Thanks for those ones, incredible. 109 passes are quite awful too.
Hear that whistling particularly at 6'00" (BF 109 Black 6 practice display pt1).
The low pass at 3'30" (BF 109 Black 6 Practice pt2) is awful too.

Regards,
J-F

Ok. The onboard sounds of the aircraft would be muted, and as for exact sounds for individual aircraft/engines probably beyond the developers but, what we all can agree on is the sounds of the original aircraft are evocative and distinctive, something they are not in COD.
The sound in COD is awfull. It feels very much like an afterthought or a temporary solution.Its not just the engine sounds either. That constant sound you get inside the cockpit even when the engine isnt running or the plane moving is horrible. just sloppy.
I got hit by flak in the wing and heard nothing,no bangs no sound at all.
If I land and switch off the engine I would like to hear the "ticking" of the cooling engine, that little thing would make my day. Its all about attention to detail, all these little things done correctly would add up to the whole experience of COD being great.
To be honest my greatest worry is the steam anticheat system will ruin the game for modders and lead to severe delays in any added improvements. This game has been so long in development, needs so many improvements and patches and then with the emphasis on addon packs etc to generate cashflow, the exclusion of the mod community how long will we have to wait for a comprehensive redoing of the in game sounds ? My guess is forever.

Now let's be completely fair here....

If you were to fly a 109, or spitfire without a headset of some sort or helmet, you would go insane or damage your hearing. The sound inside a cockpit of a fighter is just too loud to be able to sustain it for hours. I think also that the effect of wearing headsets will not only dampen the volume, but also mask some of the higer pitch sounds, removing some of the so-called "fidelity" from it. If you were listening to that 109CD sample with real-life cockpit volume for a 1 hour sortie, you'd be bleeding from your ears or begging it to stop by the time you shut down the engine. When working around the F-16's we're adviced to use both earplugs AND headsets/helmets both to dampen the noise of the intercom and the intake whine. I'd go completely nuts without both sets of hearing protection. Yes I know the f-16 is not a WWII fighter, but still, flying those machines without hearing protection must be highly uncomfortable.

So can we agree that to acheive a "realistic" cockpit engine sound, we need to take into account that the sound is "filtered" a little through the headset?

We should use the sound at loudest as speaker permits and use the headset, that would be realistic, but drive the neighboor crazy ...

I assume a filtered noise engine would be great. Eventually an option to let one the choice for filtered or unfiltered, which basically should be high pitch filtered ? Is this right ? But I think this is either dreaming or too soon to ask for.

Thanks for the 109 engine vid, great one. At the end, the wind noise get very lound, really superb.

Of course. But i'm not talking about filtering here, you can put your fingers on your ears and then listen to messerschmitt clip again. STILL completely different
to cod sounds right? I don't mean to be rude, i just try to highlight my point with my "not so perfect" english
But i believe we will have sound mods quite soon so i not that worried after all...
