Are you sick of the stock "Zero" sounds?

Honestly I thought Lawdog had it but I was mistaken. I checked a couple of Ed Cook's Vulture powered aircraft (Manchester and Blackburn B20) and while they both have sound files that don't alias to something else I get the impression that the Manchester's 1.58MB sound file was some sort of Merlin sound and the Blackburn's 8.98MB sound file might go to a Centaurus engine.

Looking at what all Lawdog's done I'd say the closest would be his DB 606 sounds. (I know, not the same)

I would imagine the Vulture sounding very similar to the Peregrine but....like more Peregrines with maybe more of a basso roar. I know Lawdog has the Peregrine; maybe someone with some sound talent could give it a whack (OBIO, Nigel? hint hint wink wink nudge nudge)
 
Nigel's having a break from FS Guys, just thought i'd let you know seeing as his name was mentioned, he's a bit burnt out... should be headed out his way myself in April/May for drinks with the old git and dinner with his Daughter... :ernae:

if he doesn't pop in before then i'll drop him a message, or speak to him while i'm out there :salute:

Matt,

Thanks for the info. Here's an interesting tidbit from 1150 that may help: "I've been reading comments about the Rolls Royce Vulture (Sounds) and I remember reading somewhere that they sounded like someone hitting two iron rubbish bins with two big sticks at the same time. I think it was a member of 106 Squadron published just after the war in "Flight" magazine.

The only engine that comes close to it in noise was apparently the Napier Sabre !!!" :salute:

Maybe someone will be brave enough to attempt a mod...is SOLOBO still around?

Matt, when you talk to, chat with or see Nigel, please send him my best wishes. I'm sure I'm not the only one missing him here, but health is paramount.

Cheers,

Good morning,

I like the idea of a modified Rolls-Royce Peregrine soundpack, because when Lawdog2360 created the Peregrine soundpack, he set it up so it was "mis-tuned" and running a bit off-balance. The same idea would work well for the Vulture.

rest assured while i'm out there i'll buy the "grumpy old git" a round :salute: :ernae:
 
Sound for TBD?

Just wondering if anyone has a sound file for the TBD or once that is a suitable replacement? I see it uses the F4F and does not fit really.I tried the SBD sound file but did not seem to fit either.Perhaps I am wrong.Any suggestions?
 
The Wildcat and the Devastator use the same engine so the Wildcat sounds would work best for what you would likey have on hand.
