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.

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.
