New patch, new sounds????
 

Hi all,

Congrats first with this new forum. I hope its gonna be a decent and fair one. :wink:
Reason for reg in here: Last days there a lot discussion going on about the new sounds circling arround.
I understand some dont like it, at first the game makers.
Question: is there anew patch coming with these new sounds??? I hope so, cus i really find these sounds an awesome upgrade for the game. Now you hear the engine like it is in real.

I hope not offending anyone here .

Greetings

Well, you can ask Oleg in his Room.

I'll be suprised if 1C can include the sounds from the sound-hack, because no-one knows where those sounds have come from, and they could be from a copyright source like someone else's sim or a commercial DVD. It's a lot of work to record a complete set of aircraft sounds and whoever did it would probably be upset with 1C taking their work without permission and putting it in a patch. Bad enough that the hacker's done it but the hacker's already breaking the rules.

The existing sounds are OK I think, once you set attenuation=0 in the conf.ini.

quick question, what does setting attenuation=0 in conf. ini do?

btw, they can't use the sounds from that hack. Those were apparently from CFS3!

Attenuation can be set between 0 and 7 I think. The lower the settings, the less you'll hear sounds from outside your own aircraft. Set it to 7, and you'll hear people starting their engines on an airfield while you're halfway to the target, and when someone's sneaking up behind you you'll hear their engine. Set it to 0 and you'll only hear things which are really close. I think it's more realistic - it's certainly more immersive than using your ears to detect enemy aircraft!

okay, thanks, Dozer.

Yeah, thats interesting, I never knew that either.
Seven years down the line, and still learning something new....
another reason I love this sim so much!
:P

In wich section one have to write this attenuation=0 line?

I'm not sure how this attenuation works. I believe the default setting is "7" and I've never heard another aircraft sneaking up on me, and I've been flying IL-2 since the beta test days. The only way I used to get kills was sneaking up on them on their low six, now they break just before I get the shot. It aggrivates me to no end when I hear people on comms talking about hearing other aircraft around them. I hope it something that can be corrected for the SOW series.


attenuation=7 in the Sound section Foobar
