Hey Community,
when i recently started IL-2 again this problem occured:
Sitting in any singleengine plane, turning on the engine. When i move my head to the right side with TrackIR the engine's sound is completely missing. It's about 90
Yeah, same here.
Since I have a "not so modern" sound card, I've toned down the sound settings, I figure this is the reason.
On the other hand, I've started to use it to my advantage; whenever one of my teamsmates with a feeble mic says something on the Eagles Lair radio that gets drowned out by the engine, I simply turn my head, push the PTT key and say ... "Say again?" 8)

Hello
I've had similar problems in the past & was able to source & fix the problem...Try this:
Go to your sound card control panel.
Look at what speakers are selected, I suspect 5:1 or similar, if so then change until you find the ingame sound that balances around your cockpit.
Although I have a 5:1 speaker system my IL2 ingame sounds work best with 4:1.
Hope it works for you too.
Cheers n Beers

Hmmm...
Go to the 'Conf' file in your root folder & open with notepad.
Check your config.ini sound settings against mine (not just the red but especially that), if different then copy & save your [sound] data then replace with mine, if they're the same then I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help!
Hope it works fingers Xd.
