Oh, and if bustr wants to hear what it sounds like with a headset/helmet let him put one on. 

Solved.

No one records what the pilot really hears do they.........

No, but you over-thought this one. In WWII they stuffed cotton into their ears and then turned the radio-receiver up. I bet you already have cotton.

Sound depends on a pressure wave. The pressure wave would be greatly reduced inside of a helmet, and therefore there is no mic that would record very well inside of a helmet. This is also why a mic inside of the canopy does not record what you might expect (and for a few other reasons).

Any attempt to record from the cockpit is going to result in the same result and anyone like Vraciu is going to comment likewise. Just look at the situation (break it down logically, just not with Vraciu logic) and you may understand why that is, but recording under the headphones will never be the answer.

Recording under a headphone in order to accurately duplicate engine sound is, well, silly for numerous reasons.  Nevermind the minimal/non-existent hearing protection back then.   

I've had devices under my headset to measure decibel levels for various studies.   Even these measurements were subject to lots of variables. 

Bottom line despite your protestations: in-game the Mustang cockpit sounds like a lawnmower.  In real life not so much.

Just to be absolutely clear on how I feel about this:



That's what I call confirmation.

Yep.  While "Pretty much" leaves some latitude it confirms what *I* (along with my friend and the OP) have said.   The game sound is not accurate. 

Thanks for posting.  :aok

Incorrect, as usual. I think if Kermit thought the recordings sounded more like a lawnmower than a P-51 he would have said so, and yet he confirmed that the recording is what he hears as the pilot. So go troll another thread and celebrate your complete and utter failure.

He said of the recording "pretty much"--hardly a resounding endorsement, nor a refutation of what I said about it.    Also note, he did not comment on the game sound. 

Keep trying.   :aok

I will go with him over your non-existent unverified friend. 'Pretty much' obviously means something different to you, but I expected you wouldn't except it even if Kermit had said, "Yes, that's it exactly." What I get from what Kermit said is that this guy on the bbs named Vraciu just doesn't know how to accept being wrong.

You also have a strong need to have the last word. So, enjoy that.

You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. 

The sound in the game is not accurate.  The sound you claim to be "accurate" does not match the game.    Thus, your buddy Weeks confirms both what my friend said and my continuous contention. 

I just remembered a guy I ran into not too long ago who flies Jim Cavanaugh's P-51.   I will consult him as well next time I stop by that neck of the woods.

As someone with perfect hearing (according to my doctor :) ) the P51 does not sound like a damn lawn mower lol. Maybe something is wrong with your computer. Or maybe you have forgotten what a lawnmower sounds like?

It's the sound everything makes when you live with the irrational fear of lawn mowers.

Or, it's from watching too many movies and becoming conditioned to believe that every high-horsepower engine has to fill the room with THX awfulness.

They made a movie about me based on a Stephen King novel.
