Oleg, don't forget the sound sampling for tomorrow

[Viking]

Yes the DB is certainly nice sounding.

I did my sevice on MTB:s with three Isotta Frachinis W18 airplane engines that had similar compressor construction as the DB:s, one on each side at 90 deg from the main-shaft, and they had the same whining sound when running idle. At full throttle you couldn't hear yourself think.
The Merlin have, iirc, the compressor mounted in line with the main-shaft at the aft end of the engine and this is probably the reason to why they sound so differently.

As for the useless RR Merlin vs. Daimler Benz debate - I prefer them both. It just depends what I will be flying. Saying how one is a no match for other etc. is childish IMO.


Back to the topic - fingers crossed that Oleg shows us some audio&video materials. But as Luke says, he doesn't need to be reminded.

It's all about karma it seems! We got a video with some sound!

I kind of like the dampened sound actually. Although I would have imagined the cockpit to be a bit noisier.

So much for nay-sayers! Mojo, karma, lucky chicken bone, coincidence, whatever; Oleg came through, and we all love it. No he doesn't need to be reminded (as someone here pronounced), but I always say "if ya don't ask, they can't tell ya NO!"
BTW, I liked the video and the sound. The sim is going to be a blast to play, and I can hardly wait!!

Most people have this cool feature on their speaker systems where if they turn the knob the noise coming from said speaker system becomes louder.
