Crayfish Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Greeting all, After being away for some weeks due to work I fired up DCS. It did it’s usual update. I loaded a QuickStart mission for the P-51 “Cold Start at Vizani” and proceeded to fly some aerobatics. I noticed that when I changed altitude rapidly such as zoom climbing and diving I would hear a high pitched tone which would last for about 15 seconds if I level out immediately. The other engine and environmental sounds would be dampened down. The only description of this sound is that it’s similar to what you would get when exposed to sudden loud noises such as an explosion. I experienced this myself on several occasions while I was deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Is this meant to simulate the effects on hearing with rapid air pressure changes due to altitude changes? If so is there some virtual chewing gum to help mitigate this? LOL :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what its all about, and it doesn't happen in the TF-51D, just the P-51D. I haven't tried timing it because it seems to start going away the faster I go, and fades completely if I slow back down to 380 knots.

Goblin Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 The P-51 is famous for its whistling sound from the gunports... Could this be what’s simulated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Is this sound appearing while plane is at high AOA (stick is in back position). Or you are referring to this bug when you got this high pitch sound in your ears while other sounds get muted ?

flameoutme Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 it's happened to me several times. Can't seem to see a pattern to them. Really really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Yes pattern is very unclear for me, sometime it's happening to me when i look back or up in level flight too.

flameoutme Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just to be clear to those who haven't experienced it, it's NOT like a high pitch sound set above and in competition with the normal cockpit sounds. When it comes on, its a total domination of sound. If you have ever had an experience of a loud bang at damaging levels, and you heard nothing but a loud ring, that's a pretty good simulation of what I am experiencing in the P-51 from time to time.

slickdevel Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have experienced in game the "silence" of negative G's but I have yet to hear this loud high pitched noise. Maybe my years of tinnitus overpower it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
