    Mode: Survival / Creative
    Mode: Single Player / Multiplayer

    Reproducibility: Always
    Severity: Minor

    Type: Audio

    Summary: If you wander too far away from your ship, when you return to it you will not hear any sounds from the thrusters when they fire.

    Description:
    Noticed during playtesting that occasionally I could not hear any of the thruster sounds from my ship, either in first or third person mode. After some testing in creative I noticed that if you wander out to a distance away from your ship, when you return to it the thruster sounds will stop working.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Load the attached creative save game. You will be seated in a MERC SV.
    2) Move the ship left and right, up and down, and verify that you hear the thrusters firing.
    3) Exit the SV, and use god mode to fly to the large orange marker in front of the ship. It is at an arbitrary distance away, I didn't check for a threshold distance.
    4) Return to the MERC and enter the cockpit. Verify that as you repeat your actions in step 2 there are no sounds from the thrusters.

    Thanks, I removed it. Odd because I didn't actually attach an image to this, just the video. Might have been stuck from my last bug report.

    I have experienced the same problem, and it's not just the sound effects.
    If you are in 3RD person view you will see that the thruster animation is not present when using them.

    It can also trigger if you zoom too far out in 3RD person view.

    I have not been able to replicate this issue in 3373.

    Each time I have returned to the vessels the sound is always maintained (I tried further distances also).

    Yep, appears to have been resolved with the latest patch. Can't reproduce it now in creative, I'll see what happens later in single player.
