Engine sounds

[Raisuli]

Finally got my plate cleared off enough to fly the CH-47, repaired all the damage ED does with their helpful bindings, took off (it really is easy to fly) and realized the engine sound loop has a high frequency note that triggers migraines.

Is there a way to replace the default engine sound, or is this just not a module I can fly (with the sound on)?  So far, knock on aluminum, this is the only module I've run into that does that.

There was a sound mod that reduces engine sound and increases rotor sound in cockpit. I currently use it but couldn't find in User Files page.

I suggest you to search the mod section of the forum... or anybody could paste the link.

No luck finding a sound mod for the -47, at least not in User files.  Global search for 'sound', tried file type 'sound' (300-something files), no joy.

Got over the headache, just going to leave that parked in the hanger until I can find a way to block out that whine.

Extract the "Sound" folder into "C:\Users\{your-PC-name}\Saved Games\DCS\"

Try this mod. I hope it helps.

There's a little static (which might be something else; I literally just undid ED's 'helpful' axis assignments and configured the cyclic and collective), but this is a mod saver!  Still some whine, but for whatever reason that's not a problem.  Flew from my remote training FARP in Syria to the Helipad of Shame without any ice picks in my head and almost 10x the frame rate I got in 'stan.

The CH-47 is officially a thing thanks to you!  I greatly appreciate it!

9 FPS in Afghanistan (two EA modules at once; not my brightest idea).  I put an F/A-18 at the same base and got ~120 FPS, so that was more about the -47 and less about the map.  Took off, flew around, saw a lot of what people are talking about with chopped textures, landed on that roller coaster runway, taxied around the base, took off on a gravel guard loop next to the wall, re-landed...F-18s are tough aircraft!

74 FPS in Syria.  Off the map in Syria; there were no other object to render anywhere other than the statics at my FOB, but it was still 74 FPS.  Still far below what I would call normal, but...EA.  Kind of expect things like that.

None of this has been re-tested for confirmation, so take it with a salt mine; nothing says I didn't have other apps running the first time and forgot about them.  A bit later I'll try it all again under more controlled circumstances, but I think they moved this thread and that belongs elsewhere.
