[simpits-tech] Looking for some sounds...

[Matt Bailey]

I've got a few ideas on this but probably not what you're looking for.
First, do you mean com as in the audio in the simulator? The quickest
way I can think of to do this would be to make the com come out just the
right channel for instance, and set everything else to the left channel.
But then you would lose stereo. Maybe you would have more options with
EAX sound or whatever it is, that uses four speakers (I'm thinking you
could have two or three channels for your normal stereo sounds, and the
other channel(s) for com).

If you're talking about RogerWilco or similar, why not just hook up an
old cheap computer to the net and run RW on it? The only audio from that
would be RW, you could just hook your headset/mic/speakers up to that.
I'd like to try this sometime myself but I am on a dial-up connection.
