Hi folks,
Searching for good sounds for AI I found out that there's not much to find. Mostly the sounds you can find are for the plane you're flying, and that's not the same: then the internal sounds are made as if you are fixed close to your own engine, and in a jet that's allways in front of it. So just copying the files in the SOUND folder to a SOUNDAI folder of the AI aircraft will give you unreal internal sounds of AI aircraft passing by.
Also, these sounds are far to complex for AI, each engine doesn't need a separate soundmap, you are not sitting in between the engines, the AI aircraft is mostly in the distance.
So I thought why not make them myself. My idea of a good AI sound pack is that they are as lightweight as possible but with well thought-out sound cones (fsx) and good and realistic sound files. The external sounds should be crisp and clear and internal the same sounds should be somewhat muffled.
Engine spool-up with grinding fan sound and landings with reverser thrust is what we want!
I first made a A320 sound pack, you can download and try it. Tell me if it's good or crap, so I know if I should make more...
Oh, to the real sound freaks out there, I'm not a speciast in engine types so don't expect 100% authentic sounds. But if you have any suggestions or tips, please tell me.
The download is called 'A320 AI Sounds by MaVe'.
