The design of the program is very simple in that it enables you to preselect and configure a number of add-on sounds that are often missing in Flight Simulator. SimSounds is a small standalone program developed by Thomas Langenkamp in Germany. But, what about sound – in particular realistic aircraft, cabin and environmental sounds. Purpose built flight decks, aircraft shells, real aviation equipment and stunning external visuals all add to the immersion effect. However, the immersion effect is downgraded when something doesn't replicate or mimic its real-world counterpart effectively.įlight simulator enthusiasts go to exuberant lengths to create the illusion of flight. When this is done correctly, the illusion is complete. To ensure an immersive environment is created, these sounds (and others) must be replicated as closely as possible to the real sound. LEFT: Engines, landing gear, spoilers and drag all create noise and vibration. This perception is created by surrounding the user in images, sound and other stimuli that provide an engrossing total environment. The definition of immersion is a perception of being physically present in a non-physical world. Please consider sending a few dollars ( Thank You.)
