Engine sounds are disappointing

I'm certain its because the overspeed or in this case over rev sound effect has not been added in.
See the way it would work would be the high engine RPM sound will fade out to say -3db and at the same time the Overspeed sound will fade in to say +3db. Then the reverse to return to normal.

This shows also that the sounds are very far from complete with wholey missing files too.

Oh, BTW, if anyöne considers sound to be less important for immersion and atmosphere, get hold of a copy of "Dead Space'. A game that really shows why sound can make an incredible difference! CloD sounds awful externally, I hope we can get a Jafa or Tiger sound mod in the future. Cheers MP

Ofcourse it's ticked smartass. It's ticked at default, I ticked it back and forth a few times, ticked it again and after my fifth chute that failed to open in a row, I went back to the pilot page and assured that it was ticked. The pilot also wears the bloody thing when I watch him plummet into his death. lol

I'd say that in many cases it sounds awful even internally. MG's on the 109 sounds like some dude is hitting a bongo drum. No person can concince me that that's sound resonance from a metal cockpit. Not when you have the MG's directly and un-dampened directly in front of your nose. On the outside they sound kewl though, in contradiction to the moped engine.

Yeah work on that viking attitude of yours please, I was trying to help.

secondly, about the parachute, you're doing it wrong.

I've seen this happen on occasion with other AI parachutists, so I assume there is some kind of % chance that the chute will fail (just like in real life). Maybe you are just winning the lottery over and over again

Who said anything about "viking attitude" lol, that Viking crap was just fooling around my man.

But yeah, I've read up on it now and apparently the Germans had a crappy success rate of chute opening or not IRL too! But how am I doing it wrong? The pilot wears a chute, jettison canopy, bail out and wait for him to open the chute. I can see him pulling the release chord and everything.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings. "Smartass" is hardly anything I'd say if I really wanted to tick someone off so you surprised me a bit there. You were just stating the obvious and that *wink* led me on to that maybe you trolled just a little.

no worries, there are presumably many trolls living in Norway, but I am not one. Try screaming at the guys packing your chutes at base and wave your Lüger around a little in his face. No honestly, seriously I think it's completely random.

Peace..

Sounds are probably placeholders, so I stopped whining. I'm waiting for some info when we can expect proper ones. These current sounds are bad even for a joke. The devs are probably working on the final ones, so I sit back and wait. I hope it will match the fantastic eye candy we got.
