JT8D Immersion Soundpack - Maddog X Edition

[Pe11e]

Finally it's here.

The soundpack includes TWO versions of the engine sounds - "Immersive" and "Authentic".

"Immersive" version represent a passenger cabin sound experience, closest to sitting near the JT8D engines.
"Authentic" reproduces a sound experience from the flight deck, of course if you keep the engine volume slider at realistic levels (any values around 5-10, depending on your audio setup and Maddog X volume settings). For sound demonstration purposes, we kept the engine sound slider at 60.
 

Features:

• Completely authentic JT8D-200 high definition sounds.
• Two versions of engine sounds included - customers practically get two soundpacks in one! 
• Both version have completely distinctive sounds, including startup and shutdown. 
• Characteristic thump sound during engine startup, authentic compressor bass and iconic engine buzz.
• Highly accurate external engine sounds with full sound cones.
• High quality groundroll sound.
• Wind noise
• Optimized sounds for Buttkicker and other bass-shakers

Cheers all!

No. That was Maddog X Cockpit Sound Immersion. New one is focused on engine sounds, and first time as I know, shipping with two versions of engine sounds in one package.

Nice, will there be any discount for those who purchased the other versions of Maddog X Cockpit Sound Immersion?  Thanks.

Thank you @Pe11e !

Your post has made me consider a "SoundPack" for the first time in my simmer "career" and also the Maddog which I do miss since Ilast used it long long ago with fs9 and then for a little while FSX...

Just visited their page and it's available for v5.x too, so, a sure buy for me !

Just wonder if it works in v6 too ?

As far as I heard, Leonardo will update Maddog X for v6 sometime in the near future. The soundpack will be too, if necessary.

Cheers!

Hi! We usually have an upgrade discount from v1 to v2 of the specific soundpack. When we released 737NG CFM Immersion Soundpack V2, it was even free for the users of the V1, but there was no a discount for NGX Cockpit Sound Immersion users.

Best regards

I remember the old sound pack caused controversy because you couldn’t completely cancel the engine buzz saw sound in the cockpit which real world pilots said you couldn’t hear in the real aircraft. I assume this is corrected? In fact the engines are inaudible.

There is no old soundpack for the Maddog X that we did, and affected engine sounds. This is our first soundpack for the Maddog X engine sounds, you probably mixed our product with other. Also, we, of course noted in the Quick User Guide and other sources, that you can reduce the P3D engine volume slider to around 5 to 10 (depending which version of engine sounds you chose in our soundpack), to simulate MD-8x realistic audio environment where engines are barely audible only during the start of the takeoff. After that it's all silence up to the gate.

OK thanks. I think it might have been TSS that had it. It sounded good on the outside but terrible in the cockpit. Sounds like yours is better.

@Pe11e One more question please sir. I have the cockpit sound immersion. Do I need to install that with this engine sound pack or does the engine sound pack bring the cockpit sounds as well?

Thanks.

Well, if you want Maddog X to sound exactly like in the promo video, install first Cockpit Sound Immersion, then JT8D soundpack. JT8D soundpack will overwrite few sound files like wind and apu.
JT8D soundpack is developed and tested with Cockpit Sound Immersion already installed into Maddog X.

No, both are separate sound packs. One is strictly covering cockpit sounds (avionics, packs, switches, levers, warnings, etc), and other covers strictly the engine sounds. If you want Maddog X to sound exactly like in the promo video, install first Cockpit Sound Immersion, then JT8D soundpack. JT8D soundpack will overwrite few sound files like wind and apu.

Thank you.

No worries.

Just a heads up, I edited my reply in the meantime trying to make it more clear how soundpacks function.

Best regards,

Hey! I would like to ask, in the JT8D sound immersion pack, every sound has their own label. They do not match the label in the original maddog x sounds. Therefore, I am unable to replace the original sounds, and I just have many extra sounds just sitting there that cannot be used. How do I fix this?
