Landing gear "thunk"?

Featured Replies

This is a "sound" concern.  I would like to know if there's any way to amplify the "thunk" of the landing gear on airliners when employing or retracting them.  I love that sound of realism.  I haven't found that sound in P3d on any of the airliners I fly.  Oh, yes...you can hear gear deployment, but it doesn't have that distinct THUNK that I'm looking for.

If there is a way to change it in the config or sound folder or if there is a separate Sound Download somewhere where you have heard it, I would appreciate your input on this.

A2A AccuFeel might do this for you.

I do have AccuFeel.  I'll explore that.

I checked.  There's nothing in AccuFeel that can do what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

You'll likely have to identify the sound for the gear.

Once you've got the correct sound you can modify it in a tool like Audacity (free sound managment tool).

It's what I did to build the addon immersive sound set for the C208B here.

If you have the FSLabs A320, you will certainly have heard a large thunk when the gear is extended.

I downloaded Audacity yesterday; now I just have to learn how to use it for this specific purpose.  I think it just might work, however.

Thanks for the tip.
