More realistic landing experience

[Leporello]

I love this game so far, actaully more than a game of course.

Learning curve is motivating everytime.

Just one thing disappointed me, that is the muffled feeling I got when touching down when landing and when rolling on to take off. To be honest most of the flight sim do not portray well this aspect, but I think that just playing more realistic sound files can greatly enhace the experience.

 

One plane that made it right I think was PMDG 737 in FSX series. You got that trembling and noisy feedback when touching down until speed decreased to 60/70 knots. Now all you get is a brief tire whistle and not much more.

 

I know that a military sim has other crucial points to deal with, nonetheless the feeling of ground contact one gets could be improved increasing the realism of coming back home after completing a mission and landing safely.

I Think some kind of vibration noises which increases as rolling speed increases would improve the immersiveness of the sound. IMO the engine sound is excellent, the only other thing which could be added is wind noise, which would also increase with speed. The thing is, because the engines are so close to the cockpit they would potentially drown out any ambient noises when at full rpm like in takeoff.

A10 is not nearly as big or heavy as 737. Its also a "stiffer", more rugged airframe. I wouldn't expect as much noise from it on take off.

try taking off or landing in DCS A-10C with 3% fuel or less, empty guns, and clean configuration. There is a lot of shakiness and vibration. When you are fully loaded it seems to dampen out. Im sure you can notice this with more weight, but this is how my airplane was when I really noticed it for the first time.

It's more the non immersive sound environment I'm talking about.

 

Maybe a real flight recording of landing sounds could improve by its own the ground feeling (not the actual tire whistle but the ensuing trembling of the cockpit frame), maybe coupled with some screen shaking.

 

3% fuel and empty stock...uhmmm...why would you take off in such a configuration?

For aircraft carrier landings. :smilewink:

We will have F18 for that, wont we? :music_whistling:

I surely hope so!!
