On this subject, some time ago I played with ripping sound from youtube videos (in an attempt to get better sounds, including a "blue note" for the hunter).
While I didn't finish the project (I got the blue note and lost interest, pretty common for me), I actually found that it was surprisingly possible to get good results simply with ripping from the fairly low quality sounds you get in youtube videos and cutting out a good loop-able region (I think what I did from memory was take a clip, cut it in half then swap the halves and cross faded the new join in the middle). The main thing, for engine sounds, is to get a good loop, the actual sound quality isn't so important because aircraft are pretty noisy anyway. Of course if anybody was to do this for inclusion to flightgear data, they'd need to get permission to use the clip under GPL etc... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
