Oxygen mask sounds

[Lace]

I watched the recent Mirage F1 'Giraffe' video, and it made me realise just how sterile and quiet the in-cockpit audio environment is in DCS.  The oxygen mask demand valve sounds on this video add a real dramatic aspect to the audio experience.  It would be great if we could have a similar set of sounds incorporated into DCS, to add to the G-strain.  

Here's the video if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Not realistic. With headphones on your ears, running engines and ECS how would you hear your breath?

Using this as a g meter of sorts might be a reasonable way to include it even if it's not strictly realistic. In real life, you can feel g build up. I was recently on a flight and you can feel very minute motions of the aircraft unlike in a simulation. Subbing sounds in for the experience of motion can be a workaround.

If you want more immersion while keeping with realistic sounds though, perhaps an overhaul of AI comms is due. More varied voices, lines, and more focus on creating and communicating information.

For sure you can hear it IRL, certainly with the masks I've used.  Some of the more modern stuff might be quieter though.
