Luthier - please consider using Jafa's sound mods
 

they're brilliant!

I second that. It has been said before that the current sound is only a placeholder and listening to Jafa sounds, users as well as devs can only benefit from it. Devs don't have to create sounds themselves anymore and users get the best sound ever in their sim.


~S~

+100

People, start to think!!!!
No company can afford to use something which isn't 100% free of foreign ownership!
I am pretty shure that Jafa can't and won't guarantee that the rights of his sounds aren't ownned by someone else!
We all remember the Grumman - thing, aren't we?

What we need is a way for Luthier to allow certain MODS to used without worrying about getting banned online. A allowed mods list would be good.

As soon as the SDK is out and mods enabled you can use as sound what you want. Even to make your Merlin sound like a Lawn-mower if you like. I don't see the need of the dev team to implement what somebody modded and which likely does not fit to the sound engine as implemented in the program.

I for my part rather like the sounds from the cockpit and they are not that bad except that there's no wind sounds. In reality a Merlin when one sits in the cockpit did not sound like what you hear on videos.

The outside sounds are definitely placeholders and will be replaced by sounds that will fit to the sound engine for default. You will be able to change this as soon as mods are allowed.

Waiting for some official "revork", if we'll never have it, actually the modding solution is the best one.

It's a shame that a modder, in a few weeks, is able to do better than the official team in six years, but it's ok for us.

However nice sounds. Well done.

Why should we think there will ever be an SDK? My guess is that they haven't even started working on one and they have so many other things to fix first that I can't see it being a priority.

Not as easy as that mate

Why not? Jafa may have created the sounds himself. We should ask the dude.

And for the record - the current sounds suck. who ever heard of a merlin sounding like a two stroke lawnmower?
