steve31000 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Had a great morning flight this evening around the city. All we need is the sound of the hustle and bustle and it'd be real.

Phil Manhart Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Don't forget the fighters escorting you to Hillsboro after flying over downtown in a Cessna... Great shots Steve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 True about the city noises, never thought about that. We have scenery packs now that play nature noises, birds chirping and aircaft engines starting up. Why not have environment noises for the city.

steve31000 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Don't forget the fighters escorting you to Hillsboro after flying over downtown in a Cessna... Lol With the new Captain Sim and VRS weapons add-ons coming somebody will be able to shoot me down! True about the city noises, never thought about that. We have scenery packs now that play nature noises, birds chirping and aircaft engines starting up. Why not have environment noises for the city. My feelings exactly. In my opinion, sounds add so much immersion to FSX. I absolutely adore the sounds that Orbx have added to some of their add-on airports and also BOB. It changes the atmosphere entirely. I landed on the river (Columbia??) that runs through Portland before I took these pictures and cut the engines. I was trying to imagine how cool it would be if the eery silence could be replaced by a lapping of water and the noise of traffic in the distance and maybe some gulls overhead. I don't want to underestimate the difficulties of adding noise to environments in FSX due to limitations etc. but if it's not too difficult, I believe that this would be an excellent addition to the immersion level in cities/towns. I have an add-on from another company of a certain German Island in the North Sea and they achieved placing these sounds around the island including church bells in the town centre and the sound of waves hitting the shoreline. We now have people flow, why not noise flow? Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shots I would not be surprised if you have just given the folks at Orbx an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
