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.
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. |
