Watched the youtube movie and run through all the sounds and I must say, great work! I'm working on a sound mod for LockOn and I noticed one thing, the MigFrontEngine and MigAroundEngine are actually Su-27 sounds. Just my two cents, keep up the great work!

Give this one a try :smilewink:

Great work there guys! Find yourself a good nr 9, that is more than deserved :thumbup: Good luck this training season and I hope to see a 9 ship at VFAT 200>9< ;)

Did that like a 100 times :D

Hi wildcat EAF51, I'm happy you found the problem there commander ;) By the way, nice avatar there, I loved Strike Commander! :D

Wow great pictures! :thumbup:

:joystick:

ED (DCS) made endless efford to create the most realistic helo sim so I would suggest, unlearn the inverted rudder input and go for the real deal (who knows you may end up in a real chopper/aircraft one day) :smilewink: It might take some time, but eventually it will feel natural. I even inverted the X52 throttle (collective) for the helo.

Thanks :) It took some time for me aswell to find the limits, and I still (literally) break the limit quite frequently. To give you a little tip though, dropping the collective during maneuvers and low (fuel) weight helps a lot to reduce stress on the rotor blades.

Thanks everyone!!! Celebrating it in sunny Budapest :)

Oh yea sorry, Notepad is what I meant.

It is easy, go to your lockon folder, then open the config folder and look for "producer.cfg" (open with wordpad). Change "True" to "False"....thats it.

Thanks guys :) Happy flying :pilotfly:

Track IR is the 2nd best thing after the joystick, you will love it :smilewink:

I was doing some crazy fun flying, which turned out to be quite interesting :joystick: :D PlayGround.trk

Done Wishlist 1: Photoreal Terrain 2: Realistic Weather 3: Real Sounds (better sound system) Thank you

Well, looks like you did it :joystick: :D

Dude you have camera/editing skills! Aswell as the flying :thumbup: Thanks for sharing :)

Hehe, no thats not me :D This screaming sound comes from Falcon 4. It has nothing to do with reality, though its just so freaking funny to hear that on ejects (especially of a shot down pilot flying by your cockpit) :D No problem, you gave some great examples which are very useful to find the right stuff :smilewink: About the afterburner sounds, I personally never liked to hear them that loud or that obvious. Same for other sounds like airbrake/gear/flaps. At first, I will create the sound mod to my personal likings but because everyone has their own preferences, I will include a full "Sound Tutorial". Thanks a lot! I actually used these movies also to create the mig's cockpitsystem sounds and my version ended up very close to yours :smilewink: The only thing I left out is the med/high pitched sound which comes up when the pilot puts a certain system on. This sound doesn't go up and down together with the power setting so I left it out. This sound is also a very annoying and might even be bad for the ear to receive for longer periods.

You certainly helped there with giving great examples of what i'm looking for. Only great examples though, since in most movies the microphone was boosted, people chatting or winds blowing. Never the less, I will try to use it. Thanks! What I'm really hoping for to find are movies like these: Link Good quality and great sounds. The Mig29 cockpit sounds turned out to be the best so far. Speaking of cockpit sounds, as you can see in these movies the camera recorded the true cockpit sounds. You can debate about it though, if this is fully real to implent in Lockon. Normally, a pilot has a helmet on, which reduces these sounds to the minimum to be able to hear more important things like warnings and radio comms. I made a choice there and went for the more exciting, letting the lockon pilots experience these cockpit sounds much more intense then a real pilot would.

Oh that no problem at all, and I very well understand that a landing-crash is not appropriate in a movie like this :smilewink:

In this post you can download the track (externals only) of the same display, flown at VFAT 2008. Here you can download the live display as it was filmed at the VFAT2008 In the attatchment you find the demo track used for this movie with internals, crash included :joystick: :D Edit: Track has been removed.

WHOA!!! Thats a very pleasant surprize! :cheer3nc::cheer3nc::cheer3nc: Though, how did you manage to change the landing? I traditionally wreck my Ka-50 after the demo :D Thanks a lot for making this movie, it's a great honor for me!

Thanks guys, I'm really glad you all like the sounds :) Still though, the project is far from done. These sounds are not sampled from the best quality movies out there and I ran out of resources. Some sounds are only a "guess" in the right direction. I'm really going to need movies like I subscribed in the first post. Please all, run though your movie collections and see if you find moments in them with good sound for 6 or more seconds. The sounds (any aircraft type) i'm still looking for are: FrontEngine: Howeling sound of approaching jets in the air, for as long as possible time. Jets making multiple turns during approach would be the best, even more if this happens in the mountains. BackEngine: Recorded from jets on the ground with a certain distance. The sound should not overpower the microphone. Flaps/AB/Gear/Canopy sounds: Recorded during maintenance or something, normally you will never really hear these sounds since the engine is too loud. CockpitSystem sounds: Cockpit sounds when airborne, during cruise as well as slow flight (landing). In special, I need F18 sounds (any situation), this jet makes very typical sounds and I haven't been able to find anything good yet. NOTE: No music or environmental noises (like people chatting, blowing winds and so on). PM or email me (lars.hofman@gmail.com) and I will provide a place to upload the movies. Highly appreciated :thumbup:

We see a lot of aircraft and terrain mods created by the community for LockOn, which is great. Though, I think the sounds in lockon stay behind. In my opinion, sounds make the sim for a big part and are at least as important as nice looking terrain or 3d model. There are quite some limitations regarding the sound system of lockon but there is still room for improvement, also over previous sound mods. I've created two ALPHA versions of the Su27 and F16 project. LockOnSoundsProject_Su27_AV1 (Read the README please) LockOnSoundsProject_F16_AV1 The idea is to create a sound mod for every aircraft, this may seem a bit odd but if you want the most realistic sounds possible within lockon, this is the only way to do it. The reason for this is easy, there are simply not enough sound files in lockon (multiple aircraft use the same sounds). The following aircraft are planned for the first official release. Su27 / Su33 Mig29 F15 F16 F18 To make this project work out as good as possible I need help from the community though. Every one of you has aviation videos on their hard drive and I need those, rare high quality ones without music or other environmental noises (like people chatting, blowing winds and so on). If you have movies like that, please contact me by PM or email so that I can give you the FTP address for uploading. Greatly appreciated.
