Jafa's Merlin sound vs Devs.

These sounds are not magic to obtain - there are open market samples everywhere. There are copyright samples everywhere. You can get the recordings yourself by contracting out. So many ways but it takes some cash, some dedication and some market savvy (client wants/needs), to obtain them. What may have been an issue is a focus of attention elsewhere. (Perhaps in areas that do not concern flight?)

This applies not only to the Merlin, but to all aircraft in the sim. I call your attention to all those that go ooooooh! at the inclusion of the turbo whine of the 109. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

With all respect but just downloading free files won't help anything. Please think about what is really required for sound design in a flight sim. You quickly will come to the conclusion that it is not as simple as that.

And BTW the RoF sounds are quire accurate when comparing to original sounds that ARE available for FULL replicas because there are planes out there that use original engines.
