Default reduce effects volume when piloting aircraft

Correct me if I'm wrong but Pilot helmets and head phones protect the pilot's ears from the very loud engines.


I don't know how to do it, but if possible reduce the sound effects to something like 10% when you are piloting an aircraft such as little bird/blackhawk etc?

The sound is already very much reduced, and is done by this line of code in the PCO, this one taken from the J-10 Pilot:
Code:
ObjectTemplate.listenerObstruction 0.995
0 = you can hear sound outside sounds outside of the vehicle fine as if it was an open vehicle (like a WMIK Land Rover)
1 = you can't hear anything outside of the vehicle.

We may need to increase it a little more to something like 0.997 if players have an issue with its current level.

Ye, I hear people complain about it quite a bit. Don't have the issue myself since I put TS/Mumble though a separate 1 piece headset/mic that's connected to a separate soundcard so my ingame sounds come out of my speakers and voice chat goes directly into my right ear.

Wat? So you have sound coming from your speaker while you are using headphones to hear people speak?

I agree with OP, not so much in Jets but for sure in helicopters. It's annoying having to turn effects down every time you want to fly a chopper.

A 1 piece headset, pretty much like this one:


And can hear ingame sound fine around it since it hardly obstructs the speaker sound


And I pretend its a BOWMAN Radio



Dose mean however that I loose positional voice audio since its only mono

Level of sound in pilot/crewman helmets equal to loudness in usual helmet. I think he spoke about sounds outside of vehicle but close to it. For now this kits don't have profit, only add restriction

The NH90 pilot seat is still missing the lowered sound effects that every other helicopter pilot seat has.
