New sound package coming soon

Featured Replies

Ok people.Today's the release but i want to first have a little poll. here's the situation, I'me eager to release but I know there's something bugging me and it's holding me back from releasing. It's just not quite right! I would be happy to release it now, but I know it's not perfect.It's the CRUISE! I've got landing and takeoff/taxi all hooked it, it's just that during the cruise you must NOT here the engines or else they get on your nervers because 1) it's annoying to here a constant scream in background! and 2) you don't here them in real life during the cruise phase. However, you need to here thm on takeoff and landing so what I did is tried making the wind sound during the cruise just loud enough so that it covers the engines. However, the wind sound has become too loud and you get to the point where you have to turn your speakers down. Then coming into landing, everythings quiet and you have to turn them up. I want to elimnate this problem! However, I'm leaving the decision making to you. Do you want a release now or a bit delayed? Have it now, and you get to play with it, though having to adjust speakers all the time! Have it later, and I promise a fantastic sound file with all sliders in the middle for FS2002 settings and no speaker messing about! 6 on one, half a dozen on the other.What's it gona be?Cheers[br]obklogo.gif[/img][/font][/b]

Keep up your word and release, please. We can then "play" and adjust, as you explain

Ben,simple solution - release the package and get feedback from a wide range of users about whether or not to release an updated cruise sound file or not, once everyone has had a chance to use it and see what they think.

Hi Ben,Please just release the sounds first and you can perhaps give an update some other time. All of us are anxiously waiting for your sounds! Thanks! :)Russell J. :-rotor :-beerchug :-rotor

Hi BenI agree with the rest of the guys here - please just release the sounds:-) As Russell said, you can always provide an update later on to correct the cruise sounds.I was invited to a wedding reception lastnight, but I left early to download these sounds, but to my shock, they still werent released:-mad Im so looking forward to these sounds - Please just release them:-) Best regards,Lee Holland.

Any news yet Ben ??Im anxiously awaiting this sound package as im sure the rest of the PICers are too:-) Will it be released today afterall ?? I apologise in advance if im starting to sound pushy, but I personally would really love to be able to download the sounds tonight before its back to reality at 08:00GMT and back to work :( Any updates would be really appreciated.Regards,Lee Holland.

Ok here goes!Just uploading it now so I best tell you it's going to be available quite soon, say in the next 20mins (56K upload!).http://homepage.ntlworld.com/obk/7675SoundsOBK.rarUse WINRAR to extract...it's quite a bit smaller file than a ZIP, tho if you all have winzip favored, I can do a ZIP, it will just take till tomorow to upload!4.98mb the file in RAR format btw. Instructions included.Please understand I have been a bit pressured into getting it finished and it's an ongoing project and I would love feedback from you to make it perfect! I suppose if i kept it another day to myself I would just alter things unecessarily, so I'll leave the deciding and alteration requests upto you. Just send comments to [email protected]! (P.S - Last minute mod made to 767 sound version without testing, beware! I didn't test it as I thought I knew exactly what needed modding so if it works, it works, if it sounds ugly then I'll modify).Cheers[br]obklogo.gif[/img][/font][/b]

Hey OBK. No apologies required. You did this on your own time and it is freeware. We are greatful. Thanks.

I just installed them OBK. All i have to say is OUTSTANDING. You should be the sound man for all payware sound files. You da man. You and Sir Lee should hook up.

OBK:Just a quick question. Why do I hear the sounds a lot louder, when on the ground, on the left side? Is this just to simulate me sitting closer to the left engine?

Only one thing to say thanks a lot. Just try and it seems wonderfull.Tomorow will make longer fly if I have something else to say I will post it.But in every cases thanks a lot for your time givin us more enjoyment in Flight simmingMichel

Outstanding job!It is just like Eric once said, nothing but wind noise up front ;-)Thanks,Eddie D

Hi OBKI can't speak for anyone else but, much as I'd love to try your new sounds, I don't have WINRAR. Please will you also upload a zip file?Many thanksPaul Croft

Winrar is free Paul. www.rarlabs.com

Thanks everyone for the comments, it was a bit of a rush to get released but I'm glad I have now! Like I keep saying it's an ongoing project and I will continue to make it better! You'll see I'm sure within a month it will be better and so on...I'm a very meticulous chap! (sp?).Like prattman said, there's something wrong with the panning. I did put a parameter in the sound file to tell flight sim to stop doing this but...flightsim will be flightsim and it ignores my command.If I can just ask prattman exactly which sound do you recognise coming louder from the left side, is it the packs sound like I thought?It doesn't sound too bad in my room because I have the surround setup and I have a program that governs panning (I think :)). Let me know what the sound is that has a panning differential and I'll sort it.Thanks again for the comments, I'm flattered and it's certainly a moral booster :+Cheers[br]obklogo.gif[/img][/font][/b]
