C-97 wip

Here's the video of a R4360 startup sounds I used for the startup sounds. As for the fan slap not included at this time still focusing on radial sounds. This is still an early wip version.

Holy Smokes!!! No pun intended.:adoration:

That corncob really makes a noise. Didn't realize that you were working off a non wing mounted version. When it gets down the road to the final smooth version, I'll bet it will
really be awesome :encouragement:
 
I love this video just because of the announcer and the guy sitting up front having a ball!

The startup sounds so bloody disorganized and disharmonic that one wonders how this pinnacle of piston engine development can run smoothly at all. And then it starts to purr...
 
Hey guys, I got in contact with a PW R-4360 mechanic on KC-97's and explained to me that there are two version. The KC-97 had turbochargers with collector type exhaust. The other version has just stacks and was used on the C-119's and C-124's. So I will be working on a quieter deeper exhaust sounds as he explained to me (JetStar).

Here he (JetStar) is discussing his knowledge of the R-4360's.

Cacophonic, low frequency...like fingernails on a chalkboard. It's not as bad as a large two stroke engine on a motorcycle or one of those typically american 6L V8s with that bloody awful low-key "blob-blob-blob-blob", but still enough to make me cringe. And believe it or not, I get these arsehats quite often here in my part of the city. A kingdom for a sniper rifle and a 100% hit rate on motor blocks!

To each his own, I suppose. Shall we agree to disagree on what sounds nice?
 
Update video

My second attempt at engine creation is a monster. So much more to do than the first one I did that's #4 on the "What's hot list"! Thanks everyone for making that a dream! :adoration:

Still a lot of tweaking to do on this one.

There's a lot of pickups that sound like that around my area. No bumpty bump cam makes them sound like that. Then they put pipes on that and makes it worse. :adoration: No thunder becomes mumblers! :biggrin-new:
 
TuFun, great work on such a great Cold War icon. The sounds you captured sound like many of the radial startups I've heard over the years at airshows and tarmacs. I think Bjoern's just having a bad day for him not to appreciate what you captured in the sound likeness. Are those type engines loud and cacophonic, absolutely. I think you nailed it on the head.

How will you incorporate the jet engines with this model? were you able to overcome the FSX limitations of 2 different engine types on one airframe?

Good question! I always wondered how to model the engine setup on the C-123K Provider correctly - same problem. How were the jets on the C-97 operated - unthrottled, like in the Provider, just on / off?

I love the brutish sound of of the big radials, and large cui V8s or Harley engines. And I admire your work and dedication to bring those lovely sounds into the sim as well as possible, Tufun. Cheers to you!

Hi Tufun,

The sounds are awesome! :jawdrop: (understatement) Makes me wish to put the volume extra high. My poor neighbours.

Cheers,
Maarten

Hi Mark, that is the question of the day. There are no KC-97 video examples of how that sound either. Hopefully Manfred has some ideas on this on the programing end.
