747 Engine Sounds

[3-2-1-Now 126]

Hi,I was wondering: does the engine sounds from the flight deck sound the same for all 3 engine variants, or is this just something to do with the sim?I've noticed that when starting a PW vs. the RR from the flight deck, that there is a sound of (what I presume) is low frequency vibration during spool-up, which isn't present with the RR.Upon application of full thrust, both engine types sound the same. Is this correct?Just curious! :)Best regards,Robin.

Robin,Which version - FSX or FS9? Do you have the 744F? Fully up-to-date?All I can comment on is my experience with the FS9 744/744F and the latest update, whereby the engines sound different throught all phases of operation.Sorry I can't be of more help, a little more ifno as per above and we'll see what else we can do. :-)

Hi Mark,FS2004.It's a clean install - I installed V1.10 of the 744, then the 744F, then the V1.2 update (apparently it is all-encompassing).Apart from the startup/shutdown, there is little (if any) discernible difference in the sound between versions.Best regards,Robin.

Do a serach on avsim for the 747 RB211 superpack it's the best sound pack out there.

If you're new to the aircraft you might not have noticed it yet. I haven't flown much PW, but I fly a mix of RR and GE and could tell you which variant I was in with my eyes closed.If you're certain the sounds are the same perhaps there is an issue to address?

Yep the PMDG soundset is good but I think you should give it a try mark, altough I tweaked some of the wav files on my setup...Realistic systems are top priority for me, the next is the soundset, or sounds in general :) been playing guitar for around 20 years now , My surround sound system alone for my PC set me back
