Runway sounds

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Am I missing something? When taking off or landing a jet airliner I really don't hear much runway noise. While watching videos of actual aircraft landing and taking off the Runway expansion crack sounds are very pronounced. This seems to be missing for me in Microsoft flight simulator. It takes away quite a bit of the realism. I have seen videos of FBW's 320 add-on and it seems to be present in that. I have tried all the sound settings and adjusted to no avail. I have also tested on Microsoft detailed enhanced airports and still the same. What can I do to get the sound more realistic when taking off or Landing a jet aircraft?

Thanks in advance!

FBW has custom sounds which the default airliners don't have.

So the default sounds are As Good As It Gets? I was hoping it was a setting or something I was doing wrong. May have to download the fly by wire 320. Any other options out there?

OP here, installed the FBW A320. The sounds are excellent, major improvement over original 320. Great job FBW!
