SHARED ATTENUATION

The WwiseSampleProject contains several sharesets in the project that can be used for attenuation, or as references for you to create your own attenuation sharesets.

Wwise Attenuation Sharesets

When you create a custom shareset, we recommend that you do not exceed the clipping distance values shown below in your attenuation shareset (the Max Distance parameter in Wwise):

  • Player Aircraft: clipping distance is set up to 10000 meters
  • AI Aircraft: clipping distance is set up to 5000 meters.

 

If you are not familiar with spread and focus attenuation, you will find all the resources in the Audiokinetic on line documentation:

 

The tables below outline the sharesets available in the WwiseSampleProject.

 

 

Inside Cockpit Attenuation Shareset

Attenuation Shareset Information
aircraft_player_inside_3m No attenuation, no spread, no focus
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread15 No attenuation, spread = 15, no focus
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread30 No attenuation, spread = 30, no focus
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread40_focus70 No attenuation, spread = 40, focus =70
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread50 No attenuation, spread = 50, no focus
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread50_focus70 No attenuation, spread = 50, focus =70
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread60 No attenuation, spread = 60, no focus
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread75 No attenuation, spread = 30, no focus
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread100 No attenuation, spread = 100, no focus

 

 

Piston Aircraft

Attenuation Shareset Information
aircraft_player_outside_piston_50m This shareset could be use as a generic shareset for sounds that are nor engine sounds. Max attenuation distance is 50m.
aircraft_player_outside_piston_1500m_exhaust This shareset is suitable for exhaust sounds from outside viewpoint, on small piston aircraft. As the engine node is facing forward you would need to setup your exhaust sounds to ConeHeading=180 in the sound.xml so this way it will facing backwards.
aircraft_player_outside_piston_1500m_propeller This shareset is suitable for propeller sounds from outside view, on small piston aircraft. You don't need to set up ConeHeading so the node will keep its default value (ConeHeading= 0 and facing forward)

 

 

Large Turbofan Aircraft

Attenuation Shareset Information
aircraft_player_outside_turbofan_airliner_10000m_combustion This shareset is suitable for combustion sounds from outside, on large Turbofan Aircraft. As the engine node is facing forward by default you would need to setup your combustion sounds backward using ConeHeading=180 attribute in the sound.xml.
aircraft_player_outside_turbofan_airliner_10000m_jetwhine This shareset is suitable for jetwhine sounds from outside, on large Turbofan Aircraft.

 

 

Small Turbofan Aircraft

Attenuation Shareset Information
aircraft_player_outside_turbofan_jet_5000m_combustion This shareset is suitable for combustion sounds from outside, on small Turbofan Aircraft. As the engine node is facing forward by default you would need to setup your combustion sounds backward using ConeHeading=180 attribute in the sound.xml.
aircraft_player_outside_turbofan_jet_5000m_jetwhine This shareset is suitable for jetwhine sounds from outside, on small Turbofan Aircraft.

 

 

Large Turboprop Aircraft

Attenuation Shareset Information
aircraft_player_outside_turboprop_airliner_5000m_exhaust This shareset is suitable for combustion sounds from outside, on large Turboprop Aircraft. As the engine node is facing forward by default you would need to setup your combustion sounds backward using ConeHeading=180 attribute in the sound.xml.
aircraft_player_outside_turboprop_airliner_5000m_jetwhine This shareset is suitable for jetwhine sounds from outside, on large Turboprop Aircraft.
aircraft_player_outside_turboprop_airliner_5000m_propeller This shareset is suitable for propeller sounds from outside, on large Turboprop Aircraft.

 

 

Small Turboprop Aircraft

Attenuation Shareset Information
aircraft_player_outside_turboprop_2000m_exhaust This shareset is suitable for combustion sounds from outside, on small Turboprop Aircraft. As the engine node is facing forward by default you would need to setup your combustion sounds backward using ConeHeading=180 attribute in the sound.xml.
aircraft_player_outside_turboprop_2000m_jetwhine This shareset is suitable for jetwhine sounds from outside, on small Turboprop Aircraft.
aircraft_player_inside_3m_spread15 This shareset is suitable for propeller sounds from outside, on small Turboprop Aircraft.
