Oleg, don't forget the sound sampling for tomorrow

What I meant is that the sound is still relatively clean. It's hard to describe. Maybe I should just put on my headset and turn up the volume ;P

But then again, when the spit fires my whole room starts to shake from the guns. In normal flight though it sounds as if there wasn't any bass at all? What do you guys think about the sound? I've never flown inside a spit so I can't tell how real it sounds anyways.

Hahaha yeah I can imagine that could happen as well

The couple of times I've been up flying (mind you not in a Spitfire) the ear protection muffles pretty much everything. It's still noisy but what I heard wasn't unlike the sound in the video. I imagine external view is much noisier.. To be honest while playing the game you don't want to feel fatigued because of some really irritating sounds so I like the approach.

if you must post youtube flybys you have to post something like this that includes a DB powered 109 with that ominous and distinctive DB "whistle"

on a side note its getting harder and harder to find real WWII footage, youtube is getting spammed by IL2 tracks these days

Agreed, the Merlin is no match for the 605... Great clip by the way, not having any air show safety distances

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.
