Take off fast spool up sound missing?

Hello,

Just wanted to drop some feedback on the A350 . Overall, it’s an absolutely fantastic aircraft and you’ve clearly put a huge amount of work into it.

One small thing I noticed after the recent sound update: during takeoff, especially if you advance the throttles fairly quickly from idle to FLEX or TOGA, the engine spool-up doesn’t quite have that powerful, rising surge you’d expect. It feels a bit too smooth/flat compared to the real-world “kick” or intensity you normally hear and feel during that phase.

What stood out to me is that before the recent sound update, that stronger spool-up effect was definitely there you could really feel and hear the engines building up power more aggressively. It added a lot to the immersion during takeoff.

That said, I’m not entirely sure whether the current, smoother spool-up is actually more accurate to real life or not just sharing how it feels from a user perspective. I was also wondering if it could be related to how the recordings were captured for example, if they were taken from takeoff rolls with more gradual power application, which might explain the smoother sound profile.

It’s a minor detail in the grand scheme, but bringing back a bit more of that punch or progression to the spool-up sound would really elevate the experience even further.

 

Keep up the amazing work this aircraft is already incredible, and updates like these just keep pushing it higher!

I love this aircraft, warts and all. I do agree that overall the sounds in the latest version 1.2.4 are a backward step on what went before on a number of counts.
