Any sense in buying a 5.1 soundset for fs ?

Featured Replies

Hi,i currently have a very modest sound setup in my PC, an onboard AC'97 card and two little speakers connected to it. Works well though for use in FS2k2. I'm reading a lot about modern soundcards and 4.1 or 5.1 speakersets for audio purposes but i'm wondering whether FS2k2's sounds will really improve when i have those. If improvements are eminent, what sets/cards should be considered ? (I'm on a budget for this...)Furthermore, i like to fumble around with little cockpit add-ons and i came across an idea to connect a woofer (or a subwoofer in the case of a surround setup) to my chair to enhance the feel for it all. Anyone with experience on both ?Thanx, Cas

I just bought a set of logitec 5.1 surrond speakers to go with my SB audigy card. Combined it would be $180 or so. With the rudder pedals set next to the sub woofer there is a definat rumble as you roll down runway. If I were you though there may be better ways to spend the money when it comes to FS. Say a CH yoke for example if you dont already have one I would think a fancey set of speakers would be rather low on the list. On the other hand decent audio can do wonders for any game includeing FS. Hows that for a non-answer:-)
