PMDG 777 cockpit sound issue

Featured Replies

I'm sure many people have come across this issue with the PMDG 777. When on the ground with cabin doors open, all of the external sounds can be heard inside the cockpit at external volume. It's like I'm standing next to an aircaft that is taking off. It's really unbearable and I had to turn all my sounds down during cockpit prep.

There seems to be a post about it on the PMDG forums. It's a real immersion killer and almost makes me not want to use the 777. Any idea on when they'll be fixing this? This seems like a critical bug.

No issue here, maybe the best place to report is the PMDG forum.

I have been experiencing the same issue and it is honestly pretty annoying. Hopefully it gets fixed relatively quickly but ultimately who knows.

Again, best report it at PMDG, otherwise no chance of fixing your mystery sound issue.

This is a bad design choice by PMDG, and as usual, they’re blaming Asobo. There are two attenuation values, one for any-door-open and another for all doors closed, that affect how outside sounds enter the cockpit. It’s not adjustable by individual opening (windows, each door, etc.). It’s any or none. In the PMDG sound folder, there’s an xml.  Edit it and you’ll see two values for the attenuation. Door open is zero by default, so if door 4R is open it’s like you’re standing on the ramp. I set mine to -10 as a compromise, so sounds go up, but not too much. Of course, if you open a cockpit window, it’s probably too quiet.
