danger Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 the sound of the ka itself is very realistic, i have heard it for real, up close and personal. The only issue i have with the sound, is that on flyby view, the engine sound just cuts off , there is no fading when the helo has passed and off into the distance. xfi-platinum full eax effects. game sounds set to max quality.

EvilBivol-1 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) IMHO, sound perception will vary widely from PC to PC, depending on both hardware and software settings. Worse, our idea of what is "realistic" will also often vary, especially when users rely on internet audio/video recordings to determine what is "realistic." Sound is very dynamic by nature and even the same helicopter can sound very differently, depending on your location, the surrounding terrain, helicopter flight regime (speed, altitude, engine power, collective, etc.) and so on. In short, "realistic" sound mods based on video/audio samples will rarely be realistic at all, given their inability to properly simulate sound dynamics. They will work for some users and will not for others. In any case though, the effort to improve is appreciated. Edited December 4, 2008 by EvilBivol-1 - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

crazysundog Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 After having this mod installed for the last day, I'd have to say I like it!! Realistic or not, (I wouldn't know) I think it sounds great; thanks a lot Huaf 074!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boberro Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Realistic or not (I believe ED's default are) but if somebody likes more louder, expressive sounds why not. We have same situation in LO.

Bucic Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I wait for some recordings from colleague of mine which may confirm initial rumors that Creative ALchemy does make a difference and may be a solution for too low rattle sound volume. It may take from few hours up to a week so someone be a sweatheart and make the test before he does ;) Also check this out http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=34412 I also ordered some portions of FPS data so I will be able to use my analitical skills :glare: :joystick: https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekkinho Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I saw Ka-52 performing at MAKS 2007 an I must say it's very, very loud! Much louder than a Huey which was a synonim of loudness - IMHO! So if you think that engine sounds in game seem a bit too loud...think twice. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

press Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Thanks for the mods! When the new Mi-8MT model is finished it's gonna be even more realistic! I`m sorry, I seemed to have missed something....but, what new Mi-8MT model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucic Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I`m sorry, I seemed to have missed something....but, what new Mi-8MT model?

SD Hi guys, I'm the original poster of that video. never thought someone around here would get excited about my video :megalol: FYI : I didnt use any "special" sound here, it's HUAF-074 + Creative Alchemy and X-Fi xtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro. I stopped using his sound later because it sounds weird when lagging during online playing. and again, nice find. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysundog Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 OK gents, here's my contribution to the rotor sound...I'm not presenting it as realistic, just different... I used the original RotorKa50Dyn.wav and produced 2 different alternatives. The first is the original sound, but at a higher volume, and with a deeper tone.(more bass) Check video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oConqdnT52o The second RotorKa50Dyn I created uses the original wav as well, but I overlapped 2 copies of the wav, producing more of a 'dual rotor' sound IMO. I also bumped up the volume, and added a little deeper tone for this one. vid here: Try them out, I could alter these again to adjust volume...

Bucic Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Use ALchemy + CMSS ! (an option in Creative Console) - the difference is there! Even more distinctive rattle sound with more powerful base. I won't get the recordings this time though... I guess I tried the bloke's patience ;). https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysundog Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Any suggestions for people who are not running Creative hardware? Is there a way to get ALchemy to run on a system without buying a Creative soundcard? Do you have any Links that would be of assistance...?? Bah, answered my own question, my MoBo uses an integrated realtek... got to d'load the realtek fix. Edited December 8, 2008 by crazysundog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazysundog Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Heh, I must have been dropped on my head as a child... I had assumed (and you know what that spells) that my MoBo drivers had an audio driver of some sort, but apparently that is not the case. Hadn't started messing around with audio until today; up till now its been all about the gfx!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could drop a few names...:music_whistling: :D I had assumed (and you know what that spells) that my MoBo drivers had an audio driver of some sort, but apparently that is not the case. I don't get it. If your MoBo "has realtec audio" then check the model and its features on the official site. For example I once had a MoBo with ALC880 crap. All in all it has EAX 2.0 so you get the Realtek SoundBack or what's its name and test it. https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysundog Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Guess I was wrong, it did have a realtek driver, just not the realtek HD audio manager, dont know how much good that is anyway... after all, I can't have the sound on the speakers anymore (new baby), maybe I should be investing in better headset?? However, I did get the 3D Soundback prog working, and the effects are much better... explosions are hella loud now!! I still like my "Dual Rotor" sound mod better than the stock sound tho, and I'm thinking of tuning the cannon sound to be a bit louder. All in another day, (or weekend) I've got to get up for work tomorrow... EDIT Ever since I did the 3D soundback install, I have NO cannon sound...? I think i may have err'd here, any thoughts??

crazysundog Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 If you have Realtek soundcard, you need to download realtek's 3Dsoundback. ALchemy is for Creative users. I had to install 3dsoundback 3 times before it worked; but now i can hear my cannon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
