sound radar is back ... naaaaaaah!

If it was pointed at me: sorry if my allusion to your "supersenses" did not come over as a jokingly teasing as it was meant to be.

And I also did not want to come over as not taking into consideration your opinion. I just have a different one and I expressed it. This was in no way meant to depreciate yours.

Thanks

I tried to fly the Hurri, with canopy open/closed. With the open canopy I saved myself from a sneaking attack of a 109, thanks to the sound radar. It's unbelievable, I heard the 109 from far away, on my low six ... Now I understand why many Hurricanes fly with open canopies.
Do something, please!

Absolutely!!! For us Hurricane pilots it's a bloody nuisance. There we are cruising along with canopy open, enjoying the sound of the rushing wind and unrestricted view, when that blasted supercharger whine intrudes into our blissful reverie and.......OUR SCREENS GO BLACK!!!!! Every bloody time!!! We have to exit and respawn each time! Obviously a sound bug which causes this glitch to occur time and again!

LOL! I would call it a minengeschoss hug, rather than a sound bug

Very good! Us 56'ers tend to suffer the same fate.
I just wish the 109 vulchers over Manston on ATAG would distinguish between us Hurris and the Spit IIs.

Seriously, the devs need to adjust the sound for the apparent wind speed and direction. There's no way we should hear 109s behind us at 200mph!

I have been in the tail gunner position of the Texas Raider (B-17) while the Gunfighters P-51 came in for a photo op. He approached and overtook within 50'-75' and I never heard anything. He then formed up right on the starboard wing and from the waist gunner position I heard nothing.

From the waist gun position through the bomb bay you can literally yell as loud as you can 6 inches from someone's ear and the only thing you will notice is that the engine sound changes slightly at the same time you feel their breath hit your ear. Nothing even intelligible as a voice can be distinguished.

You might be able to feel some sounds like the "CRUMP" of AAA or maybe a machine cannon firing 10-15 yards away but that would be it.

Other than that, if it didn't hit your aircraft, my experience is that you would not be able to hear it.
