Neither I did, not sure about the first statement either.

Well, for a lot of ppl this problem exists. I can hear aircrafts around me very neatly and so do others. If you do not hear it then either it is your soundcard or some specific settings I think.

EDIT: This sound radar is btw here since the very start of Clod but perhaps it got worse with the new sounds (which improved sound wise though)

Question: Has sound radar already been added to the bugtracker? It is less now but still present in latest beta patch when sitting in a spit. One still can clearly hear the 109 whizzle even with closed cockpit.

I still can see some of the Spits flying with canopy open on the video. Guess why

It exists.

In my Hurricane I hear all other aircraft to some degree, more with the cockpit open. I often hear a sneaky 109 before I see it. Comforting but not realistic.

thats false...you can definitely hear other airplanes inside your own cockpit in clod...which shouldnt be the case(though i have to confess that it sounds nice)

maybe it should be optional in the difficulty settings...

another thing which i dont like is the fact that many fly with open canopy online.i would suspect that in real life not many pilots would fly with an open canopy, except for take offs and landings maybe.

Switching on your reflector sight makes a click which is loud enough to be heard over a thousand horsepower engine. You can also hear bullets impact on a machine 100m ahead of you. While your airframe will scream louder than a T-rex, yet the wings will stay on.

I agree with the fact that research must be done because a blanket would be unrealistic. For example, the japanese called the corsair "the whistleing death" for a reason. Meaning they must have heard the high frequency turbo or supercharger at some point in an ambush. I only fly the 109 on atag so havent paid attention to the loudness of the 109 engine or its sound profile. I have noticed spits breaking when i approach from 600 low right before i pull the trigger though. If all you hear is the turbo, maybe this is semi correct but just too loud? Maybe you would heara the high frequency tubo, but just not until the 109 is a lot closer??? Dont know, but the possabilities definately suggest research be done prior to a decission being made. I have a feeling the correct answer is somewhere similar as mentsioned by a few posters and as i described above. High or low frequencies not produced by ones own engine should probibly not be completely drowned out at extremely close distances. Then again, i could be wrong.

yes of course...i have also seen many photos where pilots fly with an open canopy....but i suspect that they travel pretty slow when the canopy is open..and pretty low as well.but certainly not during combat situations.
