External sounds heard in cockpit

[hubson]

Are these settings from FC2 still accessible in DCS World? How can I change them?

sound.cockpit_world_volume = -9.1

sound.cockpit_world_lowpass = 1000

[hubson]

Anyone?

Is there a way to attenuate external sounds while in the cockpit in FC3?

 

Mods:

Could this thread be moved to 'Mods and Apps' section please? Its not about any bugs in my question, I shouldn't have place it here in the first place.

You have option for that in Audio settings of the sim called "In Cockpit" slide it down and it'll attenuate external sounds in cockpit

 

And you know, cockpit is not acoustically that good, you hear less with canopy closed but won't cut out all external sound

[hubson]

In-Cockpit slider adjusts internal sounds only (cockpitSystems.wav, cockpitAfterburner.wav etc) I now that cockpit itself is not totally sound proof in real life, but I'd like to set it to my liking in the sim (I'm using pretty loud custom outer sounds). Thanks for the replay anyway.

[Kuky]

Have you tried it? That slider is to change sound level of external sounds to be heard in cockpit when canopy is closed... hm at least that's what it used to be

[hubson]

Have you tried it?

Yes, I've double-checked. When set to 0 all internal sounds are gone and no difference to the engine noise from the outside.

hm...alright, then do the reverse, reduce all other sound sliders and leave this one on max, you'll get the wanted result?

[hubson]

:) Not really.. I'll end up with all outer sounds muted and that is no go. The proper solution would be the fix given in this thread for FC2:

It doesn't work in the DCSWorld however.

Well geees, of course, if you put all sounds to zero they will be muted, so how about you put them 1/2 way or something, then they won't be muted

dcs world\config\sound.lua

 

-- set up cockpit types

sound['cockpit_world'] = {

['A-10C'] = { gain = 0.35, lowpass = 1000 },

['P-51D'] = { gain = 0.18, lowpass = 3500 },

 

 

The "gain" parameter usually sets up loudness. As you can see the p51 apparently has a better sealed cockpit, which seems weird to me. Also there is no SU25 option... Mhh. Whatever. :) Lower "gain" and you will have less external stuff in the cockpit.

 

I THINK this is how it works. Try it out.

[hubson]

Yeah it is a good direction Megagoth. I tried that, it doesn't affect FC3 aircrafts though. Adding new line:

['F-15c'] = { gain=...

doesn't work too.

[Megagoth1702]

Then I have no idea man. :( Try to PM c0ff about it maybe? He is an awesome dude, always trying to help.

 

Try F_15 instead of F-15c

 

 

In config\view\view.lua it says:

 

CameraViewAngleLimits[F_15] = {20.0, 140.0}

 

So probably this is the right name for the F_15?

[hubson]

I'll keep searching. Thanks guys.

[c0ff]

The name is "F-15C" - note the letter case.

 

To avoid clashing with autoupdater, I suggest adding modifications through Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg:

 

Create the file if necessary and append something along these lines:

if sound and sound['cockpit_world'] then
   sound['cockpit_world']['F-15C'] = { gain = xxx, lowpass = yyy }
end

corrected the example

[Sov13t]

Can this be done for the SU-27 c0ff?

It works for any aircraft (obviously, human-controllable only).

You just need to know the name. Scripts\Database\planes\* is your friend here.

 

EDIT: aircraft only. Other unit types aren't supported yet.

Not any unit.

[Sov13t]

Thank you! :thumbup:

[hubson]

Works as a charm. Thank you!

[Megagoth1702]

c0ff the code master. Thank you man, learned something new today. :) I actually wasnt aware of the whole "database" folder, awesome!

Mh, this does not seem to work the same way for graphics.cfg mods.

 

if graphics then

MaxFPS = 5;

end
