Realistic engine start up sound !

Featured Replies

Hi

 

 

I need more realistic & advanced engine start up sound to add it to both PMDG 747 & MD-11.

Realistic according to what? Have you ever heard a startup from the flightdeck? You can barely hear it, you mostly feel it.

+1, you should be careful to go according to what you may hear on videos from ITVV for example as the camera and microphone positions differ a little from what the pilot would hear and especially with headsets on!

 

From what I can gather from casual observers on the flight deck in the privileged position of the jump seat for the startup and take off, the engine sounds are pretty much spot-on.

 

Kind regards.

Yes i am talken about the sound which can listen from the cockpit.

very true regarding some of the videos that you see, not sure if it is just post editing or the mic picking up certain frequencies. On the flight deck you can't really hear the engines, and in cruise all you hear is wind.

Well, there are developers (one dev at least) who tweak the sound of their helicopter blade "chops" to match what you hear in some Hollywood movie. (Otherwise a certain number of customers would complain the sound "isn't realistic at all".)
