December 29, 200916 yr Hey guys,I have started looking around for third party sounds to make my perfect planes even better. One of the planes I want to give better engine sounds, is the LDS767, of which I think the engine sounds simply could be a lot better. What engine sounds can you recommend? And, how do I merge them with the LDS767? Because whatever happens, I don't want to lose the extensive set of F/O, ground personnel and cabin crew sounds. Can anybody help with this?By the way, even if you're not to sure about the LDS767 specifically, but you do know it for another well known jetliner (such as the Wilco Airbus Volume 2), feel free to post. I assume it works the same way for every model, regardless of the specific file names.

I am interested to get an answer too. I find that the sound is quite good while climbing but not in cruise path for me or maybe not at the same high stand quality of other features and components.Bye.Riccardo Capt.

December 29, 200916 yr Hi Benjamin, for the 767 i use Patrick Cramer's 767/747 sound pack from flightsim. The start up is brilliant and so far its the best ive found. Give it a go, hopefully you'll like it.Chris Chris Howard
December 29, 200916 yr how do I merge them with the LDS767? Because whatever happens, I don't want to lose the extensive set of F/O, ground personnel and cabin crew sounds.I find Level-D sounds very nice and realistic. Especially taking into consideration we simulate being in the cockpit (and so it was made).But if you still have a different opinion, you do not have to merge anything.All engine sounds will go to the Sound folder of your Aircraft/Level-D addon.Cockpit and crew sounds are placed in another location so do not worry about them.They, by the way, can also be modified, but it is a more difficult task.There is a great addon (search around, preferably in the LVLD forum) of radio-disstorted version of crew dialogues.I hope I didn't mess anything as I don't have my LVLD installed at the momentI'm queenoftheskying and fokkering these days.
December 29, 200916 yr There is a great addon (search around, preferably in the LVLD forum) of radio-disstorted version of crew dialogues.Why would there be radio distortion in crew dialogues?
December 29, 200916 yr Why would there be radio distortion in crew dialogues?Since the ground crew and flight attendants usually communicate with the flightdeck indirectly. :( The original LVLD crew voices sound too clear to some tastes.By the way it's a very good freeware version, worth trying!

I assume it works the same way for every model, regardless of the specific file names.I think that I've tried just about all of em from payware to freeware and the best one IMHO to capture the feel of the 767 with GE engines are David Sylversteins (sic?) that were available here in the library. All of his sounds truely capture the whole range of notes. And obviously, simply turn down the volume for realistic sound levels in the flight deck. What you get is the distant deep groan as the engines come to life on start up, the relative quiet aftwards for taxi and low power, followed by the excitement of the screaming pitch change as the engines pass 70% N1 and prepare to force the bird into the air. Finally, the deep disappointing whine of the engines as you force them to stop purring at the end of your journey.

I haven't used the original crew voices for a long time, but I remember the relevant ones having some distortion to them. I thought you meant the FO voice is also distorted which would not make sense.
December 29, 200916 yr Commercial Member As a sound developer, I can tell you the LDS 767 is unique due to the way it handles soundsets.Instead of hearing the engine rpm, on the LDS 767 it plays the throttle position... that's why you hear the sounds skip when using it.It's gonna mess up, and when use some of the high quality soundsets out there from Mike Maarse, Devyn Silverstein and others they will not work as intended.So using highly detailed soundsets with it just won't work unfortunately :(

December 30, 200916 yr Author Yeah, I've been eyeing the TSS 767 GE soundset. It says it has been tested with the LDS767, so I guess I can assume it will sound good. And, judging from the video, it does sound very good. No tearing, skipping or anything. I was wondering if I should simply get that, or is there freeware stuff that might be better? I have indeed come across Sylverstein's freeware sounds, and I think it's those that I ended up downloading. didn't give it a go, though. Too busy sorting out problems with Luxembourg Airports...

Too busy sorting out problems with Luxembourg Airports...I have TSS sounds for GE PW and RR engines on another well known 767 and do not have any issues with them. One other choice might be to look at Synchro-soft's version of the GE CF6-80C2B7F. This package was made for FS9. Some of the freeware mentioned above are excellent as well. I honestly have lost track of which seem to be the best to my ears. Good luck!Keith Keith Guillory
December 30, 200916 yr Unlikely, 15 bucks is the market now for a good soundset. If I ever started selling my stuff separately it would probably be priced the same.Chris makes good stuff, you should give some of his sets a try.Maybe, but three soundsets (PW, GE & RR) will run me 30 euros. Half the cost of a top of the line aircraft add-on. Sorry, but no cigar. I could understand 10, maybe 15 EUR for the lot, but 30 EUR? Even I'm not that crazy. I'll pass.
