Sounds like a worthwhile task for a sound effects engineer and/or Foley stage perhaps? Do your best live recordings and use them as source reference to recreate isolated soundalikes of the desired events on a sound stage with all of the control for volume pacing etc that you need.  I’ve worked with those guys indirectly for 30 years - it’s pretty amazing the sounds they can create for movies.  And if you have real samples sources to compare to while you are recording I’m sure you can reproduce something that would sound absolutely genuine even to the experts.

After all, why should sound be the only aspect of the simulation that must be directly sampled and not “simulated” - see what I did there? 😉

SCS put an immense amount of time and effort into sounds for their ETS/ATS series.  It's quite impressive the immersive world they have built.  They often blog about when they have access to one of the trucks in the sim.

you want facts? Here's your facts.... about 30 years reading forums. Obsessively so. A memory of what people are speaking about, topics, and big threads. 3 years developing a sim where sound was my number one thing... next to visuals and flight modeling. I directed the entire team to make Flight Unlimited 3 to what it was at the time. We flew each and every aircraft. We recoreded sounds. We did it all in 1997-1999 with what limited technology we had.... and it was first class for that era. Then I worked at FlightSim.Com for 2 years running the message base, answering and helping folks. Again, remembering what is popular because it was my hobby and job. Then another 18+ years as a professional pilot. My ears recording every sound into memory every day. I think I know more about sound than almost anyone. I obsessively read sim forums every day. So, in a nutshell there's my 30 + years of sim experience. So yeah, if I want to say "70%" don't care, that's what I think... it's an opinon pole ran by myself. I've been in this business professionally and for recreationaly enough time to know. But that's my take on stuff....only... mine.

People that get this unhinged about a sim have no place in a real aircraft. 

wow. Ok, you're confusing love and  passion of a hobby with real world experience and sim development to make a snarky remark, but that's ok I really don't care about people like you anymore - but you feel good here, and I am so happy for you - years ago this hobby was filled with great contributors and far less anger or attack, far before you were born most likely
