Engines sound

[Swisspilot1986]

I put the master cursor and the engine one to the max setting. However, engines are too quiet outside and inside. What really disappointing is the engines sound from cockpit and business galley (so every places in the front of the engines). We barely hear the typical roaring sound of the CFM even with a full sound up. Fenix does it very well sorry. In addition, I was seating in biz galley as a cabin crew for 3 years in this machine. I know it.

well the engines in the A340 are a little further away from the front of the aircraft

First, congratiulations for a really good aircraft. I've just flown from FRA to BOS without a showstopper like a CTD or similar. Flew very nicely and smooth on FPS.

But my far the biggest (and so far my only) thing I'm really disappointed of, are the sounds:

1) Engine sounds: As mentioned above, it just doesn't sound like an A340 from the inside. It's not about volume. I know you don't hear the engines too loud from the cockpit. But it's about the typical high pitch whine that is completely missing, and the typical roaring sound of the A340, that just sounds different. The idle sounds are fit in a little better, but still sounds quite strange when spooling up. In this matter, I find even the sounds of the free A330 matched a lot better.

2) Touchdown sound: Your A330 has been the first aircraft ever, where you could really feel the famous "double" touchdown of the main wheels of the A330/340 series: First, a light rattle when the aft main wheels touch down, and then a firm bump sound and a more intensive rattle when the front wheels of the main gear touch. I loved that so much in the A330, as it added so much immersion. Could you pleeeeease add this feature for the A340, too, especially as the knowledge of how to do that, seems to be there. That would add so much immersion while landing. Because at the moment, there is just one single "Boom" when landing the A340. Thanks.

In Settings, Audio Settings, drag the Environment slider to zero.  This improves the internal and external sounds.  However, I suspect this eliminates gear touch down sounds as a side effect.  More testing required.

Hey guys,

Environmental mixing has been adjusted (reduced in intensity) and touchdown sounds bumped for the next build. 🙂 That double touchdown will be far more prominent.

Dragging the Environment slider to zero actually helps to be close-up of the reality but there is still a lot of tweaks to be conducted:
