Private-Cowboy 3 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi there,has anyone of you tried the new soundset for the Twin Otter? The sample sound is mighty impressive: http://secure.simmarket.com/product_info.p...roducts_id=2931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also doubt it uses the new FSX cones features, because if it would I think it should be a major selling point and would be mentioned on the product pages. To get it perfect you would also have to tweak sounds to get them perfect with the animation, for example flaps extension animation must be equal to the sound sample. That's hard to get if the animation and model don't come from the same developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private-Cowboy 3 Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks for the response. I'm very happy with the Twin Otter sounds as they are (esp. since the latest update), I just wondered if that pack would bring any benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbearsailor 9 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just personal opinion here as I haven't tried and won't try that addon soundset, but. . .I do know what a Twin Otter sounds like, having flown a couple of thousand hours in the real one. Of all the planes I fly in FSX, the TSS soundset that comes with the Aerosoft Twin Otter is the closest to real of any of them, particularly with the tweaks added in the updates after 1.0. I can't imagine how anybody could do a better soundset than the one it already has.cheers,steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of any plane I have flown in the Twin Otter was the only one I could not stand the sound off. Is that me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbearsailor 9 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nah, not to me, Mathijs. About half of all my time is in PT-6 powered stuff, so it's pretty normal to me.Of course, we've always got headsets on, so the sound is more muted. For sure the Otter is extremely noisy in the passenger section, whereas a King Air with the same engine is nice and quiet in the back. Overall, though, I like the deep pitch much more than the higer pitch sound of the Garrett engined turboprops like the C-441 and Turbo Commander--they have the sound I dislike.cheers,steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
