Schutz Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Ive used the mod sounds for the Shark a while now, got them from another site, and i love em. Sounds just like the real thing. Its these kind of sounds i wish more sims would use; harsh, distorted and noisy sounds.

ocram Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Am I the only one that thinks that the KA-50 sounds to much like a jetengine in idle, especially on the outside views? Primarily when I have low collective input. I think this is a bit unreal. There should be a lot more rattle imho. Yes, every helo sounds different. But I have never seen a helo with a nearly complete absence of rattle sound. Even with more collective input, the engine-idle-like sound is to loud imho.
Ulrich Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) What is the criterion of your "realism"? Your mod sounds like old BMW motorcycle. Edited December 3, 2008 by Ulrich 3

DCS Rafale - please :thumbup:
ocram Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Perhaps the APU was still running... Nope. Its on other helos too. I ran the benchmark that was postet here and there are other helicopters in the view that also sound way to much like a small jet with engines running in idle. I tried to edit the sound config, but then the mission does not load.

ocram Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 So if heli have a turboshaft engine how it suppose to sound like? Well I am not an expert with the KA-50 sound. But I think that the engine sound is to dominant. For instance, look at that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLba1ZdyYOg Even when he is hovering and the engine is clearly audible, the rattle by the rotors is almost equal. In the game there are often moments (especially on outside view) when the main rotors are not audible at all. Well, as I said, I am not an expert with the KA-50. But when you say it is realistic that even if you are a few meters away from the BS you often dont hear the rotors at all, then it is ok. I only feared that my sound is not how it was intended.
ZaltysZ Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 ocram, what OS are you using? I am asking, because if you are using Vista, you may have problem with 3D sound (sound source position and volume may be wrong). DirectX implementation in Vista doesn't support 3D sound anymore, so games, which uses DirectSound3D, may sound badly on Vista, if 3D sound wrapper/emulator (like Alchemy) isn't used. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.

It's the wrong way to decide of sounds from youtube-like videos.
ocram Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 It's the wrong way to decide of sounds from youtube-like videos. That is right, for sure. But I doubt that the sound in real would be so totally different. ocram, what OS are you using? I am asking, because if you are using Vista, you may have problem with 3D sound (sound source position and volume may be wrong). DirectX implementation in Vista doesn't support 3D sound anymore, so games, which uses DirectSound3D, may sound badly on Vista, if 3D sound wrapper/emulator (like Alchemy) isn't used. I am using Windows XP. I will try to make a video with sound and upload it. So everyone can get a better impression of what I mean. Maybe everything is working correct and the sound is like intended. BTW, I have already tried the sound mod.
Zorrin Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Another point to remember is that the majority of a helicopter's rotor noise is actually generated by the tail rotor, rather than the main rotors. Ka-50 doesn't have a tail rotor so you would expect it to be quieter. Eurocopters with a fenestron, and MD Helicopters' NOTAR both reduce the helicopter's audio footprint quite dramatically. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
RvETito Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Having approx. 80 flight hours as flight engineer in Ka-32 (featuring the same engines and similar rotor system as Ka-50) and quiet a lot in ground runs both from inside (cockpit) and outside I can tell you that the original sound of Ka-50 is VERY, VERY realisitc in all modes- idle, auto, take-off power, maneuvering, high speed, high rotor RPM, autorotation, spool down. I don't want to discourage you, I respect your efforts, but IMO it's a waste of time to try changing something that doesn't need a change. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument.

Necroscope Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Nope, not for me. Nosed - yes, distorted - yes. But not realistic for me. Всех убью, один останусь!
ocram Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Ok, I have tried to replicate it. Dont know how to describe it, but the engine sounds allways to near imho. And listen to the sound at around 1.40 when I start to hover. To me the engine is to dominant. And I have found another flaw or bug? The engine sound kicks in or out at a certain distance. But I have to say that the sound(system) is way better than in any other simulation. A lot more complex and sophisticated. Better sound quality http://rapidshare.com/files/169909087/BS_sound_test.avi
RvETito Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I would recommend to everyone to experiment with the sounds sliders, depending on your sound hardware and hearing you might experience different impression.

Bucic Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Better sound quality http://rapidshare.com/files/169909087/BS_sound_test.avi So which saound set is it - modded or original? F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
ocram Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 So which saound set is it - modded or original? This is with modded. The modded rotor sounds are already louder/heavier than the originals.
Bucic Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 This is with modded. The modded rotor sounds are already louder/heavier than the originals. What do you mean by "already"?:) Did you use modded version of HUAF-074's sound mod or just his mod? Also I have never used ALchemy. Will BS sound better If I used ALchemy?

Will BS sound better If I used ALchemy? Yes, I used his version. And his version is already louder/heavier than the default sound. But the engine is still to dominant imho. Maybe I can mod that by configuring the text file.
