Ah, but did you disable the trees ?

What do you mean?

Well its just my little joke.
Prior to latest beta patch, in multiplayer if you didnt disable the trees you run a strong possibility of loosing all sounds.

what a terrific use of a word.. A+

I highly recommend Sennheiser headphones if you have the money for them, they aren't cheap but the quality is what you pay for.

Also you might want to look into what sort of soundcard you have. Larger more powerful headphones are usually designed to be used with a headphone amplifier or dedicated powered headphone jack. Without these the headphones won't be able to reach their performance level.

There are a few soundcards out there with built-in headphone amplifier jacks, my Auzentech X-Fi Forte is one. I use it with a Sennheiser PC350 headset and it sounds great.

... forget it all!

You want a real effect, more than a headset can provide?
Get a "buttkicker-gear":

I personally dont have it but a friend tested it and he said, it makes your bowels shake.
:)

Wow, I want one.

My god...Hilarious

Buttkicker is really good for sims if you adjust it properly. Most just crank it up and it will rattle your teeth which is ridiculous. Set properly, you get the feeling in the seat of your pants that you are in a machine with an engine. You feel the guns shaking the plane. Especially good for WWII planes.

Pull it out of the box and crank it and its a joke. Set it up properly and it will really enhance the immersion factor.

Yea but im just worried about the GF getting hold of it and adjusting it to her means...;)
