4-12 wish list (Merged)

All in one patch to be installed over 4.07. I don't know why is this being overlooked with every patch that comes out.

+2. If there was built in widescreen support I wouldn't need any "mods" at all.

Please remove the sonar completely. Many folks still use it, turning the volume really loud on their headsets in order to hear nearby planes. Risking ear damage for a game is not cool. Even without headsets, one can still hear other planes when they are real near.

If it's an engine issue, i'd opt for a drastic measure, like disabling ALL sounds not coming from one's own plane when in cockpit view.

With 6DOF everyone's ability to scan the sky for bandits has improved, let's get rid of the sonar.

i dissagree. seriously, you want to be gliding with a dead engine and have a p47 come past at full throttle within 10 meters of you...SILENTLY!!!...

these wernt car engines on a highway, they didnt have mufflers, they were loud.

i think the jg27 guys fly fw190s...if you want to aproach silently:

1) dive with your engine idled, pitch to maximum feather.
2) try matching your revs to the doppler equivelent of the enemy planes revs.

TD cannot be responsible for irisponsible behaviour of a few, and shouldnt be asked to create 'stealth planes' to aid in sneaky tactics.

Sorry shauncm, didn't know you're such a gliding fan. 99% of us actually have their enigne on most of the time.

Thanks for the headsup, been doing exactly that for 6 years. However, it's not at all realistic.

If the game engine does not allow removal of the sonar, developers could eliminate all sounds not being produced by one's plane (read: sounds from nearby planes), as long as the plane's engine is on. If you're into gliding and your engine is off, outside sounds should be enabled.
How does that sound?

Seriously guys, sitting in a plane with a roaring 1000+ hp engine, with a headset on to exclude some of the noise and understand radio transmissions, pilots shouldn't be able to hear any sounds from nearby planes. I'm asking for a basic feature that should have been part of the game from day one. Quite possible the sonar was a feature introduced to make succesful surprize attacks less probable and thus help sell the game. Yet, most pilots shot down in ww2 never saw the plane that attacked them.

TBH, as much as you hate the sonar it is debatable that one can not hear a plane flying near by. Yes, not 1 km away (sonar). But close near by - see above posts.
