If you were designing a cockpit and wanted to relay positional data to the pilot, 3D audio would be a great way.

So my head canon is that the sounds are generated in the cockpit, for the benefit of the pilots.

    I remember Wing Commander III having that explanation in the manual: sensors pick up what is happening outside the ship and simulate positional sound to increase pilot awareness.

    Such an awesome game! I played that as a kid, I wonder if that's where this idea came to me from.

    I still remember being in awe because of the whopping 4 CD-ROMS it came on, in a time where CD-ROM drives weren't even standard yet. Damn, I feel old now. 😂
