Does the canopy not effect outside world volume?

[Gun Jam]

Hello

with the canopy open or closed I cant tell a difference in world volume. This is quite profound in the f-18.

Is there just no sound effect for it or is there a cooler reason?

Or did i miss some option?... I dont recall it ever working.

Thanks

Works for me. Show your options/audio page.

Here they are!

After looking at this a bit more. It actually does really effect world volume quite a bit. What it doesn't appear effect (much if at all) is the aircraft engine noise.

1) The engine noise drowns out the world noise

2) The canopy doesn't seem to change engine noise a noticeable amount (open vs close)

3) If the engines are running then there's very little difference between open and closed because of (1) and (2)

By engine noise I mean idle on ground or taxi power.

 

Thanks!

I mean, the engines are bolted to the same hunk of metal both the canopy and the seat are bolted too. 
 

Although even they were supposed to have been drowned out by the Pressurization and Ventilation system in the cockpit.

Perhaps this is the reason..... Would the same logic not apply to the f18?

Would you agree the f18 is much quieter with the lid down vs the f14?

Thanks!

Dono, never touched the hornet. It does have significantly smaller engines further back with intakes much less RIGHT at ear level. 

I run, "Hearing as in Helmet" or whatever, and it sounds like it gets quieter when the canopy is shut. 

You're really getting no change at all in engine sound volume?

I think the change I hear is the ambient noise from the carrier being cut out. With the engine at idle this is a very small change you have to really pay attention to notice it.

Turn off ECS to make sure it's not that you're hearing (air source to OFF or RAM).
