Maverick_85 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Hi Devs... Great Release, by the way.. I cant hear any inertia starter sound... Will it added in the future? the rest of the sounds are awesome.. :-D kind regards Mav
ED Team btd Posted June 4, 2020 ED Team Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Thank you for your report. We'll figure out. Edited June 4, 2020 by btd Best regards, Kanstantsin Kuzniatsou (btd) https://soundcloud.com/btd
ED Team btd Posted June 4, 2020 ED Team Posted June 4, 2020 Well, we checked - the sound is in place and it works. Check this video plz: Perhaps you expected to hear the loud and screeching sound of the starter as in P-51. But in P-47, an electric motor helps to spin the starter. And due to more complex gears or due to a more even moment, the sound is really quiet, not very noticeable. We managed to record it in Duxford from a real plane. Therefore, the sound in the simulator is pretty close to the original sound. Best regards, Kanstantsin Kuzniatsou (btd) https://soundcloud.com/btd

Oh, thanks for the extra little vid.. now i can hear it.. a spool up sound from trhe starter would be pretty awesome realsitic... :-)
Rebel28 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Which sound volume slider is this sound attached with so I can turn it up? I hear nothing at all.
TacticalOni Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I'd perhaps like to hear it be a little louder, as you can also kinda feel an inertial starter when you're sitting in the aircraft. Even if the volume is spot on from what you can hear within the cockpit, a little more sound for our wanting ears never hurt. The Oni abides, man
ED Team btd Posted June 5, 2020 ED Team Posted June 5, 2020 Well , I slightly increased the starter volume. Please expect in coming updates. Best regards, Kanstantsin Kuzniatsou (btd) https://soundcloud.com/btd
JefCostello Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 At 2'30" you can clearly listen the flywheel! Cheers Jef Corsair One 140 Windows 10 Home 64 - i7 9700K 3.6 GHz - nVidia GeForce TRX 2080 - Hotas Warthog - Saitek rudder - TIR5. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ShadowFrost Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 At 2'30" you can clearly listen the flywheel! Cheers Jef As I don't know which one is correct, but with most aircraft today you've got to be quite careful with videos or any examples really. As there are many variations of parts used on most warbirds today. So just because one video has a different sounding starter doesn't mean it was that way, plenty of aircraft use backdated/newer parts or completely different systems as a replacement for the original system all together. Starters are especially common replacement due to a variety of reasons. (But I do prefer that starter sound more, I just don't know which is accurate to what it would have had in 1940s)
Gentoo87 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 At 2'30" you can clearly listen the flywheel! Cheers Jef You are not wrong this real plane sounds great, The game just doesn't sound right, sounds so anemic?
Eldur Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Well , I slightly increased the starter volume. Please expect in coming updates. One thing that is missing though: [...] At 2'30" you can clearly listen the flywheel! Cheers Jef You can hear how the flywheel's rpm increases by its pitch going up and when he starts the engine, it goes down again. I don't hear that in DCS yet, the audio's pitch stays constant all the time. The sound just kicks in and fades away as soon as the engine starts running.

I am curious is this plane modified to modern standards or does it use an original starter system from its era?
Gunrun_KS Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 One video doesn't speak for all P-47's. Some are much louder than others. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I7 4790K / EVGA 1080ti SC / 32GB DDR3 / 1TB SSD / Oculus Rift S / X-56 / MFG Crosswind V2 / ButtKicker + Simshaker for Aviators
Swagger897 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 +1 for louder flywheel please! And while we're at it, is there any chance to make the startups a little bit more prolonged? I've gotten to work on a few radials in my short time as an A&P (R985 and R1830s) and haven't come across one that has started up as easily as the ones in game. - I hate to say it, but listeng to the p47 from Duxford....

That's quite a bad example dude... You picked one that was obviously washed out from the departing aircraft.

You picked one that was obviously washed out from the departing aircraft. I've flown with both R985s and R1340s. How quick they start is largely based on how long since they were flown last. With the R1340 specifically it'll start after 3 or less blades if its been flown recently (a few days or even yesterday). And starts very similar to how the P-47 does in DCS. But, on the contrary, if they have been sitting for long, its a much slower and more uneven start as to what you describe. I would like to see some variety, but for a prepped aircraft (as I am under the impression that they are supposed to be under normal wartime conditions, someone can correct me on that) a clean/fast startup wouldn't be unusual. But likewise, the startup process seems to be pretty identical time after time, a little variety would be nice.
