Directional sound for missile warnings

[weak tinsel]

When wearing headphones,the beeping would audibly originate from the direction of the missile. This would greatly improve situational awareness and seems very fitting for a futuristic jet.
If the feature is well received,it could be extended to other audio information,such as new radar contacts

Currently the sound is constant regardless of direction

i really do want this but
wouldnt this place non-headphone users at a disatvantage?

[edgy wedge]

Look at your minimap, the missile will be on there, plus it shows notching lines. All this’ll really do is make it sound a bit better to headphone users

[whole drift]

i mean you could say that about any video game
basically every game that has sound gives an advantage to people who can hear sound in both ears

[crimson mountain]

honestly, id pefer a 3d visual seperate from the minimap; don't really like wearing headphones constantly

Seconded on this suggestion such a good idea

[last jackal]

this is already the case with headtracking and hotas

[errant lion]

In retrospect i should have noted, very small advantage so idrc but yeah, an advantage nonetheless.
Headtracking and hotas can be optional and still have alternatives, head tracking - mouse
Hotas - keyboard
3d noise - ??

I don't think it's a relative enough difference to matter. The difference between keyboard and a HOTAS is massive. Having to reference the lower left corner like we do now isn't gonna hinder anybody.

[whole drift]

I don't think that people without headphones should be a reason for everyone else to miss out on a feature

im not saying i dont want this either, im just saying a point that the devs might want to consider

[fast kernel]

I like current version of directional and sound missile warning.
Yes that maybe not so beauty, but very functional, and works good.
Maybe change version of animations? Anybody have ideas for that with some pictures?

[humble blade]

Huh

[errant lion]

i have no clue what you meant either

[limpid night]

this suggestion is saying that you could play directional sounds for those who have good headphones, not change the UI 🙂
