binky9 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 After flying the Discus a few more times, I think the sound of the landing gear running along the ground needs some work. I don't hear the kind of sounds I am used to in the R/L gliders I have flown: Libelle, L-23, L-33, Grob 103, Phoebus B. One thing that is missing is the bump sound, as you take off or land on a grass runway. Also, the sound of the brakes taking hold and slowing you down. Also, is it possible to make the wings level just before take-off? As if there is a wing runner there. binky9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S 75 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi binky9, Yes; there has been prior discussion on the landing sounds - I'll let Joachim respond directly to that. As for wing leveling - were you aware that the wings get leveled whenever you use WinchX! for cable-assisted takeoffs? Otherwise, I don't think it's possible to level the wings for unassisted takeoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Schweigler 203 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sounds will be better in a future update (we need to get the groundsounds in, wich was impossible till no, and nobody knows, why) The winglevel. I don't wanna say it is impossible, but at the moment not planed. But a nice idea though. I've written it down, maybe I'll get someone to do it.

WinchX! should start automatically when you start FSX; the easiest way to do a powered launch is 3 easy steps: 1. Select one of the Discus models 2. Select your favorite scenery ( I like Sion, Switzerland) 3. When you appear on the runway, simply press Shift Y and watch the fun begin! (the wings will level automatically during this procedure) Let us know how you like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
