For space being a vacuum, we sure can hear in Freespace 1 and ESPECIALLY in Freespace 2! Would it really kill simulations like these to limit sounds to:

a. music

b. sounds inside the cockpit (gears, levers, buttons beeps, comp nitifications (heart beat/breathing?(to follow the tension/danger of any situation)) etc)

c. transmissions

d. weapons' impacts/collisions/any damage to ship

f. weapons fire (YOUR weapons fire), as it would sound from inside

and NOTHING ELSE. Space is a vacuum after all.

We just had this conversation. Run a search and you'll see what people think of it.

[kode]

what is these simulations you're all whining about? fs is not, and has never been, to my knowledge, a simulation.

oh, and what karajorma say

[Overlord]

So why got fs2 so many simulation awards?

Simulation=Simulates something

FS Simulates space travel, therefore it is a simulator.

Because that would be bloody boring. Realism is teh lame, especially in a space simulator.

The ship's computer provides audio cues to increase the situational awareness of the pilot.

The music is calming, which helps the pilot stay focused.

Problem solved.

Not kill simulation. Will kill game.

FFS the other thread about this is till on the first page!!!!

[Nuke]

simulators do not suck. atmosphereic flight has to be realisticly simulated to be fun for me. spaceflight on the other hand, is no fun with full on physics.

[Sinsearach]

Realism kills them? Riiiiight...well you have to draw the line somewhere. Specifically: we're in space, correct? I don't want to hear another ship zipping past with a *WOOSH* like I passed some car on the freeway where there is plenty of AIR; OR and explosion thats a mile away assuming the same damn thing! *sigh* lets just add some spells and elves...

BTW, it may be in the FUTURE, but it's still more simulation than anything, no discussion.

[aldo_14]

I would say that FS2 is as much of a simulation as R-type or Gradius are/were.

It would be boring. I don't care if it's realistic or not, but it wouldn't be half as exciting without all those sounds. It's like watching an action film but only hearing the voices. No impact.

What he said. The army (air force) is allready experimenting with audio simulation helmets...

[kode]

if you don't want the sounds, effin edit the effin .vps.

[aldo_14]

NB: What does FS2 actually simulate, anyways?

I hope you aren't serious guys...
