Strange digital noises during takeoff and landing?

Featured Replies

If you have a look at this video at approx 14m29s you can hear several chimes I haven't heard before. It's not something that is a part of the airplane, so I guess it is a chime that the simulator is recognizing an "event". The chime continues to ding maybe 3 or 4 times before it stops. What does the chime mean? 

Oh, and when I say I haven't heard it before, I mean I haven't heard it before in a boeing, airbus or whatever in other sims. I have, however, heard it several times now on various videos on MSFS.

It's not coming from the plane, it's a sound you'd normally hear when doing some actions in the sim UI such as hovering/clicking on a menu item, for some reason it's being triggered on some user inputs when in cockpit view. I'm not going into details because NDA and stuff but there's currently a workaround to prevent this, and I'm sure the devs will eventually properly fix it.

<sigh>  It's probably the point of interest marker.  They can be turned off.

So, I keep noticing this dinging during takeoff and landings. I never notice the sounds at any other part of the flight (including startup, taxi, later stages of departure, cruise and early approach). To me it seems that something is happening as you are transitioning through from ground to air and vice versa. It's in a lot of the videos on youtube, and I just find it peculiar. Also noticed that none is commenting on it, not the streamers nor the viewers.
