New sounds discussion

The sound in the cockpit is based on the sounds we recorded from a real spitfire IX cockpit. it sounds exactly as implemented.

But then you did a really good job. If that's the real sound of a Spitfire IX, sorry, but it does not get any better! I can not understand that there are some here again, the moan and moan again!

Congratulations BTD. Any issues I had with the Spitfire sounds - which weren't many and mainly limited to externals - are gone.

Aside from some of the limitations inherent to the medium, and the tweaks you've already made and await the next update, I would say that most importantly you have most successfully captured the flavour of the 60-series Merlin Spitfire - I particularly like the almost whip-crack like change in tone of the high speed fly-by, and the phasing of the lower frequencies as the aircraft recedes which was missing in the earlier versions.

Thanks for your hard work.

Now to try out the Pony!

Sounds are really important to me, and I think it's a big improvement. I'm happy that ED spent time and energy on this. Great job, and thank you! :thumbup:

+1

Sewing machine is no more!

Very well done. S!

Maby a little of topic but p-51 internal sounds :thumbup:

Maybe my update has gotten corrupted? I disabled my Mustang and Spitfire sound mods before updating, and when I heard about this, I flew the Spitfire in it's Caucasus free flight mission, with Mustang AI. The only difference that is more or less obvious is the length at which sounds will extend to the rear of an aircraft, particularly during a flyby. Essentially I can hear the Spitfire for longer when it flies past.

The Mustang sounds the same as ever, no change.

Hello there.

As a sound engineer with hundreds of recorings infield samples I would like to say that F-18 and F-16 sound are prety goood but... Merlin sound inside and outside cockpit my friends.... a long way to go. I would like to encourage ED sound engineer to close look on Jafa mod for Merlin

it is not perfect but very, very, very goooood.

Can we go in that way of doing sound for our beauties?

Best regars HOLY

This.

In previous discussions people have claimed that the videos on YouTube cannot be the thing to go by because of the mics and such. However lots of videos online sound the same as all the p51 spitfires and other piston planes I hear, the Dcs sounds are lacking a great deal. There are many reasons why this could be but I imagine they need some fine tuning. Whilst flying in the real world I hear the lower pitch sounds, there is always a constant droning, that is what kinda feels like is missing.

Nice work so far! It is an improvement

Absolutely always go forward

Internal sound of p-51 is changed completely

I just had a look at Phil's video, and holy cow the Spit sounds very different!! If my update isn't corrupted, I don't know how but somehow I missed that.

As for the Mustang, I admit I only listened to external sounds. They seem to sound the same, but I haven't jumped into the cockpit. I'm eager to give them a listen myself

New sounds are great! Nice job ED :)

...

You have been very helpful here in this thread, and very open! I've never seen you around here, and to drop a hotfix via dropbox (a very casual thing to do, and I like it lol) and mentioning an audio slider on the way, as well as other things is very appreciated by me. Seems like a strange thing to point out, but I'd like to say thank you for being here and engaging with us

Hi btd, if possible could the sound that is made when the throttle is cut to fast be reduced or changed, I'm not sure what it is supposed to be, backfire? But it sounds the same between all modules and stands out a lot from the rest :)

I've done some more testing with earphones, and I really like the new sound, the Spit feels so much more alive now.

If there is one thing that could be improved is to make the external sounds from different angles blend in a bit more smoothly. Now as you move the camera around the plane the nature of the sound changes drastically and suddenly. Just my 2 cents.

Anyhow, here's hoping for a similar update for the P-51 and the 109 :)

Thank you very much, guys.

 

 

I double-checked, you turned out to be right. This is a bug. We'll fix it. Thanks for your report!

 

 

Do you speak about "Crackling" sound - ...\LockOnExe\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Engines\PackardMerlinProp\Cockpit\CracklingIn.wav ?.

 

I know It’s hard to find it on YouTube. Because you shouldn't throw gas sharply. For this, the owner of the plane will not praise the pilot)

 

But recently the likelihood of making this sound and other "Pop"-sounds has been slightly reduced. I'm not sure if this hit the current beta

Yeah that's the one and the one in the folder previous. The sound stands out a fair bit. Probably the best time to hear it would be when landing if doing a glide approach. It isn't as loud and more of a deeper tone.

I found this video of a guy running a griffon engine poorly and it backfires and pops and bangs.

About 1:30 in the video

I know this isn't the same engine but it does give and idea of the sound that could be created?

Please remove this post.

HELLO BTD

Did you do that soundtrack for Mig-29 background screen?

It is very, very good piece of music!!!

I've made some mod for longer version here:

Regards HOLY

Hello, thanks. Yes, it's mine track. But in your version the quality of the track is spoiled somehow. Maybe compressor or smth... Compare with original especially loud parts of the track

:)

It was very compresed indeed.

Very god work btd. I hope that work over warbirds engines will be on the same level. Look on Jafa mod please.

Keep going forward man !!!!

Yeah btd I know you do have the sounds direct from the aircraft but perhaps trying jafas spitfire or p51 sound mod would be nice. There are some sounds which come across more accurately, maybe give some inspiration?

As an aside I have noticed that when flying I can hear other planes over my own; even same type. With hear like in helmet on or off. In reality when flying we can just hear the engine and wind noise, maybe the other aircraft sounds could be lower in cockpit?

Thanks for taking the time to seek feedback :)
