chumpnut1323 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Love the Harrier, Razbam did a terrific job on it thus far. With that said, can we please get a exterior sound update to something similar, to the real thing? Obviously low priority but would be nice.

kotor633 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hi, You're absolutely right. The sound of the Harrier in DCS is terrible. And should be revised. And Razbam is doing just as good a job here as they are currently doing with the M2k. 1 ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

yngvef Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Let me just add to this post. External sounds on the Harrier are so crappy that I almost never fly it. It's a cool plane but I just get so annoyed whenever I want to enjoy it from any external viewpoint. It's the absolute worst module in DCS when it comes to sounds. It's nothing like the real plane and flyby sounds especially terrible. Also, when standing still on the ground there is zero difference when moving the camera around the plane. It doesn't have different sounds regardless if you are looking into the nozzles or the intake. And ANYONE who has ever seen a real plane of any type knows that they sound vastly different depending on where you see it from. If Razbam never fixes this then I have severe doubts about ANY of their upcoming modules as well. And the fact that they've barely made any changes or fixes to this for years makes it even worse. It's not like the AV-8B is a new module anymore. In fact, I can't believe that ED accepts such low quality sounds in a sim that they've tried to upgrade the sound quality in for years. Just compare to EDs own planes like F/A-18 and F-16 which are sounding pretty decent. Ofcourse a game can never truly capture the sound and feeling of powerful jet engines, but the current harrier sounds like a vacuum cleaner. They CAN do better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumpnut1323 Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yea, you actually wrote what I really wanted to write, but I'm careful of the fanboy's around here now that can't take constructive criticism well haha. That said, the Harrier is my first love, and I would like to see some improvement. Ranking of your comments (in my opinion): Almost never fly it because of exterior sound. How does ED accept such dog <profanity>? Vacuum cleaner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I mostly have a problem with its internal engine sound (wheezing vacuum cleaner about to die), but it's the same for me. I've actually tried modifying the sound in Audacity to get rid of the wheeze, but couldn't manage it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep you guys updated when we'll have the resources to work on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chumpnut1323 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Maybe just buyout this sound design? This brings me back to my first ever airshow witnessing the deafening Harrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaJuliet Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Yeah we've seen that, it sounds great. We still have to timestamp for a sound rework unfortunately 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
