There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Awesome, Baz! I've flown in a DC-3 (actually the sole C-41) and that sounds right to me. I've seen the one based at Paine Field much more recently, and the audio's legit right on!
Also, it passes the "sounds different when you open the window" test, so that means the "experts" on the official forum will approve.

Stunning sounds...
These sounds were custom recorded from a real DC-3, inside and out. In my opinion, I believe they've done a great job.
Indeed.
& am I correct in suggesting that quite a bit of a DC-3 soundscape comes from the prop tips?

Do you really have to be an "expert" to know that sounds get louder when you open windows though?

I'm being sarcastic. There are a bunch of vocal users who immediately denounce the audio on any MSFS plane if they open the canopy/cockpit door and the sound doesn't change, no matter how good the audio is otherwise.
It's their test for if it uses WWise and lets them feel like experts.
Don't even get me started on that crowd, or we'll have to go into the Texture Mafia discussion too.

Don't worry about the startup Jan. The entire suite was recorded on a real aeroplane from the moment the hydraulic hand pump goes up on its first stroke to engine shutdown. It's as real as it gets.
I had my first flight as a 12 year old on a Cambrian Airways DC-3. It's something I will never forget.

Holy hell Baz - that's some good stuff! I'm running a 39" TV for a monitor, including its speakers, so that sounded dang good on my end!
I'm sure it is !
Tell me about it, Bazz. One small anecdote if i may (i have quite a few more when it comes to the DC-3) : i was in a band in the 70's and we did a Dutch Antilles and Surinam tour. In a DC-3 ! Yessir, and the good thing on top of that was that the copilot was just not around a few times. While the old Lady scared the hell out of most other members of the band, yours truly was offered to take on the job of the missing copilot. Well, just lowering and raising flaps and gear on his command, but still.. Saying that this was the time of my life is an understatement, naturally.
