Hi, I am back from my trip to South Dakota. And thanks to flying on 5 or so planes, I have more suggestions that I hope will be implemented. Yes eurofly is a game and it probably will never be 100% realistic but these ideas could help based on what I noticed while flying. Oh and the pilot of the one boeing 737 we flew on let me and my sighted-11-year-old-son check out the cockpit of the jet after we landed in Denver Colorado and gave us both plastic united airlines wings pins to pin onto shirts. The jet cockpit was quite tight and cramped. And between the first officer’s seat and captain’s seat there was a big box or panel with all kinds of knobs and buttons and switches on it. And I could hear the whine or hum sound of the flight management computer and other aircraft systems while sitting in the first officer’s seat in the cockpit while the jet was at the airport gate. Now on to my suggestions… and yes these may require more parameters in the .def files.
Taxying... When taxying the engines should power up a lot more than they currently do to push the plane forward when pressing home and power down a lot more dramatically when pressing end to slow down. Also add sounds for when the jet is turning on the ground, a high squeaking squealing sound is what I heard when the landing gear wheels were turning to make the jet turn while taxying. When holding end to slow down, and when breaking, you should hear the sound of big tractor-traylor breaks, if you know what I mean. When the plane reaches speed 0, or parked, a clunk sound should be heard. That is what I heard when the breaks were fully on on my flights. This would make eurofly more accurate-sounding. Taking off… First, Flap sounds are good in eurofly. No change there I think. Second, When taking off in eurofly, whether you hold in home, or press alt home, in both instances both engines should power up dramatically. The sound of landing gear and flaps going up is fine. Climbing and descending and landing… When climbing and yes this I think will require some additions to the .def files in eurofly but it will be very much worth it! So when climbing, I would like to hear the engines power up all the way. When done climbing and the aircraft levels out, the engines should power down maybe to midway. Like if max pitch is 40000 they should power down to pitch 35000 or 30000. And when descending they should both power down significantly, get quieter, while wind sound gets a little louder. Turning… In flight, When turning left. You should, in eurofly, hear the following. The right engine powers up a good bit and gets a bit louder. While the left engine powers down a great deal. Then when coming out of the turn the right engine powers down to cruising speed pitch, and left engine powers back up to cruising speed pitch. When turning right the opposite occurs. When turning right, left engine gets louder and powers up its pitch raises a lot higher, engine gets louder, right engine powers down a great deal and gets quieter. When coming out of the turn left engine gets a little quieter and powers down to cruising speed pitch, while right engine powers up a good bit back to cruising speed pitch and gets louder leveling out with the left engine in your left ear or headphone/speaker. Landing and descending… When descending or the nose is at a negative angle such as minus 5 or minus 15, both engines should power down a great deal and get a bit quieter. When leveling off, engine pitch and volume should raise back up to cruising speed pitch. When landing, the touchdown sound is fine. But right away when you hit alt-end to slow down, if plane is going faster than 100kph, both engines should power up to max, this would signify or mean that the spoilers or reverse thrust is turning on, to slow down the plane. When plane reaches 100kph, and if you either hit b for breaks on, or end, or alt end to continue slowing down, you should hear a tractor traylor breaking sound. And when the plane stops or reaches speed 0, a clunk sound should be heard to mean that the breaks are locked. Fueling the plane… The fueling up sound is perfect! You got that all right. When we took off from Rapid City to Chicago they had to put fuel in the embraer 145 plane we flew on. Later on, if you all wish, I have a nice clean recording of my flight from rapid city to Chicago on the embraer so if you wish I could post it. I recorded it with the hi-q mp3 recorder set to record raw audio, no pre-processing, and the mic gain set to 100%. Its mono, my phone does not support stereo recordings unfortunately.
