Project Reality Forums

First of all, who would like any of the sound effects changed?

And if so, which ones? I have recieved many PM's and people on the servers asking telling me what sounds they'd like to have changed so I would like to get some feedback. remmeber, this is Project "Reality" and imho the weapon sounds should be at least real enough to get that ambience and overall immersion affect. So far .85 has been a great improvement as far as sound goes but there are some that have not been changed due to overbearing task for Jaymz so he wasn't able to do much for them at the time because of the deadline. On the other hand alot of the sounds really didn't need to be changed but I think there should be some added to the game to increase that "Reality" feel. I know a lot of you out there like that Movie like sound and some will say some sounds are "right on the dot" sounding real and others will think they are fine. i have been helping with the sound effects and have decided to at least give the weapon sound effects and some explosion etc. a little "in between" real and movie like just to keep everyone happy and not complicate things. So please post your 2 cents. No I'm not going to add clown horns and 'boooga" type sounds to the insurgent cars and "comic book" pows and bangs to the guns.

Well, for some odd reason (it might be me though) the firing sound of the L85 is the only one which bugs me. It's a high quality sound, but it doesn't sound, well...(can't really describe it with words) not very clear. Most other weapons have some sort of 'plok' sound. While the L85 has 'plokggg' sound, to say it very basic. I never fired a L85, so I can't say whether the sound is realistic or not. It's just one thing that noticed me, and sometimes tends to annoy me. If you guys understand what I'm trying to say. I'm also having a bit the same thing with the British GPMG on the Landrover when compared to other MG's. Btw, am I the only one who get's a little bit annoyed by this, or are there other people with the same thing?

P.S. The Vanilla Minigun sound is horrible!

I am not sure if this is part of what you had inb mind, but much more variation and improvement in helicopter interior and exterior sounds, although I can see how impossible thats going to be.

Thinking Apache, Cobra, Blackhawk, MI-17, Havoc, scout helis etc, not the huey which already has an awesome sound.

Also, 1p rocket firing sounds, hydras, hellfires, mavericks, aa missiles etc perhaps. 3p motor is pretty cool, but the 1p/3p firing sound could use some attention.

I don't find the gun sounds to be too far off. I wouldn't mind better sounds with .50 cals and other bigger guns, when they hit something. ATM .50 cals don't sound to loud when they hit nearby you.

Better hit sounds woujld be better overall, imo. Some vehicles still need a sound tweak, because I can't find any sources showing that they've changed to ultra-quiet Hybrid engines (that's right, humvee, I'm looking at you).

Over all, the sounds are excellent though. Helicopters should have better hit detection, and I'm not sure if it's realistic to hear an RPG pass you by while in the air, but it sure is awesome otherwise.

I'd like jets that sound more like jets and less like hairdryers.

(the A-10 is fine though)

Also +1 on the miniguns. There was a new sound for it during one of the 0.8 test builds but it got reverted back to original one or two builds before release (I don't know why), it wasn't perfect but it was better then what we have today.

Primary weapons need to be changed,most of them sound like a dull pound with no crack at the end.Chammys sound mod and the fdf one were pretty good at covering the ambience of the battlefield.I would also like to see the heli gunships missle sounds changed,as you can hear in this video it sounds like a roar when the missles are fired. LiveLeak.com - Apache Gun Run On Taliban Fighters Afghanistan, LiveLeak.com - Apache helicopter firing on a house in Balad - Iraq. Ingame it should be way louder.

the jets yes because when they fly low or fly right by you you should hear this loud roaring sound and possibly a sonic boom or that sound that you get when a explosion goes off near you.

Real jets are LOUD, even at high altitude.

Imagine an A-10 flying as low as they do in PR, with its GAU-8 spinning...by the time it fires, the noise of the engines will have deafened the target anyway.

+1 for louder jets.

PKM, i think it sound to much vanilla....

And the minguns..

I live by a major repair base for A-10s and they are rather quite when flying, even whey they are low and preparing for landing. F-16's however are rather loud while flying.

I would personally like a better tank gun sound, from most of the videos It has a louder boom followed by like a "whoosh" sound.

i want that the watersound get fixed on battle of Qinling that gets buggy on veryhigh sounddetails i can hear the water everywhere
thats my ownly wish

Everything louder. I know it's a game, but i mean, firing blanks in a pretend firefight and that is fracking loud, it should be crazy loud for extra funs

the SA80 needs Chammy Love

+1 for new helicopter engine/rotorblade sounds.

there is some kind of bug with AK-47 reloading sound, dunno how to explain it, but make sound louder and will hear it, tried other AKs, they have no such strange thing

the pain sounds because they are from operation flashpoint and are a bit annoying

+ 5 For Scots Reply.

Ahh very good, thank you gentlemen, I am taking notes of this.

The pain sounds from OFP unfortunately are the same ones used universally by almost all the games out there and the movies.

I hear you bro but the volume can only go so loud, I have seen a lot of people making comments about turning up the volume on your speakers so I wont say such thing, I know what you're talking about.

Maybe just some loudened sounds

Otherwise, Im quite fine with every weapon but PKM, Vanilla sounds ftl?
