Nice stuff, many thanks

Can I just say though that the roundels still look 'wrong' in colouring

Luthier,
Are you happy with the sounds of CoD? For example, engine noise, gun effects, etc.. Can you post a quick vid of the sounds at full blast? Are the sounds .wav files? Synthesized ? On a further note, can you hear outside noises such as other aircraft from within your own cockpit in flight?

We're still working on sounds. Engine and gun sounds are pretty good in my opinion, but a lot of people will take some time to get used to them because they're not what you expect, especially guns as heard from inside the cockpit. We got some funny bug reports about that from some beta testers.

You can hear outside noises, yes. As you should. We can argue this based both on memoirs and on scientific formulas.

good, i think you hear a shoot inside the cockpit more mechanic as a explosion

Oleg and Luthier,

Thank you for taking the time to give us our addiction this week

Very lovely screenies and video. I know you guys are working tremendously hard. I know your whole intent is to release a sim that will do what it says. If that means holding back some features, so be it. I'd much rather have a sim that starts on the ground running than a few I've boughten that are still bug infested. Thanks for being upfront and honest. That's pretty much all anyone can ask for. I too wish other people knew what WIP means as well

I can't wait for a copy to be in my hands!

Cheers and Thanks!

What sort of outside noises? Other aircraft? Can you point to the memoirs and formulas? I would like to see the arguments that you can hear much that goes on outside the cockpit.

I have modern video record where the sound of P-39 we may hear from another fighter from which this record was done. And it was done with the professional equipment but not with the light, small and simple camcoder that can record nothing really (most records on youtube are done exactly by camcoders with internal mics).... or by other words don't selectively working like it is with the system of Human ears + brain...

Another my own experinece in yak-52 flying near the Yak-18T... I was able to hear and to define the directions of outside flying plane flying some 30 menters near my plane... And I was in a helment that is very similar to WWII time...

Also, please tell me, can the bullet hit to the wing of the aircratf hear the pilot? If you will say me can, then I will put here the real measurement of the sound from the hit of bullet to the wing and the sound of fighter propeller (not the engine even!) on a distance of the 50 meters in decibels for comparison. Then you will tell me who is right

Hi Oleg...I'm just wondering about the level of detail we can expect to hear in the damage model? How much damage (and what kind of damage) can we expect to hear in the game? Will various kinds of engine damage be modeled (differently) in the sound engine...can we expect to hear a damaged piston? Or will the engine sounds indicate damage as the oil leaks out?

Thanks for your hard work...

[julien673]

Can propeller be damaged ? very big vibration... ? If the windows are damaged... what append ?

Tks so much for all the awnser, i was tired of all this post about the green colours of the field......
