The Ultimate Flight Sim Sound Upgrade? First impressions of EcoSoundScapes by SoFly | MSFS2020

[@BastiSimming]

Watch this video next where we have a look at a wonderful small plane for MSFS 2020: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZWpkIWAbdKUqtU. After publishing the video I found the following statement of the developers of EcoSoundScapes which could explain the experience I had around Cities. Please have a look here: sofly.io/blog/a-statement-on-ecosoundscapes/

What about the aircraft flying over in high altitude sounds?

[@BastiSimming]

If you are more than a couple of hundred feet’s above the sound sources you will not hear anything as far as I understand it

[@AV4Life]

Be advised, I bought this on xbox and it did not work. Ended up getting it refunded. No matter what I tried, I just got the default sounds. Might want to hold off on this one guys until it’s updated, just saying.

[@BastiSimming]

Interesting. I only use a PC. Is EcoSoundScapes advertised as compatible with xbox?

[@AV4Life]

@@BastiSimming Yes, says it on their website and it’s available on the xbox marketplace.

[@BastiSimming]

@@AV4Life Ah it was not available on the marketplace when I recorded the video. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@jojobens]

Thx!!!

[@BastiSimming]

You're welcome! Cheers!

how install this mod ??

[@BastiSimming]

You need to purchase the add on and afterwards you will get a download link. After downloading unzip the file and move it into your community folder. It is more or less installed exactly as any other modification you download.

Cool product but it seems overpriced.

[@BastiSimming]

All in all I would agree that it feels a little on the pricy side. On the other hand the technical infrastructure the team has created with this mod is significant and there is potential when third parties / users release custom sound packages with it.

[@lfs-x1r]

I bought and installed and I can not hear any sound. I am going to give a bad rating .

[@BastiSimming]

That’s very unfortunate. I really love the idea of the addon but it seems there is room for improvement

[@danielpena-un8vl]

the fact that its not a global effect makes it a no no for me.

[@BastiSimming]

Yeah I can see that…

[@pinguinsudpol5120]

When sitting in the cockpit of the Fenix and I open the windows there is no airport sound… only in external view you can hear SoundScapes. That‘s a bug or not…? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BastiSimming]

Hmm I didn’t showed it in the video but I hear sounds from within the cockpit. At least in the C152. Actually it did not matter whether I had the door / windows open or not which I forgot to mention in the video. Did you saw my pinned comment about the blog post by SoFly? Maybe the Fenix stresses the system to the point where no sounds can be played anymore….

[@McFreddie22]

The whole point of this for me is if it works when you’re sitting in a dark and cold cockpit with open doors/canopy. That adds to the immersion, especially in VR. If that doesn’t work then there’s no point. I never fly in exterior view. Good video 👍

[@BastiSimming]

@@McFreddie22 Thanks, happy if the video is helpful!

[@HISTORICALFLIGHTSsimX]

Thx!!!!

[@BastiSimming]

No problem, hope it helped!
