[1.0.0.2] Fan noise stays silent after interrupting sounds abate

[ZeroGravitas]

I think it was a performance 'optimisation' to reduce the number of simultaneous sound effects playing, making it sound fairly awful as loud mechanical noises are totally silenced by the hum of one distant engine, etc. But aside from that, I've been continually getting the issue that fan noises do not resume after being silenced in this way.

Demo tech attached - the lowest number of cluster missiles I could have to make this happen reliably. Works anchored or flying, etc.

(Yet) another superficial little glitch during filming - I repeatly fell out the air and crashed because I was letting the fans on my "dropship" (attached too) totally spool down, to re-engage the sound effect after firing...

I'm not sure of the overall specificity of the bug, but I think it happens with all fans/props, at least.

Looks like the sound optimisations are working as expected, it's just that the fan noise never checks if its sound is playing and never tries to play the sound again if it got culled

Should be, or is?

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. But...

working as expected

... Still sounds like garbage. Here are some examples in a separate report.

Yeah those in the other thread look less working as intended

Saw it while scrolling the list the other day, so I was pretty sure!
Though I can now revise my previous comment and say its definitely logged, as I have it open in front of me

Just fixed this.

Cool. Speedy. So you mean that the fan noise will resume under all conditions, but it will still cut in and out when there are too many other sounds happening? (Even if they are quieter, but higher priority, etc.)

Oh wow, well done, no cut out at all now in 1.0.2.4! Even with my most fan and missile spammy tech! Nice.

So there wasn't a limit on the number of concurrent sounds, to preserve performance? It was just a bug?

I noticed now that in creative mode spawn, the starting techs no longer have ambient engine noises. That is, except for the venture rocket car and the hover ring sound (those rings continue to make humming even while turned off, by the way). Was this a (deliberate) change?
