Wind sound varying with side-slip

[-0303-]

With open cockpit, one would expect deafening sound if leaning over the side. There's no change at all, sticking the head out. Would be nice but not critical.

 

There's another reason though to develop sounds. Side slipping, In a glider at least, if you side-slip a lot, you really really hear it. In general, wind noise increase with degree of side slip.

 

The ball in I-16 is below panel and difficult to see. So how about developing wind noise more realistically?

 

I flew along, looked at the ball and saw the ball being fully stuck to the left. Point being I didn't know I was side-slipping at all and was surprised. If you side-slip that much in a real aeroplane, I'm certain you would hear it (in any aeroplane actually)

You really really hear sideslip in some gliders "Bergfalke 3" (enclosed cockpit, still an ear deafening thunder). Admittedly you hear it less in modern composites planes. But, again, I-16 open cockpit, I think you'll hear it.
