Sound cutting out when diving

[Continu0]

Hi

To my knowledge, this is accurate. The engine cuts out because there is no fuel coming into the engine and because of that you don`t hear anything. RPM drops. It`s certainly not a bug, the game is meant to be like this.

I really believe that this is accurate because engine-sound is not the sound from the engine turning, but the mini-explosions (=burning fuel) in the engine... and that is what stops when you push your nose down...

I fear there is no fix to that, but if you want to, you can lower the realism-settings so that negative G`s don`t have an effect....

Sorry

Really? are you sure about this?

I'm very surprised if it is supposed to be this way, when I fly, I cant hear anything from the engine through my speakers when i dive like this, just wind noise and creaking, whereas if i do this in 1946 with hsfx7 i can hear the engine losing rpm until it cuts out and it is not just silent.

the sound just cuts out completely even if my engine still has a few thousand rpm and turned on - no low rpm sound.

If I am wrong, this is quite an annoying feature compared to the way it works in 1946, maybe it is something with my speakers? I will watch the video on a different computer and see.

Thank you for the reply, if someone could confirm that this is correct, I would appreciate it.

Hi

At least it was like that for me as well - since day one of this game. I don`t fly red that much, but I can`t remember that it was different at some point. And if I am correct, even with the stock version of 1946 you had similiar effects in the CR42 for example.

To avoid sound bugs in Cliffs, please turn up the volume in cliffs to 100% and reduce the volume afterwards with the windows-mixer (alt + tab to the desktop and select the mixer from the task bar, you can set the volume for every running process there...)

Cheers!

Alright thanks for the reply!

I understand that it is realistic for the rpms to drop as fuel is cut off, but with no sound to indicate this it kind of breaks immersion for me . I guess i will have to start flying blue

cheers!

Sound cutting out on the early RR engines was a known fact with pilots in the Spits and Hurricanes, it didn't happen with the 109's because of the fuel injected engine. The RR engines were carb fuel fed and cut out when the nose of the aircraft was pushed down with the joystick. This was a fault that the 109 pilots knew about and used to their advantage. The problem was initially over come by fitting a washer if I remember correctly about the size of a penny (old coinage) into the carb with a hole in it (this allowed the fuel to pass through but was small enough to stop the fuel draining back when the aircraft was put into a dive. Hence the knick name "Miss Penny's orifice", later engines became fuel injected as technology developed.
