ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
During multiplayer flights in MSFS2024, If another player joins with the Microsoft / Carenado R66 Helicopter, the multiplayer audio heard by others is excessively loud and cannot be reduced using the ‘Other Aircraft’ volume slider. We also noted that the Sound Loudness Limiter is showing the audio in the Player Aircraft channel instead of the AI Aircraft channel.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Always during multiplayer sessions with the R66 present.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
-
Player 1 loads into sim with R66 engine running.
-
Player 2 loads into sim at same location with any aircraft cold and dark.
-
Player 2 visually identifies Player 1 and verifies that Player 1 is spawned as an Microsoft / Carenado R66 (not Asobo passive aircraft).
-
Player 2 listens for R66 multiplayer sounds.
-
Player 2 goes into settings and reduces ‘Other Aircraft’ volume levels to zero.
-
Player 2 listens for R66 multiplayer sounds again. Expect to hear nothing, however, audio still loud.
-
Player 2 turns on Dev Mode, opens debug ‘Sound Loudness Limiter’. Observes the AI Aircraft channel is showing nothing and the Player Aircraft channel is showing audio (player 2 aircraft is not running).
