hog_driver111th Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 On my last flight I did, I noticed that in the external view with engines running that the engine sound almost dies completely when viewing the aircraft from directly behind. This was done while sitting on the ramp, engines at idle and panning around the F2 view. Another thing (more of a wish list but dealing with the engine sounds) is if we could maybe get a more whistle out of the engines when in flyby mode like you hear from the actual A-10 instead of the way it is now.

Nate--IRL-- Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I noticed that to and I wrote it up as a bug. But apparently this is correct behaviour, according to sound recordings of the A-10s engines in various regimes made by ED.

hog_driver111th Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Well, I'm sure Paulrkiii can state what is and isn't, but I'm a ramp agent at the airports here in Berlin and also a pilot. I can tell you that things get noisy infront, and definitely behind where the exhaust is. In most cases for jet engines (turbines like the A-10 or commercial) the engine sounds can sound reduced at about 45° off the front of the intakes until around 60°, but as you continue to the rear the sounds get a lot louder. The sound is a lot different of a tone, but shouldn't drop in the level they do in the sim. In front it's a whine, in the rear it's a deep roar, but a lot louder.

Eddie Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 You'd be suprised. Take the Typhoon for example, you'd think fast jet with engines that size and power output would be very loud. But in reality, on the ground at idle of even taxi power settings once it's more than a hundred metres or so away you can't even hear it. From the front it's a different story. Of course, once the throttles are pushed up things change, but it's a good example of exactly what you're describing occuring with an aircraft you'd think would be loud all the time.
