Title: TRhrottle
Post by: FOGOLD on February 12, 2004, 04:43:34 PM

Wierd. Updated the Beta last night using autoupdate. Now throttle raises volume on throttle noise when opened and reduces throttle noise when closed! Throttle works ok including wep, but wep sound doesn't work.

please read Pyro's update on this. Its a feature, not a bug.

Ok it's not a bug, but it is awful. The engine sounds as though its doing the same RPM but quieter. It's seriously bad news. When you shut the throttle it should sound like it is ticking over.

The AH I engine noise was fine.

engine sounds don't sound like that in real life when you adjust throttle.

I guess that also depends on changing rpm or throttle?

I all I know is that when I am sitting in my piper warrior adjusting the throttle doesn't adjust the volume like it does in aces high.

I really don't get the new menagement. What do I use to normally in/decrease airspeed? rpm or manifold? I mean, I don't want to adjust my sound everytime I in/decrease the manifold do you?
Like, in real life you needed microphones to be able to hear eachother over the engine noise. I notice nothing about this at all!

Well, I had to sit back and think about it.

Cessna 180J:

When I increase the throttle, volume increases when rpm increases as well as sound tone changes resulting from the prop pitch changes. After rotation, MP is reduced by the throttle thus changing the tone and volume slightly  Volume should remain the same since rpm stays about same. Then the prop speed (rpm) (power) is  reduced using the prop lever (knob) thus changing tone and volume.

I think what is missing in beta is the slight change in tone when increasing/decreasing MP. An abrupt change on the MP will cause the props to over rev allowing for a more dramatic change in "noses". Can anyone explain it better?

IN beta I will depart, adjust for climb power, cruise etc. Apon landing, the "props" "rpm" has a much greater affect on performance than our small airplanes. Applying full power or power off has extreamly little affect on the rpms.

However, The "bug" I did find was on downwind leg for landing. There I made my "before landing check" and later discovered that when I increased rpm (back to full-in), the thottle then will not reduce "power" "rpm" when the throttle is fully closed. Thus causeing me to approach to fast, go around and find the problem.
