February 25, 201412 yr Hi, Having been used by numerous airplanes, do they sound nearly the same? The thing is I got Aircraft Factory F4U and VS F8F Bearcat that depict PW R2800 sound, however I notice they sound quite differently. I wonder if this is due to "limitation" within the sim or using the same engine doesnt mean produce nearly similar sound? Were there some kinds of power adjustments in accordance with certain airplanes or they just simply put the engines no matter what the characteristic of the planes were.

February 25, 201412 yr There is more to the sound of an airplane than the engines. Also different versions of an engine can sound different.
February 25, 201412 yr Moderator The other differences could be due to the different exhaust systems that were used, Propeller options, whether Water Injection was used, and so forth.

February 26, 201412 yr Also (I am not sure to what extent) how the prop wash interacts with the airframe. Thanks, Ron Fields
February 26, 201412 yr I know well the sound of the P-3C Orion and C-130H Hercules. Both use 4 x Allison T56-A turboprops, but the aircraft sound very different. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
