Thanks.

My eventual plan is to be able to record these engines myself, simultaneously inside and outside the cockpit, rather than search for freeware sounds to remix for AHII. Granted, the equipment won't be cheap (wide diaphragm vacuum tube condenser microphones fed to a vacuum tube power amplifier which itself feeds to a laptop mixing station), but the results would be phenomenal. Of course, using such hardware, every recording would be referenced at 32-bit, 192khz stereo, kept in a secure archive from which down sampled, remixed copies could be made.

Once everything is mixed and packaged, I think it would be entirely acceptable to make the sounds free for everyone. Think of it as a kind of museum format, where anyone can experience what it sounded like for the pilots who flew during the war on all sides.
Oh yea, gotta love vacuum tubes. MOSFETs got nothing on them  :airplane:
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.

Vacuum tube audio is kind of my thing. I have a "sandbox" amp I test different circuit configurations with. Within the parameters of 15 watts per channel, at least.

Hey Fruda for some reason the page you have posted here says that it does not exist after I click. Did you, by any chance, change the page the sounds are located at?

Are you clicking the link on Page 1 or the newest links 6 posts back?

Try these.
All packs have been revised, and the P&W R-1830 / Wright R-1820 Pack is complete. I strongly recommend that everyone download the new versions.

Allison V-1710 Pack
BMW 801 Pack
Daimler-Benz DB600 Series Pack
P&W R-1830 & Wright R-1820 Pack
Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Pack
Rolls Royce Merlin Pack
Rolls Royce Griffon Pack

And the new/updated ones.

New/updated sounds released!

Daimler-Benz DB600 Series Pack
Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Pack
Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Pack
Wright R-1820 Pack

Higher fidelity engine sounds have been added to the DB600 and R-2800 packs. The Wright R-1820 Pack is now a standalone from the R-1830, with different engine sounds.




These links still work for me.

Sorry Fruda but your DOWNLOADS are not working for me. I get a blank page when I click on them.

You probably have a popup blocker or something similar enabled.

My downloads work just fine.

The BMW 801 and Pratt & Whitney R-2800 packs have been updated.

Fixes: The Eng files for each pack had loop artifacts that made it apparent when the sounds were looping. This has been fixed, and now the sounds are much smoother.

Allison V-1710 Pack
BMW 801 Pack
Daimler-Benz DB600 Series Pack
Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Pack
Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Pack
Rolls Royce Griffon Pack
Rolls Royce Merlin Pack
Wright R-1820 Pack
Effects Pack

I have to say that it's amazing how much more definition my speakers have than the headphones I've been using for mixing. A lot of these artifacts aren't apparent when using said headphones, but as soon as I use my speakers, there they are. As of this update, all loop artifacts appear to be fixed. As far as my Effects pack is concerned, I realise that the flap and gear sounds don't play properly on some aircraft. To remedy this, I am currently looking for source material for aircraft-specific flap and gear sounds.

Edit: While attempting to delete obsolete packs, Zippyshare's strange interface caused me to delete everything. Eeeaaaagh. All packs have been uploaded again.

I don't know what it is, but maybe working so much on these sounds has diminished my ability to hear loop artifacts when I'm working. When I take a break and come back, I hear more. Anyway, with that being said, another update.

BMW 801 Pack
Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Pack

I understand that there have been quite a few updates, but that's just my commitment to quality.

Lab Rat,

It's a .rar file. You need Winrar or 7-Zip to open those.
