milviz sabre sound let down

Well growing up in an era whe sabres where still used in the south african airforce, I can honestly say looked forward to this. Absolute stunner but missing the "soul" and the soul being the real sabre sound.. In real live it had a much more of a "growl" then the "whine" of the milviz package. Also toooo sterile, the sabre had a lot of "rattles" "noises" going on inside the cockpit when taking off

Hopefully someone will put back the soul into this plane.

Still the rest is an absolute master piece and well worth the wait and the money..!
 
Thanks for your comments. Perhaps you should know that I actually saw and recorded a sabre (hawk one) and that is what we used as the basis for our sound set. Internally, to be honest, I wouldn't really know as I've never been in a sabre during take off. However, I will check this out with the Gatineau guys and see what, if anything, can or even should, be done...

Thanks
 
Just when I thought nothing could be improved about the Milviz F-86 Sabre, Colin says he want to check out the internal sounds to see if anything could be done to make them better. Surely it will not be easy to find someone who has been inside a Sabre during take off but you can rest assured, sound like he is going to do that. Very impressive.

If you are looking for rattles, brake noise, and such, then check out AccuFeel. It's not expensive and once installed, you can customize it for every aircraft, stock and add-on, in FSX.

FYI, accufeel has caused issues with the Sabre in testing. We approached A2A about this both privately and publicly and were rebuffed. Be aware that we are not responsible nor will we support any issues you may have while running the two addons together.
 
I've got some great internal and external sabre sounds in my library...maybe one day I'll do a pack for it.
 
Given that the F-86F 30 is a single pilot aircraft, unless one is a qualified pilot who's actually flown this aircraft, the internal sounds inevitably must be sheer conjecture and/or interpretation of first hand reports from real pilots... Just saying... :cool:
 
Yes indeed. The ones I have are from I library I purchased a while back...not sure what gear was used to record but it's easy enought to put a recorder and mics in it, hit record and let it roll while the pilot does his thing.
 
I look forward to having the update. Adding more realism to an already awesome model (have yet to fly it, still downloading) will be excellent!
Your sound mixing skills are top notch, Vance.

yes my father was a sabre pilot stationed at AFB waterkloof and AFB Pietersburg. So yes it is firsthand knowledge from actual flying pilots as that was what discussed many a time in our house. Apart from that that my father spend countless hours telling me the details of the plane he flown. living next to the runways hearing them day in and day out, I can tell you the sabre just had that deeper engine sound.
 
I live less than an hour away from one of the few flying Sabres. Believe me when I say it sounds just like it does in sim. If you choose not to do so, that is, of course, your prerogative. However, it will still be the real thing...
 
and this is what I grow up with.. a sound forever etched in my mind.

listen to that growl... combined with an ultra high pitch sound from 3:13 with a high between 3:20 to 3:30 where it is beautifully captured.

and here is the cockpit sounds again capturing the sounds beautifully.

Sorry the sabre never at a one whine sound.
One thing that is real is the sounds in this video..!! no matter how close you live to a real sabre.. this is sabre sounds..!!

and I hope to one day experience these sounds with the milviz sabre. Now that will be an absolute winning combination.
and some more external sounds


and some more external sounds

Well you also have to remember that the Sabre has had a lot of engines....are the sounds you are referring to those of the J47-GE-27?
 
Now that's deep. Sitting here in my studio it sounds delish. I find alot of folx grab their sounds off you boob or something and turn em into sound sets but the problem there is that the audio is recorded with a camera...not a real audio recorder. I can't comment on this Sabre as I havent heard it yet but I'm sure it'll be fine. It's all a matter of opinion execpt when folx don't make sample accurate loops at zero crossings and you hear a little click or other obvious errors...then I just make myself a new one.

I don't pump out the packs very often and only do aircraft I like and fly. Haven't done one since the Huey a few months back but am working on two new ones right now so maybe this winter if I fancy I may do one for a Sabre.

Anyways congrats to the Milviz team on the release, she's a sweet looking plane!

you are absolutely correct that a lot of different engines were used and I believe the SA version had Orenda engines, and those I show are the ones I grew up with and know as "sabre" mkV1 sounds used many moons ago in SA..!
 
Airplane sound is an interesting subject, and a bit subjective as well. Love that cockpit video, by the way. That was fantastic. But, how much difference is there between the sound picked up by that microphone, and that heard by the pilot with his helmet on? I'd bet a lot of difference. From his helmet, with the radio on, there might even be some interference picked up caused by the engine itself, which would rise and fall in frequency with the engine RPMs. I've seen F-86s fly at air shows, and there isn't nearly as much base component as was apparently picked up by the microphone in the first U-Toob video, which might also have some “ambient wind” induced base, but I can't say for sure. When it comes to FS sounds, if I don't like one, I just go find one that sounds “pleasant” to me...
