Jafa's Merlin sound vs Devs.

[mkubani]

From a virtual pilot point of view: fly by sounds are the least important sounds in any flight simulator. 99% of the sim time we spend in the "office" = cockpit.

Basically, you may appreciate nice fly by only if you are sitting on the runway with your engine off and conopy open. How many of us do that? And if yes, how often? The important sounds are the ones you hear from the cockpit. We should seek top fidelity there. External sounds are more for movie makers than for virtual pilots.

I don't know the limitations / priorities of IL-2 1C team, but fly bys would be on the bottom of my list. Cockpit sounds on the very top, on the other hand.

My 2 cents.

My thoughts as well, can't recall listening to the fly by sounds, if I want too hear a Merlin fly by I will take a look at youtube for a real one, it is a flight sim after all, the idea is to be in the cockpit.

So on that logic it shouldn't be modelled,very strange.Don't forget you are not always in the cockpit with it shut.Don't forget that if and when the game opens up as was supposed to happen in the future where you can do other things such as ground AAA duties you would need to hear them then.
It should be modelled and properly,it is a huge part of the sim.

Besides, external sounds and flybys are a feature of this sim. If it's going to be done, then it should be done right. I've never understood the thinking that "This is the way you should be enjoying the sim -- MY way. YOUR way is wrong!" Because I happen to enjoy -bigtime- going external frequently to watch -- and hear -- the action from that perspective it's wrong? Or not as important????

Devs: please fix the sounds that need fixing. Especially the Merlin external and flyby sounds.

IMHO, all sounds should be done correctly, not just those that interest a few.

what is wrong with you? the sound are still beta! they still working on it and they will still be in beta after this official patch.

then don't worry... and don't ask dev to work on sound...they already do it!

What is wrong with me? Four things:

1) People who tell me what to think
2) People who tell me what to say
3) People who tell me what to do
4) The Merlin external and flyby sounds

The first three problems I have comes from marrying an American. She got me into this freedom of expression thing which annoys those who know better than me how I should conduct myself. The last problem is my British ancestry, in which the sound of a Merlin engine is in our genes and in our blood which can be very annoying to flight simulation developers.

Other than that, everything is just hunky dory, mate!
