Please add Docking Sound Effect

[diffeq]

Rendezvous and docking is a long, exacting process. When the docking ports finally engage, it is anticlimactic without a sound effect. The sound created by Dan Steph for Orbiter of retraction and hard dock is very satisfying.

Thanks,

It's a little thing, but yeah it would be cool.

[LaydeeDem]

I love the docking sound effect in Orbiter. I even made a little video with it.

As it stands now basically all sound effects in KSP are just placeholders (and also in many cases there is simply no audio at all yet), but when Squad will move on to working on SFX side of the game I'm not going to be surprised if we going to get some docking effects.

[Necandi Brasil]

That's a good idea

Something like apollo 13 movie docking sound *sorry I couldn't find any youtube video about that *?

[Kopykat99]

Yes i agree but as long KSP sound effects are placeholders we wont get it amedialy in the next update, But iam sure we will get the docking effect one day. i agree docking and rezendervous is exiting and the no sound effect is kind of a mood-killer

I imagine the *scraaaapee... clunk... Ker-Chunk Ker-Chunk Ker-Chunk, whoosh* on every ship would get old pretty quickly though.

different sounds for different docking ports, and the sounds could change depending on how you dock. If you sort of bodge the docking, it could make a loud scraping noise, and if you align perfectly and dock first time, it could omit the scraping, and make a delicious -ker chunk- noise.

In space, no one can here you scream dock

[rdfox]

The Apollo docking sound would be pretty cool, yeah. Alternatively, and in an amusingly "kerbal" manner, how about THIS effect for a properly-done docking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqXbanoxyrQ

And THIS one for a docking where you came in a bit too hot, but it was still successful: http://youtu.be/bOM5P0Lr4oM?t=53s

And then THIS for a really rough (but successful) docking attempt: http://youtu.be/TTjj-jxSWW4?t=42s

Those just *sound* like you screwed up on the hard dockings...

[AletzN1]

Wow, those actually sound pretty good!

However if they go for the realistic depiction of space, you wouldnt hear a thing.

(Unless you are docking in the atmosphere)

I love it!

I love it!

You'd hear it if you were aboard either craft, conducted through the hulls... like we do the noise of engines burning in staging view. (And formerly map view, though I gather losing that is a glitch rather than an intended function.)

Well, I think sound all in all needs one major revamp. And I'd rather (and think they will) focus on it solely and work it all again from the groung up at some point in developement. Until then.. well.. mod some ((:

Cheers!

P.s: and that's not saying that I wouldnt like that! sound is 50% of the immersion in my opinion.
