IADC Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 A few thoughts...... The current engine sound in the P51 seems not to portray the stress noises an engine makes when taken through its power range. I have not been in a p51 so i would not know but having flown small fixed wing aircraft there is definitely a range of harmonic frequencies one will sense when moving from mid range power to full power. It might just be my old deaf earols but what it sounds like to me is that there is only one engine sound and it seems the only thing that changes between half/reduced power and full power is the volume, no real pitch change. Being as nimble as this little plane is and of course the G effect/lock i seem to constantly live in, it would make a big difference to SA if there was more feel to the sound we hear. A difference in cockpit and engine sound between doing 200 300 and 400 knots and when that engine is screaming at full power as opposed to mid power would help to keep you in the perfect speed and power range without having to refer to the instruments all the time. Just a thought…………….. I looked in my rear view mirror again and that guy is still there, getting very suspicious now :joystick:
