The sounds load when you press a button.
The rain
Heavy rain on a loop. Inside a storm it falls all around you. Sail away and it grows quieter, until you can’t hear it at all.
The thunder
The flash comes first. The thunder follows about 3 seconds for every 1,000 of distance, so you can count how far off a strike was. It’s one of six thunderclaps, never the same one twice in a row.
In the game
- The rain plays from the nearest storm. Inside one, it falls right under your camera.
- Distances are in the game’s own units. Your camera usually flies 100 to 300 above the sea.
- A storm at full strength strikes about once every 4 game hours. At 1x that’s every 10 seconds.
- In the game you also hear which side a sound comes from. Here everything plays from the middle.
