So as much as it is not realistic to do so, the Mad Dog I think would benefit from at least 'pretending' that the engines can be heard from the flight deck. Cheers Terry May be true but it's nice to know the Maddog can perform autoland 😉👍 Quote
April 29, 20224 yr 6 hours ago, OzWhitey said: No you can’t, not in a practical sense. The default engine sound in MSFS is at 100% volume. These don’t go up to 11, you can’t turn it up further The problem is that the engines are too soft for many - basically inaudible. Whilst this is realistic in some ways, you lose the sense that throttle changes have an effect. I subbed louder engine sounds into my P3D version, and for me it makes the flying experience much more immersive. The MD-80 cockpit video posted recently had a remark from the pilot stating how quiet the engines were from the cockpit. Perhaps MD had requests from pilots to have an engine sound amplifier in the cockpit? 🤭 CPU Ryzen 7800X 3D RAM 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz GPU GEFORCE RTX 4090 Monitor AOC AGON AG352UCG UltraWide G-Sync @ 3440x1440 Internal Storage 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD External Storage Three 4Tb HDs

April 29, 20224 yr Watching the flightdeck2sim stream now. I think the amount of detail in system simulation is extra ordinary. Textures are not looking that bad either maybe the hardware of other creators were not high end. I still think they can use some improvements but this stream might be the one to change my mind fingers crossed 🙂
April 29, 20224 yr Regarding sounds, here are some sound files you might find of interest of various flight phases that I recorded on two Allegiant flights in 2015- KLAS - KXNA roundtrip Tail numbers N410LV (MD83) Flight 438 and returned on N417NV (MD83) Flight 439 https://filehorst.de/d/epzstJpc Edited April 29, 20224 yr by skully

Not that I get one, but if I did I'd vote to implement a pilot-monitoring in the simulation. PF keeps their eyes out of the cockpit, PM warns them when gauges start to look unhappy.

April 29, 20224 yr The P3D version had an addon from a third part developer which had options for loud or realistic cockpit sounds. I have traveled in the MD-80 and DC-9 in the front part of the cabin and both are silent with just a whoosh sound so I prefered the realistic quieter sound. The DC-9 were still a little louder due to the older turbojets.

April 29, 20224 yr The last of her kind... here's a few shots I took here in Vegas right before Allegiant started phasing them out.

Anyone concerned about price should watch him configure the aircraft for decent and landing and the capabilities and systems of the aircraft when flown by a competent pilot- The new Leonardo Maddog will be worth every penny.
April 29, 20224 yr Super excited for this one! The price is well worth it given a day out with the wife and kids can cost more! There's nothing like a passion project and this is the definition of one. Years of entertainment. Also happy as I will save on the 737-700 and wait for the -800 instead 🙂
