Hopefully this classic Merlin flyby sound...

It has a griffon.

The Hurricane from the first post? Hmm I don't think so. The Spitfire in one of the videos further down has a griffon, but that first Hurricane certainly didn't sound like a griffon engine.

Did the Hurricanes even use griffon engines? I don't think they ever did.

Hey, if 1C can fit diesel engines into our Spits and Hurries, why not a Griffon in a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Hurricane IIc? LOL

EDIT: clarification - when flying in CoD the sound of a Spit or Hurri alongside me sounded vaguely familiar.....and then it hit me. Sounds almost identical to an 18-wheeler's diesel engine beside me on the 401 when I'm cruisin' on my Hog! Conclusion: 1C shoehorned a flippin' diesel engine into our beloved Spits 'n Hurries!!!! LOL

Ha!

I need to stop coming on here during the work day. All I want to do now is get back up in the skies and I've got 7 more hours to go.

Uuuuughhh....

Hurricanes never had griffons and spitfires only got them from Mk12 on

No diesels, then?

Nope....but German bombers had diesels, I have no idea what they used to create the merlin sounds, I guess it's just too hard to synthesize the pure music of a merlin

My god, you're right! I was checking my five o'clock this morning on the commute because I thought I'd picked up a wingman.

I hereby launch the Cliffs of Dover PMS Group! The Proper Merlin Sounds Group.

How come those ruddy blue pilots get a lovely sounding DB engine and we get a transport truck?

PMS? Love it! Make me a charter member!

I can live with a wimpy Spit Ia, I can deal with a reversed-animation Spitfire mixture lever, but a diesel engine under the cowling????? NEVER!!!

(Sorry, was having a Jafa Sound Mod - moment.......)
