Horrible callout quality, sounds!

[OnAirSim]

Hello,

First of all the 09,80,70 callouts are back, nice!. But. The callouts sound horrible to be honest, even more than they did since the last update. There are now three different voices of callouts, "Retard", "2500-100" and "90-5" sound completely different. Very unprofessional and disappointing... I was really happy when I saw the update but now im really, really upset. They sound like recorded on a toaster miles away. I dont want to disrepect anyone in the team but the sound team really should think about what they have done... 

Regards

Hello,

I’m writing this message out of genuine frustration and disappointment.

I waited a long time for your A350 and had very high expectations. Unfortunately, the cockpit callouts in their current state are a huge letdown and seriously damage the overall immersion.

To be very clear:

• There are three different voices used for altitude callouts

• One voice from 2500 ft down to 100 ft

• A different voice from 90 ft down to just before RETARD

• And yet another completely separate voice only for “RETARD”

This is neither realistic nor consistent. In a real Airbus, altitude callouts come from one coherent, unified callout set—not from multiple obviously mismatched voices. In its current form, every approach feels disjointed and pulls me completely out of the experience.

What makes this especially disappointing is that the A350 is marketed as a high-fidelity aircraft with great attention to detail. Callouts are a core part of cockpit realism, and this implementation feels rushed, unfinished, and far below the standard one would expect from iniBuilds.

I waited a long time for this aircraft update, and right now I honestly regret how much I was looking forward to it. This isn’t a minor nitpick—it’s something that negatively affects every single landing.

At the very least, I would expect:

• consistent, unified callout voices

• more realistic Airbus-style callouts that match the quality level this aircraft is supposed to represent

In its current state, the callouts simply do not meet the quality bar that iniBuilds is known—or should be known—for.

Very disappointed regards,

THE 340 Sounds are Perfect btw.

PLEASE FIX IT !

I agree, it took them months to fix the a350 tonality even after commenting on a post a while back and receiving no response, if i'm going to be completley honest the only way to get a response is on their discord, that is the only way. The forums have to be the absolute worst, no response or a fragmented response.
And with that ^ since they use cockpit videos for reference for whatever when it comes to the flight model, I find it hilarious they got it wrong in the first place. And the staff would say "it's company options" or that is how it is supposed to sound when cockpit videos which inibuilds uses tells you everything you need to know, like what?

And when the tonality was changed to the proper way for both aircraft, hundred above and minimum was not changed, which is for one silly. And the same with retard.

My a340 90-80 callouts still don't work to...

No clue with the ai use by the other guy in expressing frustration you don't need ai for that. One's actual words is far better, but inibuilds is known for quantity rather than quality, and this better damn change with the a380. Which means a better flight model (no levitating off the runway bull, and this flight model mod doesn't work because everything is controlled by WASM 😂. The biggest sore with ini flight models at the moment is how bad they feel on takeoff, the pitch is first off sensitive and the pitch rotation is wrong I can't even do a 10 degrees back pressure cause I will tailstrike, so great job inibuilds "our data is so amazing!!! yet you use cockpit videos and can't pick up on sidestick handling on takeoff. I expect better system simulation as well, you have the capabilities, aside from that hope this gets fixed

Agree! Three different voices with different tones and volume levels. Not as par Airbus. Needs to be fixed asap.

Dear IniBuilds team, Dear @Eddie,

The current callouts have really gotten worse from version to version.

Perhaps it would be a good idea for your sound design team to take another look at the following post:

 

@Hitachi has summarised everything really well and provided you with a great template for the callouts.

 The callout "2500" is more like 2000........500 @A330MRTT

Correct, this thread here is more about the callouts "90 to retard".

@A330MRTT
However, that is not the tonality of the voice of an a350 in contrast to every single cockpit video. (I'd presume OP there as I have said in that post got them from youtube as well)
My assumptions are inibuilds (boris himself has done this in his work to. however corrected it) has taken samples from these youtube videos instead of getting additional references from the real aircraft, but however after telling Steve on discord which I am now banned from that they sound like you are wearing headphones and listening without ambient speaker kind of effect they were wrong.
And then the sound team looked at the reference I attached and applied some noise reduction and put it in. It would be great if they could be recorded from the real aircraft, or atleast the level D simulator (sometimes those sound different to e.g. a320 simulators have a330 and 340 voice which is odd, but software I guess)
