Yeah, I was wondering why it got moved, since Waffle posted an announcement of v1.8 (I think it was that version) of his pack, and I think it got moved, too.

Fruda - I hate to be an arse, but do you remember when I posted several times about using the sounds that I edited together for use in other packs? The one about it being ok to use if you mix and match on your own pc, but not to "lift" for use in the creation of other soundpacks - at least as long as I am around Aces High?

Checkout your stall sound in the 51 preview pack.

Just a gentleman's request.

Keep up the work - looking forward to hearing some new sounds for AH.

I'm not sure why you show zero downloads. I know that I downloaded the preview...the engine sounds are very good...they have a deeper (real) sound to them.

I think your server is reporting false info to you.

I wish you guys would quit screwing with the "check 6" and "warning" sounds, though. Just my opinion.

Now it's showing the downstream info. Sitesled must've been doing maintenance.

Thanks for downloading the preview... Still waiting for Nefarious to upload his GV sounds, lol.

Yeah, I'm just using that as a placeholder. I've got more stall horns. You should hear the one I have for the Lancaster III.

Don't worry --- None of your stuff will be in the final product. I am, however, using some of Spade's buzzers and Check6/Warning sounds, since he said I could.

I flew tonight with the P-51 preview installed for the first time. I hope you don't mind my open honesty here. The startup and shutdown sound good. But, the full-rev.....errrmmm...IMHO...not so good. 1) it sounds like a helicopter. I kept looking for the collective.

2) there is this sound that repeats every 2 seconds or so. that was what drove me nuts.

I'm not a sound guru, like you and Waffle. So, I don't presume to tell you how to do your job. But, maybe if the sample was a bit longer, there would be less chance of the annoying repeat?

Just had to say what I felt.

Fruda · « **Reply #21 on:** September 24, 2004, 03:11:08 PM »

Thanks for the response. I'll check that repeat out...

...But, that "helicopter" sound is how a Merlin engine sounds when you're in the cockpit. I think the Merlin sound most of you are familiar with is the external one.

I *had* a thread in the Feeback forum about external engine sounds, and why we need them. It would be a very nice addition to the game, and wouldn't take much extra work.

Well, since I'm on my old PC now, I can hear exactly what you're talking about.

I optimized this pack for users with newer sound cards, such as SB Live! and up.

I use an Audigy 2 ZS on my gaming machine, and the annoying sound we hear ever 2 seconds or so is an engine cycle effect. These old cards just don't have the fidelity to mix it and display it correctly, thus the annoying "chunk" sound you're talking about.

Low-res sound cards and on-board audio will not do this pack justice.

http://www.newegg.com

They have SB Audigy 2 ZS cards for about $100, if you can spare it. It's worth the price.

This is my current soundcard:

Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Dell), DR release 1.1.3

Are your card's settings maxed?

It's not a technical problem. The sound is something that is part of the natural sample. Where I meant to go with my post is...perhaps a longer sample would help the engine sounds from seeming repetitive.
