Sounds in SF/WOV Too Loud

[+Dave 2,322]

Does anyone besides me think the engine sounds are too loud?

 

I have ridden in a F-4 so had Wolf257 and with the helmet on you couldnt hear much. Even in AB it didnt get much louder. My point is I am thinking about flushing the sounds to make them quiter. But need somE thoughts on it.

Easy...wear a helmet while you're playing!

Personally, I think it depends on which engine effect you're talking about. The afterburner effect Xle2 bugs the heck outta me, which is why I usually replace it with JetBurner or something else; too loud and too high-pitched for my taste, but to each their own.

With a helmet on, all you can hear is a whine. AB is a rumble. The most correct sound is the breathing. Who thought of that?

The sounds can be toned down easily with out flushing them.

 

This can be done with sound recorder which is included in windows...it can be found under start/programs/accessories/entertainment/sound recorder.

 

 

Once you choose the sound you want go to effects and decrease sound to your liking. Works both ways if you have a sound that is to low just increase.

 

Don't forget to save

There is a file you can tweak to reduce the cockpit noise. In the soundlist ini. you will find these entries.

 

[JetEngine]

Priority=NORMAL

3DSound=TRUE

DopplerEffect=TRUE

Looped=TRUE

FrequencyControl=TRUE

NumBuffers=4

MaxDist=1500.000000

MinDist=100.000000

InsideConeAngle=60

OutsideConeAngle=180

ConeOutsideVolume=90 Try reducing this to 20.

 

[JetBurner]

Priority=NORMAL

3DSound=TRUE

DopplerEffect=TRUE

Looped=TRUE

NumBuffers=4

MaxDist=2000.000000

MinDist=100.000000

InsideConeAngle=60

OutsideConeAngle=90

ConeOutsideVolume=40 Try 20 here as well.

 

Any adjustments made to these entries will effect any add on engine sounds as well. The cone angles seem to define the loud and quiet areas. After editing the soundlist Ini. put it in the flight folder. Hope this helps.

Cheers.
