[@Bluthemacaw1]

I visibly pogged at 3:42, holy HELL you added the nosewheel spin down, I have literally never been more excited for a sounpack, SO looking forward to this release!!

That nosewheel spindown is INCREDIBLE

[@MarekHron]

Just keeps getting better, really looking forward to this one!

[@Efficient7x]

Wow, these sounds are absolutely amazing!

[@TwiceTheSize]

Mesmerizing... ❤

[@MrGyngve]

I bought your pack for Rotate MD80. I sure hope you can update it to this standard!

[@ImmersiveAudio]

Only certain sounds. We are using Rotate's sound engine which is missing some sounds by default.

[@CaptKornDog]

Will there be updated switch and knob sounds?

[@ImmersiveAudio]

Of course, all sounds will be replaced.

I thought the original Maddog sounds were pretty good, but these samples do capture some nice extra things like the gyro sounds, and I like that you have a decent amount of bass frequencies in there. Definitely makes it feel powerful on takeoff. I don't have any real life frame of reference, but listening to cockpit videos, it seems like perhaps the air conditioning pack sounds are a little quiet relative to everything else in the cockpit? Maybe it's just poor recordings on those videos, but most of what you can hear is air (like white noise). The balance of the original sounds seems closer to the videos I've seen. Of course that could be incorrect. I'm sure real pilots could confirm. The other thing is that when you panned your camera view left/right, the stereo effect seemed a bit strong with my headphones in. It would be nice if it wasn't quite so strong as I doubt the sound would change dramatically just turning your head to the side.

Air conditioning pack sounds are pretty quiet comparing to 737 series for example. We did our best to match the decibel levels from the real cockpit recordings. Also, stereo effect is strong only on gyro vibration and windshield wind noise, as in real life. You will also notice another layer of wind sounds that will cover the stereo field all the time. There is a lot of details to cover and explain, but one this is for sure - we can't make the soundpack perfect for everyone. :)

@@ImmersiveAudio thanks for explaining. Happy to defer to your expertise! The stereo effect thing is I guess more of a personal preference. All I would ask is that you test it with headphones on because the effect is a lot more extreme than if you're just listening to speakers and it can feel quite disorientating sometimes.

@@mdhazeldine All our soundpacks are developed with studio monitoring, over-ear headphones, and tested on various speakers on the later stages. The project is still Work In Progress, we might change a lot of things, stereo separation included. Thank you for your input!

[@mdhazeldine]

@@ImmersiveAudio good to know! thanks

[@petergorniak7277]

Where can I get this sound pack, please?

[@ImmersiveAudio]

The title says "Work In Progress" which means it's work in progress. :) As soon we finish it, we will post the official sounds demonstration video, with the info where you can buy the soundpack. Thank you for your interest.

[@petergorniak7277]

@@ImmersiveAudio That was my question. I wanted to know where I could purchase it.

[@ImmersiveAudio]

We didn't decided yet. Maybe it will be ORBX + Marketplace exclusive, maybe it will be available on SimMarket + FlightSim.to. We will let the community know in time.
