RA callouts are incorrect for the Airbus A340 unique voice.

[limbo]

Hello, I was wondering whether inibuilds is aware on the current pre-release version that the RA callouts are incorrect as the ra callouts on the 330 and 340 is different to the a320's and the modern 350 and 380 and is unique for both aircraft, very similar 🙂

The a340 uses a mix of ra callouts, one from the default a330 of fs2024 (it also gets this incorrect for the 2500-100 and is not in the 330/340 tone which I hope gets corrected as well) then it uses a350 90-60 callouts for those. The ini a350 already has the incorrect 50-retard callouts (no clue if this is changed in the latest update as I am unable to check) and the 90-60, however on the a340 it seems to be a sample that should be redirected and put into the a350 (90-60) of the one's currently present that is already on another post by @Hitachi which has no margin and sounds like AI.

if it helps, there's an a340 landing here configure with EIS1 I believe (the audio quality for the ra callouts is actually really good) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/e3ufjCi_aw4
The a340-600 albeit newer also uses the same callouts (so does the a330 neo's) atleast from what I can tell: https://youtu.be/GzHoGLxgbW4?si=Zd0vPqfX1-dR5cUe&t=7038 this iberia one is configured with the 70 and 60 callout.
Thank you inibuilds and I hope changes are made before release, sorry to keep on complaining about ra callouts i've done that like 10 million times on the forums. I can be very nitpicky 🥀🥀

You can choose which callouts you want in EFB, like our other aircraft.

Regarding the voice tonality, we've gotten sounds from real aircraft and the plane has been tested by multiple type-rated pilots. You'd be surprised how many differences there can be even across the same type based on airline options, equipment replacements and upgrades, etc.

Sorry Steven but I feel like all samples aren't even from the real aircraft especially the 90-60 callouts that were shown in the video covering it fully (it also doesn't sound like it is coming from a loudspeaker at all which I would prefer this is done to the rest of the callouts), especially since it sounds like the a350 and a380 (the voice) which is way more modern than an old a340-300. On the 3rd link I attached it sounds way different, so either the developers haven't taken notice to it and the sound guys have just found what they can use, but my ears tell me it's entirely wrong.

I do understand differences on company options though, most don't choose to add them ^, however not so sure when it comes to say replacing a loudspeaker or the flight warning computer that can magically change how the tone sounds. Other aircraft like the 320 on the neo has updates to the FWC software but doesn't at all change what the RA callout sound like.


I do hope this can be taken into consideration (even if we are just arm chair pilots and never been in the real thing) and if it isn't that'll be disappointing because to me, it is a unique quirk of the a330 and 40. 

I am really excited for this aircraft to it seems you guys have actually learnt from the 350 and from the previews performance is great. Won't be buying marketplace though
