grafspee Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I was taxing among other F4Us and i must say that they need to hire sound specialist because it is a mess right now, there is overwhelming constant sound of the engines it fades away with distance but there is almost no lost of sound level for fair amount of distance and then suddenly it fades away at certain distance. Another thing there is no change in sound in cockpit during power changes and rpm changes. If no one noticed it then i must have something wrong with my setup then. 3 System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor
Devil 505 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I could not agree more. I grew up in and around 6 of these beautiful girls. Magnitude knocked everything out of the park except for the engine sounds. They need some work for sure. I hate to compare them to Black Bird simulations Corsair in MSFS, but they hit the mark a lot closer. I hope Magnitude teams up with Echo 19 to get the sounds right on the old girl. This should be priority. They totally missed the mark on the whistling death. 6
skywalker22 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Also from the cockpit view, when throttling the engine (from min to max), max pitch engine sound is reached at a half way through, from half way on the sound doesn't change at all. From min to max there is little difference in the engine sound as well. And I would dare to say it should be more more louder from inside of the cockpit. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-pBV5GD8flc 3
cellinsky Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Love this bird, but the sounds need a overhowl. One of the biggest radials ever produced should have much more bite. Echo19 please. 2
T.Power Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I'm an audio mastering engineer and saw the comments about the sound so I bought it to see if I could beef them up, unfortunately the sound files are encrypted. 3 "For many the glass is half empty whilst for others it is half full, but for some, the milk is sour." - Unknown French Philosopher

Devil 505 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) It pains me to say MSFS pulled the sounds off better than M3LLC. This was a video a shot over a year ago on MSFS with the Milviz (Blackbird Simulations) Corsair. I really hope Magnitude teams up with Echo 19. They totally missed the mark and did not even come close to the whistling noise she made in a dive, hence Whistling Death. Edited June 20 by Devil 505 2
Guldendrak Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Agree with everyone, the sound of the plane need a complete overhaul. 1

Hopefully someone can fix this. Echo19 would do a great job for sure, but not for free (nor should it be). Pretty bummed to see the early adopters disappointed in one of the most iconic aspects of the Corsair.

I_Gamer Posted June 21 Posted June 21 It pains me to see this thread. M3 had sent me messages a long time ago, years now, but unfortunately they went cold on us. Maybe we will get contacted again if enough "noise" is made, but not sure. Polychop saw the opportunity to work with us, and the community has loved our work and involvement on projects. So, why not... It's up to Magnitude 3 at this point if they choose to re-engage in conversations with us. I hope they do, but we'll see. 11 - - - - - - - - Tyler "Shadow" All things sound @ Echo 19 Audio linktr.ee/echo19audio

Kovacs Posted June 22 Posted June 22 It accelerates quickly when it descends! I love the sound of the wind getting louder, that's what's missing from the module at the moment. You can hear a whistling sound but not that sound of the wind getting louder (a bit like the P-51 from DCS) 1
Mistermann Posted Tuesday at 05:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:44 PM I'll add some video references here as to what the real Corsair sounds like. For those who've never felt the visceral sound of the engine startup, high speed pass, low throaty fly-by, or the whistling death signature sound - well, words just can't describe the sensations one feels being in the presence of such an iconic warbird. Some may feel the mag3 sounds are okay - or even good. That's subjective and your opinion that of course you're entitled to. My opinion, however, is mag3 missed the mark on the corsair massively. Hearing Echo19 ( @I_Gamer ) chime in above suggesting mag3 ghosted them years ago was a real kick in the stomach - especially given the state these sounds are in at EA. @-Rudel- - are you considering making a change to the sounds to bring the Corsair up to what many expect from the Corsair? If this is/was a cash saving decision, I'd suggest there are enough of us that would invest in making the Corsair sound as authentic as possible and encourage you to explore funding options that push the sound environment to the best quality possible within DCS. Even if you have no desire to leverage Echo19, please take a listen to the videos below and honestly evaluate how your rendition sounds against the real thing. The Corsair still flies (although fewer and fewer these days) - get yourself to an airshow and take in firsthand how its supposed to sound. 6 System Specs: Spoiler Callsign:Kandy Processor:13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K - RAM: 64GB - Video Card: NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Display: Pimax 8kx VR Headset - Accessories: VKB Gunfighter III MCG Ultimate, VKB STECS Standard, Thrustmaster TPR Pedals, Simshaker JetPad, Predator HOTAS Mounts, 3D Printed Flight Button Box Video Capture Software: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), Video Editing Software: PowerDirector 35 Into The Jungle (MP Mission) F18: Scorpion's Sting Apache Campaign - Griffins Kiowa Campaign - Assassins

Everyone using different speakers or headphones could be a factor for everyone. My headphones have haptics and rumble like hell when someone takes off. I can hear the cam lope at idle.
