Silent explosions in 4.34
-
After updating to 4.34 (19631) I noticed that missiles that hit me don’t make a sound anymore.
When i get hit by a missile, there is no loud bang, but suddenly silence (from my avionics).
This happened in training TEs, Dogfight and Instant Action and with all missiles that hit me since the update.Just get hit by any missile and you will notice that there is no audible “bang” anymore.
You will still get killed by missiles, so it’s sound only.Thanks in advance for fixing this

What are you sound slider settings?
Apart of it … IRL, one would probably never hear missile detonation. Maybe only the shrapnel piercing the cockpit …
-
In the trainers I’ve flown there are no (or very, very few) exterior sounds at all…so I generally turn them all down to zero in BMS as well.

To be honest I’m glad those explosion sounds are gone. Almost always gave me a semi heart attack. It’s enough that I’m out of the game, don’t need to get scared in real life too.

Actually, I have a (German) book where an Argentinian Mirage pilot claimed that he DID hear the explosion when his plane was hit by a Sidewinder.
He stated that it sounded like someone popped a bag next to his head.But I do understand that the gone explosion sounds are not a bug, but were removed intentionally.

This would be indeed more relevant.
But ATM, some air and ground explosions are sharing the same sound samples (particles sys definition has to be checked) and crating dedicated sounds and reviewing the entire particle.sys may takes a long time (?) …
So it could be on my to do list (as already but I temporarily gave up) later.

Have to say, even collisions are silent in my experience. KTO, Hornets. Don’t ask.
EDIT: that is without earplugs, it’s a bit more shiny and captures attention for videos, until I reverse back to “with”
-
Also air to air missile launches sounds are gone if I am not mistaken.
I think there could be more sounds that disappeared since this last update.
Perhaps related to the new radio channels filtering audio now?
Just hoping we won’t loose sounds in the end and just calling it more realistic.Cheers Obi1

Not only missiles, but cannon hits from aircraft seem to be non audible as well.
Was flying along and a 23 snuck up on me and we got into a turn fight. All the sudden the plane went dark and I had no idea what happened. Watched the ACMI in Tacview and saw that he hit me with guns.
I would think a cannon round which hit the plane would make some noise.

The sound effects have been changed in 4.34. Adjust the sound effects slider higher and you should get explosions, guns, missile launch. I have it on 7 and can hear all those like 4.33
Should add also the external sounds in cockpit slider should be up also, I have that on 5. You need to do some testing and experimenting to get it how you want.

Public believes. Once you have flown for real in a fighter jet you can better understand that anything behind you is not necessarily audible unless directly in the vicinity of the cockpit.
Also air to air missile launches sounds are gone
Nope (depending on your sound settings and if you are using a headset or desktop speakers => for a given setting rendition is not the same)

Played around with sound settings of effects and more to without earplugs and sounds are back! even noticed sound I never heard yet, while under G turn. Pretty cool now. Cheers Obi1
