October 30, 201114 yr Hello,Was a new sound for touchdown added in SP1? I have noted that now whenever I touchdown there is a noticeably different sound to before!Thanks, Will Wilson
October 30, 201114 yr Author Thanks. Good to know that it's not caused by a dodgy landing technique! Will Wilson
October 30, 201114 yr Me too, thought I'd hit the runway too hard Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

October 30, 201114 yr Yeah, and the airstairs now have a sound effect as well when you extend/retract them.
October 30, 201114 yr Glad you like 'em!The touchdown sound isn't just a sound that plays the same on every landing - Robert coded it so that the volume of the sound is proportional to the vertical speed on impact - the harder the landing the louder the sound! Armen L CholakianPMDG Sound Engineer

October 30, 201114 yr - Robert coded it so that the volume of the sound is proportional to the vertical speed on impact - the harder the landing the louder the sound! That explains why I almost fell off my chair on the first landing with the -600 Sounds awesome! Thomas Danielsen - FAA Commercial Pilot, JAA ATPL

That rattle scared the bejesus out of me! Great stuff!
October 30, 201114 yr Additional thanks and praise to PDMG staff for a wonderful Service Pack 1! GREAT job and many many improvements/refinements. Much appreciation and many thanks.I have a silly question: when you install a Livery do you automatically give up the HUGS display (perhaps because that 'airline' the livery is for doesn't use HUGS on it's 737ngx planes)?I added a United Livery (this was during Hotfix 4) and the HUGS was not present on that specific aircraft. If the answer is 'sometimes we omit the HUGS' what liveries in the 737-800 series offer HUGS over and above the "House" liveries?Robert McDonald R.

October 31, 201114 yr Glad they did it!Most of the landings I made I was wondering if i already touched or not.When performing touch and goes on a short field it' s pretty disturbing....Bert Van Bulck
October 31, 201114 yr I'm glad as well that they added the sound, as it was very difficult to discern touchdowns in the past because there was really no audible feedback whatsoever. This is a small touch of realism, but a very needed one at best. I remember wanting to post this as a suggestion for the service pack a while back, but had forgotten to, so I'm happy to see itimplemented and that it is also responds accordingly to the rate of impact.
