Black shark internal rotor sound level and LPF

Been flying the shark with this mod for a couple of hours and I really like it.

However, the volume of the KA-50s rotor blades is a bit jarring. The rotor blade is the same volume in the cockpit as in the external (F2) view at full zoom. Surely this can't be right?

 

Does the DCSW engine allow any kind of LPF?

 

Cheers zzzspace. :)

 

Yes, the sound-engine does have an adjustable LPF function. But there's no independent rotor sound for the interior. It just uses the spill-over from the exterior rotor sounds (two of them), so using LPF in those .sdefs ... well, you can image what would happen.

 

The only interior balancing you can edit with respect to the outside level in the BS are the levels of the interior turbine sounds, for both left and right engines, with respect to each other, and also with respect to the external turbine sound level. But the interior turbine sounds are both set to about 40% of the level of the external turbine sound in this mod.

 

I'm guessing you're not having an actual functional cockpit audibility issue of any kind, that this is just an aesthetic issue? That it should not be as loud as the exterior level, and should have an LPF cut at say around 1.2k and up?

 

Which means it would require its own separate interior rotor sound .wav file and its own .sdef file for setting the gain and LPF.

 

I'll report this as an 'issue' in the Sound Bugs and Issues forum.
