Anyone playing in 5.1 tried the Ambisonic?

I can't say if it works well in Stereo but the Ambisonic Native is much better defined sound. Try it.
Now if only they would fix the bug where the wheel sounds don't stop when you get in the air...

I am running Ambisonic with 5.1 so far I think it is the best Sound option. Should also work with 7.1.

Is it working now!? Beta Patch?

[LT.INSTG8R]

Works fine here and is the best sound choice available IMHO.

I'm using Ambisonic too, with headphones, gives what seems to me to be a more full sound, haven't really analyzed it though.

Just as a side-note, can't use anything but 'Stereo' when exporting AVI's out of the track player, or the sound disappears altogether, but I don't think anyone's using that feature and you can just switch back and forth anyway. Just thought I'd mention it.

Not sure, I understand the intent of this post, but just so you know, binaural uses stereo output, with added reverb and delays, an early and rather poor attempt at producing 3d sound using two speakers. Ambisonc, is simply an alternative method for encoding surround sound using multiple channels, and offers advantages in systems where sound comes from every direction and recreates a far more accurate soundstage, as opposed to a definitive sound stage directly in front of the listener.

However, one point for those choosing Ambisonc, it uses cpu cycles to decode without dedicated Ambisonc hardware, and will not make use of any other sound hardware for decoding, this will cause a hit to fps in systems where the cpu may be the limiting factor.

I've tried both Surround and Ambisonic (I have 5.1 speakers) and although I can hear sound from my rear speakers in both modes I hear no variation in output when turning my head in the cockpit. Does surround actually work in this game re positioning ect, or is it also broken/bugged?
