The reason I refer to the forward cabin is that the engine/environment sounds are very different at the rear of the aircraft and also I expected that the sounds from the cockpit would be similar to sitting 15ft behind. I'd also say that the numerous YouTube videos from similar seating positions give a very realistic sound recording based on the actual experience in the forward passenger cabin and neither are similar to the sounds in the Sim. That is specifically on the 772LR and 77W. My only question to you is, what are you using as a basis for comparison when you state "they're not accurate?"īecause that's a bold claim without any shred of proof or evidence whatsoever in your post.įirst of all let me say that my comments are based on time clocked in the forward passenger cabin ahead of the engines, 4 flights this month and more than 100 over the past 5 years. I have heard them inside the passenger cabin on numerous occasions and they sound exactly as what PMDG has created. I work on the ramp at CYUL and I hear these things every day. They've stated again and again they went to extra lengths to make sure the audio was professionally done and mixed for authenticity. PMDG recorded the sounds directly from the real aircraft using professional recording equipment. You can't compare the sounds to YouTube, even as a similarity. Just wondered what the thoughts are on this, especially from users with significant experience flying or as passenger on the 772LR? Is it a limitation of what's possible to recreate within the sim world? Doubt that considering how fantastic a job PMDG have done with the other sounds and the overall package. However, the growl is more typical on the RR powered 777s but not with the GE engines. A few of the guys who defended my thoughts described the issue well by explaining there was more growl than whine. Disappointing as the engine sounds on the 777 are incredible. Well, after many weeks of ownership and testing it has to be said that the YouTube video sounds are just the same as on the sim, not accurate at all.
I was slated by some of the "defenders of the PMDG realm" which was understandable and encouraged to rethink my position after being in possession of the software. I thought the start up sounds and idle to 55% are awesome but it's gone adrift post 55%.
I posted a similar topic just a few days prior to the launch when the beta testing videos were available. The engine sounds post 55% are not accurate at all.
