lets make a stand on the supresion of binaural sound in the game

That clip must be from the original version of CoD when it was released last year. Look at the bouncing tachometer needle -- the authentic mechanical version before it got "dumbed down" to the steadier non-authentic electrical tach based on "fans' complaints"!

Good call Snapper

I love the mechanic needle of that video, I want that back soo badly !!

We loses some things with the "fans" complains and others things in the optimization try in the old graphics engine, like the exhaust muzzles in others planes (there exhaust muzzles in the player air plane only)

I hope you guys are taking notes for a strike back


About the binaural sound ...

Im not sure but I think that there a problem of compatibility with the extended surround systems, it only work on stereo settings, maybe is that why it gets dropped.

BS ! A lot of research was done to eradicate the unrealistic BS bouncing tacho. Research included talking to current spitfire pilots using RR Merlins (Mechanical Direct drive tachos) and Packard Merlins with Electrical drive tachos. In addition the relevant Maintenance engineers were talked to. In all cases both the pilots and the engineers stated unequivocally that little or no Bounce occurred in either of the systems..... This was the reason it was removed.

What you have done is taken the mechanical tachometer and replaced it with an electric tachometer of todays world. Needle bounce and squeaking noises, not to mention their inherent inaccuracy were the technology of that time and era....that's why they were in the game in the first place, change your opinion and get it back ASAP.

No these aircraft are using original components.

Kiss binural sound goodbye. From hearing the audio recode, I would make a guess that ability has for now been written out.
Although the sound we have now for sure has better samples, its a sound mod and nothing more, the complexity of the audio code has been removed for simplicity.

IvanK, you may disagree with my interpretation of Luthier's explanation re mechanical vs electrical tachometer; and that's fine. Obviously you have further information on this and it's good to share it with the rest of us.

However, I take great offense to your "BS" comment. This is not a schoolyard. I don't know you, you don't know me. But show a little more respect, will you?

There can be no serious evidence, because facts are difficult things to change. What gets me, is how the team bows to any criticism and makes these changes to pacify a few loud voices(even when they know its wrong...and so I ask what next). Its not just the tachometer that has been change, to an arcade level of presentation.
