GBU 38 Training

I can't speak to the A-10 IRL, but in other jets - you can't hear the bombs coming off at all. I mean think about it, even if you were only doing 200 kts - imagine rolling your windows down in your car at 200 kts and hearing just the wind noise and the jet engine noise. No way you're going to hear a KER-THUNK of a bomb being ejected off a rack though all that other noise.

You can definitely feel it though, especially a MK-84. But unfortunately, you can't simulate that in DCS.

Be cool to put a “butt kicker” or “bass shaker” in, to simulate some of that. Certainly with the gun as well.. They can be integrated for a certain PC racing sim, wonder if they can be for DCS...?

I tried it with "Hear Like Helmet" on and off and it only makes a slight difference with the engine noise. No difference with bomb release, either way it's almost inaudible unfortunately.

I wish they would bring back the sound. It might not be as realistic, but it made up for the lack of the tactile thump which occurs IRL.

Check out SimShaker for Aviators, that's what you're looking for. :thumbup:
