BS2 1.1.1.1 In Cockpit Sound Adjustments (and missile sounds)

[wheelhaus]

I've been really enjoying the new BS2, however I'd like to boost the sounds from things heard inside the cockpit such as bullets impacts and missile launches. I know its not 100% realistic due to rotor and engine sound masking and pilot headset, etc, but it'll make the experience more enjoyable for me.

 

I've found a few old threads (pre BS2) pointing to autoexec.cfg and sound.cfg, but I cannot find these files ANYWHERE. I assume this is due to the new sound engine. All I want to do is boost their sound levels and/or adjust the attenuation frequency. Any tips?

 

Also, I hope this is related, after launching a Vikhr, I sometimes press F6 to watch the missile in flight. Right now I hear nothing, even while the rocket's engine is still hot. I expect it to go silent after the engine cuts out, but not before, especially with the chase camera positioned within a few meters.

 

edit- i have also read the DCS sound FAQ, no apples.

Simply create the autoexec.cfg file with the appropriate entries in C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS DCS BlackShark 2\Config

just did a search for "autoexec" and found a similar thread regarding cockpit sounds, somehow it was missed by my previous searches.

 

I created the autoexec.cfg file with the following:

sound.cockpit_world_volume = 4.5

sound.cockpit_world_lowpass = 5000 (still tweaking with this value)

 

seems to be working great.

and I am also adjusting some of the *.sdef files in the sounds folder.

 

Thanks Nate!

well nothing I do seems to make a difference for the missile in flight sound. (launch a vikhr, hit F6 and it's silent). I can hear the doppler effect from the KA-50 and the launch sound fading away quickly, but that's it.

 

I've tried adding gain = 4.0 in MissileEngine.sdef but i get nothing. Where else should I look, or is this sound simply missing?

If the Missile is supersonic you will only hear it from behind - but as you say from launch you should hear it.
