Lionhearts pipers

Yep, I just checked again, all of my Pipers are indeed aliased to the Maule.

Hi guys I have been using the tss sound pack for the Lycoming 0-320 160hp which replicates the real life pacer sound
Having owned the full size pacer it sounds much better
you could use the TSS 0-360 180hp sound set if you want more grunt

I was happy enough with the Maule sounds but I have found that the Flight Replicas Super Cub sounds are a nice alternative, if you're lucky enough to own that model - same engine, I think. The FR Super Cub uses a 'mix of custom and default C-172 sounds, with modified .cfg entries..'

You can use fs2002/2004 sounds perfectly well. I think my LH pacer uses the Dreamfleet Cardinal sounds. Anything but the default 6cyl Maule sound. The old Bill Lyons Tripacer can be used as well, but not for the float version. its a very different sound package sounding like an old beaten 135hp engine. Whatever suits your ears. Sounds are very important for me.

Whenever I read that the Lionheart Pacer uses the FSX default Maule's sound file, I scratch my head. I've never altered any of my sound files, and my LH Pacer sounds completely different from my FSX Maule.

Maybe, just maybe, FSX actually reads the aircraft.cfg and realizes that the Maule has 6 cylinders and the Pacer only has 4 and that the Maule has a constant speed prop and the Pacer has a fixed pitch.

These factors might affect how FSX treats the sound.

cheers,

So JimH, what do you have in your sound folder?

My pacer sounded EXACTLY like the Maule untill I changed it.

My point is that I have no idea what's in my sound folders - I haven't modified them, and I've never even looked at them. I just flew both the Maule and the LH Piper. The Maule has a very distinct, strong deep bass sound at lower RPMs, kind of a bellowing. The Piper has no where near as much bass. They sound quite different. And I have two separate FSX disks (purchased new, not bootlegged) downloaded into two separate computer systems, and the Maule sounds the same
on both systems.

Bill Ortis at Lionheart Creations has himself listed the Maule as the basis for his Pacer sounds, so I'm not disputing that. I just wonder why mine sounds so different.
