I am thinking about this but I want to check if anyone has experience with it before throwing money at a possibly stupid idea.
First of all the premises:
1- My cockpit is on the basement in a soundproofed room, therefore I have no problem creating a loud environment.
2- The headset I use for gaming is a Sennheiser HD660s (open), which means I do hear pretty well around me while gaming. Driving it is a gsx1000 from Sennheiser which does a great job at surround effects.
What if.... I put speakers around the cockpit just for effects out of the game?
The idea is just to ADD very specific directional sound effects, like: opponent engine sound, tire squeak, maybe even rain and contact sound. Anything to improve the environment atmosphere.
- Can Simhub or any other software generate sound effects based on telemetry?
- What kind of speakers would be appropriate for such endeavor?
- Could I use Cardiod Subwoofers to create directional low frequency sound? Or would the air displacement itself generate any kind of effect?
I tried searching for this info, but either there isn't anything on it or I am just not searching with the appropriated words.
So I would be thankful for any insight.
Cheers!
