F-16 Afterburner detent sound is very low in 2.7

[b0bl00i]

Using headphones, stereo setup. When looking down at the throttle the sound of passing the detent is OK but when looking straight forward through the hud it's barely audible. This was not the case with the older 2.5 build. This is with the setting enable at 300%
It's very usefull to hear this sound as it removes the need of looking at the throttle position. Please take a look at.

 

Cheers.

There is a sound which you can hear without a helmet definitely in the real plane. Do you enable "Hear like in helmet" option?

Anyway:

1) I'm not sure that something was changed from 2.5 for it  I don't see any changes there

2) settings 300% will not apply to it, because it does not belong to the "switches" category. It's like a separate mechanism

3) The cockpit sounds will be updated in the nearest future and I will check and adjust this sound too 

Thanks

I appreciate this. Since I use a throttle without detend. I found the sound in the F-16 VERY helpful but found it to low volume, too!

Not sure how fast it will get in the update. Therefore, I propose a temporary fix. Unzip attached archive to c:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Saved Games\DCS\Sounds\sdef

Great comment..or not. You are missing the point. It's to aid the virtual pilot (meaning you and me) knowing when the AB engages or not. In the real aircraft, this is done easily since there's an AB detent. Something we are lacking if we are not using an extra button and the ab detent setting.

Yep I'm using hear like in helmet. It's seems to have been an "improvement" with stereo separation of that particular sound. Prior to 2.7, I could just fly the plane looking out the window or the hud and loudly hear the detent click, but now in 2.7, I need to look directly at it to hear the detent click clearly. Thanks for replying!
