awful sounds DHC-6

Featured Replies

Hi,I'm flying with the DHC-6 Twin otter of Premier aircraft design (www.premaircraft.com) and I really like this plane and cockpit, the developers really did a good job! Als the sound is very nice, like I'm sitting in a real turboprop...But on my computer the sound has some awful 'bugs' in it...what I mean are these 'nip-sounds' you hear, for example when you have you volume too high...then your sound starts to change.But my sound preferences are perfect, I don't have this 'nip-thing' with any other aircraft, just with this one.For those who don't know about what I'm talking, I've recorder a 30seconds fragment of a take off with the airplane. You hear the 'nips' very clear...In the beginning, just after the fade-in, you can hear the first one:http://omikros.chftp.com/sound_DH6.mp3If order you can see my preferences, I've taken some snapshots of the settings of FS and my soundcard:a>I think everything is correct, isn't it? If not, please tell what I will have or could change to vanish these awful, irritating sounds...Thank you!Greetings,Alex

Hi Alex, First, smart idea attaching a soundbyte of what you are hearing because one person's "nip" may be maybe something else to another. :D What I am hearing is the 'nip' is actually a 'click' that occurs when the soundfile is looping. The sound ends and for a brief second (or I should I say part of a second), the sound is starting from the beginning of the loop. It may be that whoever made the recording just did not make it 'tight enough' where there is a small gap at the end or beginning of the recording.You could always edit it yourself if you havethe knowhow or if it's really buggin' ya try to find a new sound set for the aircraft.

Thanks for sharing that sound file :). I sometimes have that horrible "click" sound. As ClutchCargo said, it's connected to the "loop" in the sound file. I hope you fix it .... the sound is veyr annoying :-boom------------------------------------------------------------------"The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."Proverbs 22

Hi Alex, I have played your sound file several times, but I do not notice any "nips". Then I listened with a higher volume: again no "nips". Everything sounds just fine on my PC.Jozef K. http://homepages.onsnet.nu/~jkusters/signature.jpg

that's odd...Anyway, indeed it's the looping that causes these dropouts...As you said, they are not 'nip' but dropouts.Anyway thanks again for your helpgreetzAlex
