A lot of people are unhappy with the sound but I think the sounds are fairly good.
The most complained about are the gun sounds - but they seem fine when you consider you are in a cockpit and with engine and wind noise combined altering the frequency's you would hear dramatically. Just the speed you are traveling at would create big drop offs in higher frequency's to someone sitting in the plane while the guns are firing.

External view sounds don't really matter to me - I spend 99.99% of time on internal view and only use external for screenshots.


The speakers you use matter lots.

Getting nice speakers that actually move some air will make a big difference. Headphones are fail unless you shell out for some good Sennheisers or similar.

If you want decent sound - never buy computer brands like logitech etc... plastic boxes with 1 or 2 inch drivers and fake ports and fake wattages printed on them will never sound good.

For sound I use Edirol(Roland) MA20D's connected with optical cable to an old WAMI24 Interface and the game sounds great.

Most people don't realize that sound gear is just like graphics cards - need good powerful gear or you will get low quality results.
