question: best 737-300 sound set

Featured Replies

Hi guyscould you tell me what you consider to be the best currently available soundset for a 737-300/400/500Does this generation sound any different to the NG series?ThanksChris

Does no-one have any ideas here? ThanksChris

I am using the sound set from AFG. I think it's appropriate for these but it sounds great anyway. http://www.alliedfsgroup.com/display.php?id=32Best regards,Todd

Chris:I use a most marvellously engineered set of 737 sound files called ar732sn1.zip by Daniel Careri. I got them from flightsim.com; they are FS2000 but they work with no tweaks in FS2002. They are thoroughly fabulous with great turbine whine and excellent balance and modulation. The ZIP is 13MB and unzipped it is 13.8MB. A file to get and to use and to remember!The AFG 737 files are also great but better suited to the 737-800 model with a heavier howl and turbine sound. Download the Careri ZIP file now !JS

JS, those are for JT8s, not CFMs, correct?Todd

Correct! I like the old fashioned jet whine.The AFG files for the 738 simulate the CFM fans well.JS

IMHO the best are the ones offered in the DF GA 737 package as they were recorded from an actual 737-300 :)John

Thanks guys for your suggestions! I've got the Dreamfleet package but I'm somehow not satisfied with the sound, although the startup sounds are good. The shutdown is a bit disappointing. I'll try out the AFG sounds.Incidentally, can JT8D sounds also be used for the 727? Or does it sound quite different to a 737-200? I'm a bit of a fan of the old JT8D's! Nice and loud and dirty!! :)Chris

I assure you, the Careri sound files are super and exciting! And you can use them for the 727 as well. JS
