liazkam 1 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hello all, I find the twotter engine sound very loud. It ussualy masks other sounds in the sim, and outsides audio, like VATSIM and external wind sounds by addons. If I lower the engine sounds in the sim's sound control panel, when I switch planes, the engine sound can hardly be heard. Are you experiencing the same phenomena? Can I lower only the twotter engine sound? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Did you search the forum to see if others find the same problem as I cannot say I have, you could try putting them in a Audio Editor and turn the sound down in that, but always make a backup first in case you ruin the originals.

Snave 466 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 So, have you ever flown in a Twotter..? "I SAID,HAVE YOU EVER FLOWN A TWOTTER..?" "NO, NOT `EVA BRAUN WAS A ROTTER`; HAVE YOU EVER FLOWN A TWOTTER...?" Fact: They are loud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumprock 9 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Snave is right. It is not only the engines, but the harmonics of the fuselage which which make it the noisiest aircraft I have ever experienced, particularly during take offs and landings. At cruise, dropping the prop RPM quiets things down quite a bit. Of course this is relative, since rather than not being able to communicate at all with the passenger in the seat next to you, becomes you can shout to be heard but normal conversation is totally impossible. If you travel a lot in Twin Otters, mostly Pilgrim Air and Air New England, as I did in the 70's and 80's, you bring ear plugs and a good book.

liazkam 1 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 snave and bumprock, thanks. I realized they are loud, but I underestimated how loud. However, I fly with earphones, that should muffle them a bit. The engine sound is so loud, that I can hardly hear VATSIM ATC, which is not realistic, since the twotter pilots wear earphones too. So, how can make this "earphones" adjustment to the engine volume, so I can hear the ATC volume over the engines roar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snave 466 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 There are sliders in the sim for just that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liazkam 1 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 There are sliders in the sim for just that purpose. You are right, bu they change the general sound settings for all planes. When i load the C152, I need to reconfigure them, and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempelhof 44 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think Shaun already gave you the answer to your problem. You'll have to edit the audio files for the engine sound. Apart from that, I can think of the following solutions: 1) Turn down the volume of your loudspeakers 2) Turn up the volume of your headset 3) Get a noise-canceling headset like real pilots (a more expensive way to achieve the same effect as option 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewolfe 0 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Simple solution: when you first open FSX, go to settings and reduce the engine volume and save this config as "Twotter" and rename your most used setting as something else. When you know you are going to fly the Twotter, use the Twotter config, otherwise use your normal config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandiss 0 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Have a look at Accu Feel from A2A simulations. You can change the settings for individual aircraft from the add-on menu. Brilliant little utility and well worth the money. Dissy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
