hughesj2 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Hi, Any news on plans to improve the sounds of the AV-8B? What are the capabilities of the DCS sound engine? Can it handle dynamic sound events? Is it a limiting factor or is it just sounds are last on the list to refine? I'm thinking things like ignitor sounds are missing at start up, the classic spool down whine doesn't quite sound like the videos of harriers landing and chopping the throttle, there's no sound of the air column hitting the ground at low altitudes when in the hover whilst in the pit etc? Are all these nuances on a list somewhere to be worked on? Just that the Hornet seems to have a cracking sound set already and I'd love to see (hear) the Harrier have the same :) Cheers James
Nealius Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 There's a sound mod out, should be in the user files, that adds things like ignitor clicks during startup. That classic spool down whine is still missing though.
hughesj2 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Posted May 25, 2018 Thanks Nealius...I've never done anything with sounds in DCS in terms of creating content, so was wondering how capable the engine was, seems weird for example that lots of aircraft share generic sounds.. But the as I mention the F-18 seems to have great buffet noise, canopy noise, dynamic ECS noise depending on air flow etc etc So for example how many unique sounds can the engine cope with per model? Cheers James
RuskyV Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I think the in cockpit sounds of the engine are way off, it sounds like they have just muffled the exterior sounds a bit. The sounds are not unpleasant but are not what you hear from some of the YouTube videos, especially with that signature whine the pegasus gives off just before full throttle when viewed from in cockpit.
hughesj2 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Posted May 25, 2018 Agreed..I think the modelling is superb but the sounds let the bird down right now which is a shame. But as I say I've no idea how the sounds are progressing, how much work is involved etc etc I thought I'd read somewhere that Military Sound Studios were doing a pack for it? Has that fallen through? Cheers James
hughesj2 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Posted May 25, 2018 Here's what I hope it will get to sounding similar to, external start up and internally...Maybe I'm expecting too much? Dunno hence the question... Start up Internal
Doum76 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Here's what I hope it will get to sounding similar to, external start up and internally...Maybe I'm expecting too much? Dunno hence the question... Start up Internal We are all dreaming about the high pitch engine sound, someone is working on, a few videoes on youtube, but, no news since a while, i think it was Diveplane11.
hughesj2 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Posted May 25, 2018 Yeah I'm guessing it's more complicated than adding a couple of wav files in grabbed from Youtube videos, hence people are struggling Would be nice to get an update from the Razbam team on it though especially the bit with Military Sound Studios or whether they are working on it internally alone now? Cheers James

Cheers James Usualy Diveplane11 comes with nice result but i'm suspecting he has way much more things to attend too, loves otehr sound mod i used from him.
