Problem OrbiterSound 4 Custom base sounds doesn't work at Brighton Beach

[Parnikkapore]

Hey DanSteph,
Custom base sounds doesn't seem to work with Brighton Beach. Can you help investigate? Is this due to the "Silence of Space"?

Filename: Moon_Brighton Beach_12000_255_40.
Clues: It works at Olympus base when I changed the file name.

It would be better to post this at
http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/index.php?action=forum.

Additionally, what Orbiter version are you running? If 2016, Dan has not yet updated any of his addons for Orbiter 2016 at this time. Wonky running is then to be expected.

It's Orbiter 2016. But, as I said above, I renamed the file and it works perfectly at Olympus base. The problem is specific to Brighton. That's why I conclude the "Silence of Space" could be the culprit. (The checkbox doesn't solve the problem!)

IIRC base sounds are linked to atmospheric pressure. So for the Moon, no pressure = no sound. There is a "No birds in space" note somewhere in the OrbiterSound docs.

That's exactly what my conclusion is. I posted this on Dan's forum and hopefully can confirm if this is intentional or unexpected

It could be a bug, because it looks like the custom base sounds should work without the "birds in space" restriction: emphasis mine

NO BIRDS IN SPACE !!!
-------------------------
Wind sound plays until the edge of atmosphere is reached, so adding birds
or other lower altitude sound would be very unrealistic. Take a look at
"ground base" sound for low altitude ambiance sound.

I think it's intentional. From OrbiterSound 4.0 - FAQ

(Mars specific example)

Sound intensity vary as the square root of pressure, so you have sound on Mars but it is very tiny; you should put the volume almost at max to hear it. This is more realistic.
