Hi

After updating to ver 1.20 I noticed that the sound was changed on the brakesound.

It is heard even more than in ver. 1.10 with the other soundfiles.

I don't know if this brakesound is part of the new TSS sound files, but i don't think the brakesounds can be heard in the cockpit?

Or? Perhaps some Airbus guys can help here?

It is as if the brake sound clicks and clicks when you activate the brake.

Someone who has the same "issue" ?

Cheers and happy weekend

Agreed, the new brake sound is awful. I wish I could get back the old ground roll and brake sounds!

Hate to sound ungrateful...and many thanks for this update!

But the new Brake sound is very poor...love to be able to use the old one far better...not sure if we can mix the files..

All the best Merry Xmas to all at AS

As i remember on a ride in full flight simulator, can't ever remember this sound...

Agreed entirely, the new brake sound is awful and I want the old ground noises back please.

I actually reinstalled version 1, saved that brake sound and replaced the new version so it is much better now!

Maybe you could upload the sound here for us others? So we also can replace it?

If that is OK with Aerosoft?

Yes that's okay.

I think the problem with the brake sound is that is all or nothing, which is too harsh at low speeds. I think someone else mentioned it on another post, the sound is the same if braking from 130kts on the runway as when braking at 1kt on a taxi-way. I guess it's tough and time consuming (not to mention the file sizes involved) to produce a set of sounds that reproduce the effect of different braking situations.

Are Aerosoft examining any alternative?

Thanks

But should not the brake sound be "rumble" than "eek", or what you can call it?

I'm not sure what you mean? If you are saying that the brake sounds more like a squeak than a rumble, yes, I tend to agree. But that's just my own opinion and I know that others like it.

Just for all of you to know: you do not hear brake sounds in the real aircraft.

There are brake sounds in the sim as an audio feedback that you are braking.

Thanks Frank, no brake sound from cockpit. To confirm No PTU sound from cockpit, I'm guessing that the APU sound is not noticed in the cockpit either? Any more sounds that we do not hear in the cockpit that are modeled but are not really there? I am contemplating removing some sounds.

Correct, no PTU sound in the cockpit. The APU can be heard with Door 1L or Door 1R open, even when there is a jetty or catering truck at the door. The sound is not overwhelming but can be heard.

Thanks Frank. A few bugs with 1.20 but I can say overall a great plane and Aerosoft works very hard on fixing up the hiccups very quickly.

Oh yes!

That will be great if the replacement brakesound could be uploaded so we can replace it

By the way, you can use the CoughDrops fix to mute the brake sound. That's what I did, so no more funny brake sound.

To do that:

1. Find the brake sound file at : C:\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A318_A319 Base\Sound_ASC\ASC_Brakes.wav

2. Rename the ASC_Brakes.wav to ASC_Brakes.old

3. Download CoughDrops file from Aerosoft web Updates folder and rename it (ASC_FD_Cough.wav) to ASC_Brakes.wav

4. Copy ASC_Brakes.wav back to your sim folder C:\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A318_A319 Base\Sound_ASC

5. Test it !

PS: Your FSX folder could be diiferent than C:\FSX..... so put your own path and name

Happy flying !

Mike

Thanks Mike that worked.

I listen to mine through an amp and big speakers which sounds great but the new brake sound was like a long beep! Much better now.

Great solution

Hi Mike

"Download CoughDrops file from Aerosoft web Updates folder"

Where is the aerosoft web updates folder?

Thanks,

David,

I'm not Mike however it's here . http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/666-updates-news-and-hotfixes/

I am glad to help !

You could also use the file MUTE.WAV instead of downloading the ASC_FD_Cough.wav

The file MUTE.WAV is already located in your Aerosoft folder. example :F:\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A318_A319 Base\Sound_IAE or Sound_CFM folder

Also see the two sticky's in this section if you want to change the sound.
