Sorry I haven't gotten to mention this before,
since this is smth that I kept noticing for months already.
In the c172 aircraft, the ambient noise in the cockpit
is pretty similar to what one hears w/o any headset.
When one turns the radio on and tries to hear the ATIS,
it sounds pretty low volume.

In real life, you can either put the radio on the loudspeaker
(overhead), or put on the headset and have the radio in it.
In the former case, I believe the volume is higher than this
produced by fgfs. In the latter, I believe the radio volume
is just about right, yet the ambient noise is much less because
it is reduced by the headsets.

For a quick fix, I suggest just increasing the relative volume of
the nav/comm radios vs the ambient noise.

(For full emulation, one could emulate donning headsets w/
different noise reduction/active noise cancelling frequency-based
charachteristics, but this is pretty much an overkill, esp.
since we don't even have a volume control on the comm radios).

FYI: I'm talking about 0.9.8 on Debian Linux 2.6.8-2,
ALSA snd_intel8x0 sound. I'm building a CVS version right now,
and will post if that behaves any differently.

V.
