Title: little feature request: adding a sound for rear thrusters.
Post by: torc on December 26, 2011, 05:54:08 pm

As title said, i'd like to have the chance to add a loop sound for rear thrusters.
if this could be possible should be great.

At the moment, when you go backward, ship don't make any sound...

thanks in advance

Try adding an invisible maneuvering thruster with a sound you want, triggered by going backwards. Unless their sounds are still broken.

Is there a mantis issue for that problem ?

yeah...i already thought about that...i was thinking it's just an hackish solution and IIRC the rcs thrusters code is very buggy ATM... maybe a patch is more stabile and clean :)

Also, technically, you're asking for a sound for the fore thrusters. Your aft thrusters, the main engines, already have one.

it would be enough if the main cockpit engine sound works with the rear ship movement too...or better, have the chance to assign another sound...in this way there's no need to make a ''fake'' RCS thruster for make it work as Dragon suggested.

I believe FringeSpace may have a use for this should it be implemented, as we have different sounds for every stage of thrust pretty much. (back, forward, glide, burn, accelerating)
