Ford Tri-Motor sound pack tweak

I am probably not the only person who thinks that the stock Ford Tri-Motor sound package is on the anemic side of audio health. The interior sounds are barely audible and the external sounds aren't much more punchy.

Well....being the audio freak that I am, I took the stock Tri-Motor package and gave it a nice dose of steroids to really pump it up...still have a few files to tweak...but the internal and external starter, start up, and RPM sound files are now pictures of audio vitality. I amplified them, gave them a bit more bass...sounds good...even on my crappy speakers.

I have also tweaked the sound config file to produce single and twin engine set ups. Now, all those planes that used the Pratt and Whitney R-1340 9-cylinder radial engine can have a robust and enjoyable sound.

There might be a problem with me uploading these files though...since they are MS files that I tweaked. I know a lot of other MS files have been tweaked, revamped, altered and uploaded...so does anyone see a problem with me uploading this revised sound package for the Tri-Motor/PW R-1340?

Ooopssss! Somehow I got things buggered up pretty well and uploaded the package before I dropped in all the nice new interior sounds. Will upload a fix package containing the enhanced interior sounds.

When the moods strikes maybe you could beef up the sound of the big radials like the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp too. I've tried several sets and found they typically sound great at either end of the range but not the whole enchelada. My dad lost some of his hearing in a Marauder and I would love to have to cover my ears when I power up a pair of those babies. Just planting a seed.
I 'm going to try your newest on a Ju-52, should be a great match!
