Hello,Even if I am right on the tail of a 747 that is just taking off, I can't hear anything at all. It just does not sound natural to hear only your own engine's sounds. Anyway to hear the sounds of the AI aircraft ? Also, maybe it's the laptop's tiny speakers that are the problem, but I can just barely make out the sounds of the landing gears going up/down. Wish there would be some way to generate that loud "thud" sound when the wheels (heavy aircraft) just leave the ground during take off. Anyone know anything on this issue ? Thanks.

Hi,loud = large speakers. You might want to check first with a pair of headphones connected on your laptop. Then, for a real 747 sound (and the rolling wheel sound), just download this:http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=13678and its v1.1 update:http://ftp.avsim.com/library/sendfile.php?DownloadID=13708This could help a lot!
