wyjaśmił mi co sięstało i zapytał czy aby za bardzo mnie nie przestraszył bo sam miał pełne portki i rarował się dopalaniem. Oczywiście odpowiedziałem, że nie, spoko fajnie wyglądało, itp. jednka poprosiłem by więcej tego nie robił. Teraz siedzi na emeryturce i pewnie opowiada jak to beczki wokуł kabiny kręcił.

 

 

OK, I'll translate :P

 

 

Q: Is it possible to hear other jet flying nearby?

 

A: Yes, but it has to be close, before you or side by side, best at maximum thrust or afterbrner.

Once upon a time, I flew ordinary training flight, we were VID interchangeably, once I played target, next time my wingman. That day we acted as ordinary Boeings, no maneuvering. It was my turn to be a target, I don't like it because you have to fly straight for several minutes, bored I started to play GPS, watched how my pal is gainins position, etc. After some time I noticed that it was too cold in the cockpit, I bend down to increase temperature to 20 degrees, did that and heared strange noise. At first I thought: "this air conditioning is really loud", but then I looked up and I spot the plane which intercepted me, instinctively I clenched my teeth and the thing a man has on his other side. It wasn't looking good at all. The guy was in inverted flight, his nozzles where shining with afterburners and the plane was falling towards my nose. He passed directly ahead of me, about 50 meters. At first I wanted to lower RPM, but I didn't, the sudden change of parameters could lead to engine stall when passing his wake. Not slackening my teeth (and the second thing) I passed this turbulence, I got 60 degrees of bank even though I didn't move the stick.

The whole time I heared his engines working, it was the hum I thought came from air conditioning. And why it happened? Nothing special, when you make a barrel roll around other plane you need speed. At highest point you have to strongly push the stick forward, otherwise the plane will fall like sh.. , i.e. like my pal's jet, fortunatly in front of my nose, not directly at my plane. After the flight he explained me what happened and asked if he had scared me much because he had the shit scared out of him and had to rescue himself with afterburner. Of course I answered that I wasn't, that it was cool, looked nice an so on, but asked him not to do this again. Now he is retired and probably tells stories everyone around how he made rolls around my cabin.

Ah good.

[169th_Bat]

But in the real thing can u hear a jet like that?

 

Well it sounded just like the sim when I was in my Typhoon this morning.

[169th_Bat]

thanks for the info some1 :D

 

Have you solved it mate?

[graywo1fg]

yup :D

[169th_Bat]

yup :D
