Just Flight DC6B

I took Gray Eagles tip about the suggested sound file. After figuring out what I had done incorrectly (changing name of sound folder) the Pratt & Whitney sounds are incredible! Thanks! NC

Glad you got it sorted and like it.

I see request for a DC6 R-2800's and Skyraider R-3350 on Adam Murhpy's web site. He's the guy who can do some awesome soundsets.

Checking out his file structure, he uses the prop call on almost all sounds. I don't use prop calls at all. Will have to explore that sometime.

I checked out his offerings for the R-2800 and what he has sounds better suited for the convairs.
Is is pretty good. I don't believe he utilizes that cone effect.
He states that a four bladed sound (R-2800) will be avail soon.

Adam Murphy's R-2800 soundset

I tried Adam's R-2800 soundset and it does have one thing going for it. The cone effect.
The actual sounds on a ground run up are not as spectacular as Jon Jeffrey's IMHO.

And even though a request for a DC-6 sound was made, I get the feeling it was a
Fait accompli when he released his R-2800 sound set suitable for Convairs and DC-6.
So I don't think it gets any better then what he has already put together. If you look at
his sound.cfg number of engines = 2 and change it to 4 it doesn't seem to make it any better.

It is a good Convair sound and very well suited for it.

Hey Jan does Skysong use sound cones? With sound cones you create some really discrete sound angles like the loud prop buzz as it passes by.

Nope, no sound cones in the Skysong DC-6 soundset, Ted. Atleast not that i can hear... In my ears it still is the best set for a DC-6 but certainly not perfect. ( that means not anything like your magnificent set for the DC-3.... ) It's mainly the volume at the transition from start-up to idle and from idle to more rpm. The start-up wav itself is great.

@ Grey Eagle: yes i tried the v2 version too but v1 didn't produce what i am looking for in the first place. Internal there's no 'body' when you wall the throttles, sounds a bit like a squadron of prop fighters up in the air rather than sitting in between 4 P&W's. I do have my sub woofer turned up pretty much. My thee cup is suppose to start trembling on its saucer when i open up the throttles, that's what happens with the Skysong soundset.

Nice external sound for the Convair, pity there's no good native FSX model for it. Certainly waiting for a dev to oblige. Sorely missing in FSX. Atleast we have a fairly good DC-6 now ( it's the best of the JF propliners if you ask me) but i can't wait for PMDG to finally get take-off clearance for their rendition.

Adam does offer a Native (FSX) soundset; here is the header for it:
//Pratt & Whitney R2800 18-cylinder air-cooled radial engine with 3 bladed propeller (for Canadiar CL-215, Douglas DC-6, Convair CV-240/340/440, Curtiss C-46). FSX version with 3D sound cones.

A four blade version is WIP.


This can be like Goldilocks with the porridge too hot or too cold; some one will make/find one that is just right.

Repaint?

[STRIKE]I know this is an incredibly old thread but I was just wondering if anyone has heard of there being an Everts Air Cargo repaint anywhere on the planet for this model?

Sorry, never mind, I found it!
