• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

M-18 sounds

Actually, the Pratt & Whitney 1830's found in the default DC-3 are pretty darned close (piglets M-18 alias's to these sounds).

Ive been using a sound set available at avsim which seems to capture the loping "at idle" sounds of the M-18 a little better...at least to my ears.

Here's a youtube vid of the Dromader M-18 that you can hear startup, idle, etc.

I highly recommend to try [FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Jakub Winiarski's An-2 soundset. It's designed for An-2 obviously, but it can go with any plane which uses a Shvetsov ASh-62 engine, which the M-18 does.[/FONT] It captures the distinctive whine of the starter.

Look for an-2_sound.zip and the patch [FONT=verdana, sans-serif]an-2_fixed-sound.zip at Avsim.
