Are you sick of the stock "Zero" sounds?

The counterpart of the Rolls-Royce Merlin, the Daimler-Benz DB-600 series of inline engines, powered many German aircraft of the war, especially the Messerschmitt Bf-109 series of fighters and the Bf-110.

The DB-601 was the first mass-produced engine sub-type to see widespread wartime service. This engine powered the 'Emil' and 'Fredrich' versions of the Bf-109, as well as the 'C,' 'D,' and 'E' versions of the Messerschmitt Bf-110 'Zerstorer.' This engine was also used in the Dornier Do-215, and the failed Messerschmitt Me-210 that would involve into the successful Me-410 design later in the war.

In derivative form, this engine also powered the best mass-produced Italian fighter of the war, the Macchi Mc-202 'Folgore.' The Reggiane Re-2001 'Falco II' was also powered by this design. It was also the basis for the license-built engine by Kawasaki, the Ha-40. This engine, though certainly not without its problems, powered the only mass-produced Japanese fighter of the war, the Kawasaki Ki-61 'Hein.' In addition, the Aichi Atsuta engine which powered inline versions of the Yokosuka D4Y 'Judy' were also based on the Daimler-Benz DB-601.

DB-601, version I: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5398

DB-601, version II: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=12011

Ha-40, version I: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=4498

Ha-40, version II: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=8714

(Again, for the DB-601N, I use his first version for the 'Emil,' the second version for the 'Fredrich' and the 'Folgore.')

The DB-603 was a more-powerful derivative of the DB-601 design. These engines powered the Dornier Do-217, the He-219, the Dornier Do-225, and the 'C' variant of the Focke-Wulf Ta-152.

Single-engined version: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5609

Twin version for the Do-335: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=14289

The Daimler-Benz DB-605 was the last significant mass-produced version of the Daimler-Benz engine, powering all 'G' and later variants of the Messerschmitt Bf-109, as well as the 'G' variant of the Bf-110. This engine would also power the Me-410.

Outside of Germany, this engine also powered the excellent 'Series III' aircraft produced by Italy: The Fiat G-55 Centauro, the Macchi Mc-205 Veltro, and the Reggiane Re-2005 Sagittario.

Single-engined version: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5700

Twin-engined version: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=12005

Lastly, the Daimler-Benz DB-606 was essentially two DB-605 examples in a coupled configuration. This engine powered the Heinkel He-177, but proved exceedingly problematic with near-constant overheating, frequently resulting in engine fires, or problems with the machinery driving the propellers.

You can find this sound pack here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=6050
 
Rohan and others,

I don't profess to know everything. If any of you know the location of other sound packs, feel free to shout it out!

Well, that's all I have.
 
Rami,
I'd also like to say thank you muchly for putting together this version 2 of the thread. I have a copy of the original, but there is so much more in this one. I'm also taking the contents of both threads, as well as the details from all the sound files I've downloaded over the years, and starting to build a database of aircraft - engine types plus links to my files. Put that with Jaxon's and Obio's single folder for all sound files, and a multi-install of CFS2, and my new i7 PC should be a CFS2 rocker - when it arrives next month,
thanks again,
Ro
:icon29:
 
You're welcome. I decided that it would only be fair to include the Pacific this time. :engel016:

I also 'tagged' the thread for easier archiving, in case someone wants to use it someday or research it for another member.
 
Other users of the engines listed earlier in this thread include -

Polikarpov I-15 (later models) -- Wright Cyclone R-1820 (as Shvetsov M-25 or ASh-25)
Polikarpov I-16 (later models) -- Wright Cyclone R-1820 (as Shvetsov M-25 or ASh-25)
Gotha Go-244 -- Gnome-Rhône 14M
Heinkel He-70K -- Gnome-Rhône 14K (licensed & manufactured in Hungary)
Koolhoven F.K.58 -- Gnome-Rhône 14N
or
Heinkel He-100D -- Daimler-Benz DB-601M
Blohm & Voss BV.238 -- Daimler-Benz DB-603 (can you imagine what 6 of these must have sounded like ?)
Yokosuka D4Y3 Suisei (radial engined versions) -- Mitsubishi Kinsei 62
Hopefully more to come later,
regards,
Ro
:monkies:
 
That's correct. Later models of the I-16 were indeed powered by a Wright Cyclone derivative. (Doh!)

I didn't include the He-100 because it wasn't mass-produced, nor did I include aircraft like the Fw-187 or the Arado Ar-240. However, those do deserve mention.
Keep 'em coming! :ernae:
 
Rami,

My taste in aircraft tends to the more esoteric or unusual, things like the Me-323 Gigant and the BV-141. I included the He-100 because of the recent thread by Cees, Jamie and Tim which showcased the excellent model by Gerald Lindell, plus you had already listed the engine here. It takes a little more time to research a new engine not in the mainstream, and identify the aircraft which used it and suitable sound files, but hopefully I can do a few more s**n. Like you, I plan to stick to sound packs only, rather than to list aircraft packs which include sounds (well mostly anyway - lol). I'll also be sticking to military aircraft from WWII, and maybe a lttle before and after (mostly). However, I'm still not sure how we stand running FS9 sound files in CFS2 ..

regs,

Ro

:guinness:
 
FS9 sound packs will work in CFS2 just fine, as will FS2002 packs. CFS3 sound packs need work to make them work in CFS2.

FS98 and FS2000 sound packs will work in CFS2 as well, but many of them do not include starter, start up or shut down sounds.

Rolls Royce Kestrel

Another widely used engine was the Rolls Royce Kestrel, especially if you count later engines which were developed from it. One of it's chief proponents was the Hawker company in England, and therein lies a source for sound files, as I've not found any separate sound packs for this engine. The following are all models produced by Edward (Ted) Cook, and can be found at flightsim. Note that there are some small differences between the sound files in some of these, so you have plenty of choice -

http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=106279 Audax
http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=108854 Demon
http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=108813 Fury
http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=106291 Hart
http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=106292 Hind
http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=117310 Nimrod
http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=106293 Osprey

Buddha13 did a conversion of Ted's Hawker Osprey for CFS2 but it doesn't look as if that includes the sound files, so it's better to plan to go back to the originals such as those listed above,
hope that helps,
Regards,
Ro

Thanks, Rohan. I love the fact that this thread is being continually added to. You guys have the right idea! :ernae:

To all,

There was a post about Devastator sounds, so I thought I'd resurrect this old thread.

IT'S ALIVE!!! :a1089:
 
Man, I have been soooo busy over the past couple of weeks updating/changing engine sounds. :) Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Great thread, Rami! Excellent information and links. Thanks very much, bud!

Click to expand...

Yes I was. However, years ago, I purchased a couple of packs from an outfit named AeroSim. They had such great engine sounds for the Zero and other Japanese plane models that I still alias to them today. Don't know how realistic they are but they sound baaadd!

Unusual sounds...Rolls-Royce Vulture?

Hey guys,

I'm beta-testing a new multi-lod Avro Manchester for Shessi, and I was just wondering if Nigel Richards, OBIO, or anyone else has covered this one.

Any info would be appreciated,
