voyagingmind Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I've noticed several times, while sustaining AAA/SAM damage, while still being able to fire the GAU-8 Avenger, at times (guessing all depending what system's have been damaged) that the cannon makes a distinctly lower pitched gun firing sound, which by the way, to by ears, sounds much more menacing (in a hell from above kind of way), let alone much cooler than the default sound. Just wondering if this is some kind of bug (i've noticed one audio related bug where the sound drops out at times the first 10-30 seconds after respawning (rshift + rcontrol + tab)? Or possibly some type of damage modeling. And one unrelated question quickly. From what I understand the Litening pod can see through clouds when the flir mode is used. But I'm guessing this has a rather limited ability in terms of cloud thickness. From what I could gather in one mission I just flew, it seemed to be able to penetrate about 100-200 feet (at least from the cockpits perspective I had zero-ground visibility), but as soon as I gained just a little altitude, no dope on the lightning. Any ideas? Thanks! p.s. To any mod reading this: I've had a few of my posts moved to different locations (which made more sense, so thanks guys, I'm new here and still learning the many sections/sub-sections of the forum). But I'm a bit confused with the A-10c section. On the one hand there's a sticky for DCS A-10c question, and on the other hand there are plenty of DCS A-10c question going on in the thread itself. To save you guys some overhead, by what criteria do you decide where which type of question should be posted where. Edited February 16, 2012 by voyagingmind
Phuz Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Fwiw the cannon is hydraulicly spun, so if you had an issue causing lower than normal hydraulic pressure you would see a slower rate of fire.

Thanks, I was thinking it could be that. Now I have to figure out if the GAU-8 at the slower fire rate is a separate wave/.ogg file, or if it's the audio-engine playing it at another pitch. Because its so sweet and deadly sounding, I need to make it the default GAU sounds :spam_laser:

Clouds have a very large impact on IR sensors as the vapour absorbs the IR radiation :) Check GAU8CannonLow.wav in \\Sounds\Effects\Weapons, that was probably what you heard.
