F16 - Clicking noise in cockpit

BigTilleyStyle

When in the cockpit there is a constant clicking sound, not sure what is causing it, happens from when turning the battery on. is this normal?

DC1973

@bigtilleystyle Nope, should not happen. I have noted that some folks report this clicking noise on various airplanes, doesn't seem connected to the products themselves ( different developers etc ) but more to speakers, drivers or similar.

@dc1973 I will check out my settings and see if I can sort it. Thanks for the reply. Loving the F16, it's my new favourite aircraft.

If you are using something like the Honeycomb Alfa you may have left the starter switch in the on position (full clockwise)

@stona I'm currently using the Logitech x56 and don't have anything mapped for the starter switch. I think what I'm hearing is actually normal as I have now heard it in a youtube video. Clicking may have been the wrong word to use to be honest, its more like an electrical system.

Oh I think I know what you mean
I think it's the fuel pump; you can only really hear it when the engine is off

@stona Yes I think you are right and it makes alot of sense. The sound from my PC is run thought and amp and into a pair of bookshelf speakers, which might explain why I can hear it more than others.
