Hi there,
The SimVar “Plane Alt Above Ground” and the engine combustion presets do not work correctly for AI/MP aircraft.
When testing a new product we’re developing; it was discovered that even on the ground, an AI/MP aircraft displayed a negative altitude reading of 7-900ft. The airport I was testing this at was KAZO/KBTL with MP aircraft, using the wwise remote tool to monitor game objects.
This led to us removing the altitude variable altogether, as it varied with location.
Issue 2: when testing the combustion sounds on AI aircraft, the normal combustion engine preset does not appear to work correctly or translate RTPCs. On player aircraft, it is fine, with MP aircraft - almost everything is missing. A way around this was to use the “JetWhine” instead of “Combustion,” - which produced similar-sounding results to the player aircraft. I’ve seen another developer strictly use the JetWhine tag instead of Combustion, perhaps because of this issue.
I can provide video examples if needed.
This is more of a bug report - let me know if I need to submit this elsewhere.
