Hearing distance AI traffic sounds very limited

In MSFS 2024 AI and live traffic audio seems to have a very limited hearing range of few hundred meters. Aircraft are visible at a distance, but engine sounds only become audible when they are very close, with no gradual fade.

I see the same behavior with FSLTL and FS Traffic.
Are others seeing this as well, and is this currently hard-coded in the sim?

Update: testing was done in drone mode. I’m not sure if cockpit distance is different.

Do you have AI traffic? It was my default traffic setting as I only fly GA. But SU 4 stopped it working.

Sorry to not answer your question. I would test if I had AI planes.

No Traffic Sounds When Using Third Party Traffic Software FS2024

I have the same issue. Sound abruptly starts and stops when the AI traffic enter a small radius around the camera even when the traffic remains visually there.
