I read other topic over sound and i think lost really point.
Sorry if this topic already discused, but one thing i hate and is worst in this sim is the "ability" of pilots with 5.1 headphones hear one plane in your six all times... i hate this, lots of shot down in WW2 are of surprised pilots, and with 5.1 none have surprise advantage.
I know i purchase this gadget and have same exploit...
Is out of discussion one pilot with engine of 3000CV one meter behind dont hear other engine plane at 100 meters no??
Sorry for me very bad english.

When sound Hardware Acceleration is turned off the planes can be heard as if the pilot was outside of his plane, ie. a LOOOOONG way away.
With the H. Acceleration on, a proper cockpit resonace and external sound muffling is modelled.
Many people turn the acceleration off to gain a tactical advantage from hearing the enemy planes approach.
Turning the acceleration off puts additional load on the CPU and the sound is of worse quality.

Thats question...
Disable posibility of few pilots hear enemy planes on six, i sacrifice external sound or quality of sounds for one more step to reality (i hate people use exploits for say "i the best).
S!

Simply: Fly German, you never will hear an aircraft getting in your six

Yes some "cheaters" disable hardware acceleration in sound setup and they are hearing sound of engine plane at their six.
I have many situation when i was attacking enemy from rear down area (death point) and when i was really close yet not shoting he suddenly break like he heard me.
These really need to be fixed to prevent such "cheating".

We went over all of this a year ago with quite a lot of evidence but it was decided that the "fun game" aspect of sound was more important than the "realism" aspect. I think it also has to do with the limitations of the sound engine as well.

Well then, make 'hardware acceleration' a realism option instead of a sound option. Simple solution perhaps.

Anyone been on the tarmac at a busy airport ??
you can hear aircraft 'miles' away in an enclosed CPit.
