Engine Sounds on Takeoff: Abrupt Change in Pitch at 50%


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello. Thank you for all your hard work this amazing aircraft. It is an amazing product.

I have a problem/critique with the current state of the engine sounds during takeoff. When advancing the thrust from from 25% to FLEX or TOGA, the engine sound seems to jump and does not represent the linear increase in engine power. This jump occurs at approximately 50% power and is a noticeable change in pitch rather than a linear change as the engine accelerates. Also, although the underlying whine of the engine at takeoff thrust appears to change depending on the FLEX setting used, the roar of the engine seems identical, while it should also vary in intensity depending on engine power. As a last comment, it would be nice to see the engine sounds fade/get partially drowned out by wind noise as the aircraft accelerates. 

I understand that there is a sound update in the works and was just wondering if these critiques will be addressed in the update. In its current state, the engine sounds at takeoff feel like they don't represent what the engine is doing. I know that sounds can be subjective and that different sim users want different things out of the engine sounds - as such, I am basing these critiques on videos taken from the cockpit and the exterior of the aircraft and my own comparison to the in-game sounds. 

Thank you for taking the time to bring your attention to this.
