Make turboprops actually sound like turboprops

[deep sage]

A lot of turboprops in the game have the same sound, so this would improve a large amount of planes at once

They barely sound like they even have propellers - you can only really hear the high pitched whirr of the intake (even when viewed from the back of the plane, which should have little to no intake noise) and the only prop noise is high pitched and completely smothered by the intake

This video of a Dash 8 Q400 starting up and taking off perfectly demonstrates what most turboprops in the game SHOULD sound like

I love my turboprop planes and I want to fly them more but the sound alone is enough to make me avoid flying them

tu-95:

some turboprops on max throttle does not sound like a turboprob

it sounds like a super strong wind

being more jet sounding

[pure burrow]

this is a w suggestion ngl

turboprops in game sound dogwater

ngl the yt vid thumbail made it also a good thumbnail for this suggestion

fits the topic

[deep sage]

yea i didn't know embed thumbnails worked as forum pictures in discord

i really hope they change the sound in like the next update i really wanna fly more turboprops but they genuinely don't sound good lol
it's a super easy fix too, just replace the old sound ids

[random blade]

Honestly good suggestion, sometimes I want to die because I’m listening to the Rainbow’s turboprops

[pure burrow]

dude the tu-95 sounds like nothing compared to the original

give certeain turboprop their own exclusive sounds maybe

the be better

[leaden quartz]

A400M and E-2 Hawkeye:

[pure burrow]

Oh yeah

But why the c130 8 bladed propeller does not make those sounds

[safe pollen]

wow an suggestion that involves a video that might be useful for getting samples from

quite a rarity

[leaden quartz]

hi hyperant

[hard mica]

[deep sage]

well erm um erm in my other suggestion i also linked video that could maybe possibly yes be useful https://discord.com/channels/820044095535185951/1278623155577028671

no but actually the video was one of the first things that popped up when i searched "dash 8" on google it can't be that hard to find audio sources lol

[low bluff]

me hopping off a war thunder air match filled with wyverns to see this type of suggestion

[leaden quartz]

how is this not approved

[ionic sparrow]

i play on 0 volume so i dont care much

[pure burrow]

Turboprops from the distance sound like jet aircraft

[deep sage]

i'm like actually curious where they even got that sound effeect from becausee it does not sound like any turboprop literally ever

[main axle]

They should have people working on sound design

that would absolutely set this game apart from literally every other plane game on roblox

[agile portal]

literally this

i gotta be real the ingame sounds are mid

[wispy plaza]

literally unplayable

[valid owl]

https://youtu.be/Ba9ImAt0634?si=vTFAP54rWjePo6c9

i used to work alongside this bird and her sister before they both were retired in 2019

[agile bronze]

excuse me what

[valid owl]

and to be frank i do kinda dislike the tv static sound the ingame turboprops make

but she was a screamer

[mighty cape]

the rb211 sounds are terrible honestly

i literally cant use the 747-400 with rr because of it

or honestly even the global hawk and anything else with that exact sound

[deep sage]

i'm willing to do it for them for free bro it ain't hard 😭 that and QA

[agile portal]

and the 777s with pw4000s

[pure burrow]

i need a source of that sound

[pure burrow]

Guys

I heard multiple a400ms and c130s above my house from probs 26,000 feet

[tacit tundra]

You hear planes too? /j

[pure burrow]

like where did the devs found the tv stacic sound from

[deep sage]

lmao please devs answer 😭

i didn’t even realize this got 80 yeses

[pure burrow]

i want this kind of stuff https://youtu.be/fERjjGCohwA?si=Mr4kO7Mf4oR2Qkvw

[deep sage]

hire me for sound design i can find good audio clips for all the indevidual planes devs don’t wanna update

[pure burrow]

give tu-95 charm with its nk-12 sounds, not the tv static sound used on most turboprops

[deep sage]

if the bear had this sound ingame i'd actually fly it so often

good sound design goes a long way

[mighty cape]

the bear and tu-114

real

i wouldve bought it if it had that sound smh

[leaden quartz]

i think only the dynavert, a400m and the hawkeye have custom turboprop sounds

and the v-22 and the whole s-70 family kinda counts

[agile portal]

pw 777 PLEASE

[deep sage]

good quality videos of that one are a bit difficult to find but i probably could stitch together a good sound for it

[low bluff]

wyvern S4

[deep sage]

Wawa_animated

still waiting

[pure burrow]

same

also the thunderscreech is not screeching, it purrs and whispers

[pure burrow]

https://youtu.be/-PX48awEkAc?si=DTIXeeTb0rtaKJFr

NK-12 sound in real life: 😍
NK-12 sound in Aeronautica (its same as any other turboprop engines): 🤮

also the an-70 and the yak-44 should get a sound change https://youtu.be/NhJNllbXBXo?si=9n5cqLn7nUHUAzbn

there is a replica of the an-70 sound

https://youtube.com/shorts/4JAG1sMw1fg?si=LKiXTKNVII5t-3KX

[deep sage]

Wawa_animated

[pure burrow]

yup the an-70 has a weird and unique sound

because of its quirky propellers

[potent shard]

yes

[deep sage]

probably not happening any time soon because i offered to do the sound design for engines in the game and the devs said they weren’t looking for any contributors 😭

[potent shard]

lol

[pure burrow]

where the heck did the devs get the ingame turboprop sound

the unrealistic tv static sound

[deep sage]

that's like the 4th time this has been asked here 😭 like actually

[pure burrow]

is there an awnser to it?

[deep sage]

nope

[low bluff]

ermmmmmmmm

bumping suggestion not allowed

[deep sage]

i am simply waiting for a response and also you can’t bump suggestions anyway because they are sorted by date posted

[pure burrow]

i know the noratlas is piston but it sounds turbopropy

[leaden quartz]

WAIT IT HAS CUSTOM SOUNDS?

AYOOOO

just make the turboprops sound like this

(sadly the noratlas needs a downgrade to radial sounds)

[pure burrow]

Maybe spice up the sound with turbine sounds and can be heard more far

[leaden quartz]

yea

[pure burrow]

Each turboprop could have a unique sound, because it could depends on the propeller speed or the amount of blades or different turbine sounds

The a400m and e-2 got a unique sound treatment but those still sound unrealistic

[pure burrow]

A modified noratlas sound would be usef on 4 bladed propellers

[mighty cape]

i love that sound

[deep sage]

-# hire me pls

pitching that up within studio should sound fine, if it gets pitched up and sped up it can be the full power sound

generic high pitched whine sound can be layered on top for the front of the aircraft while that sound is plain and by itself for the back

[civic comet]

ill see what i can do

[deep sage]

🙏

if that one gets anywhere i will contribute more sounds I just wanna know it's not going to waste lol

[civic comet]

real

whats the source btw

its not copyrighted or anything right

[deep sage]

the video linked at the top of this suggestion

[civic comet]

if its taken from a youtube video then it doesnt really matter

ah

[deep sage]

and engine sounds can't be copyright lol

[civic comet]

true

[deep sage]

that turboprop sound should replace the generic one all turboprops without custom sounds use

at least for now

[civic comet]

yea if i update the turboprop engine sound then that should auto transfer to any plane using that sound

which is probably every turboprop

[deep sage]

every turboprop besides a400m

i think that's the only one with custom ones

[civic comet]

ah ic

[deep sage]

i know the way the audio works it like plays forwards and then backwards, if you do that and playtest it by chance could you ping or dm me with how it sounds cuz im curious

hearing it actually being used always feels different from the sound file by itself

[civic comet]

yea sure

[deep sage]

yippee

[pure burrow]

Also make more unique turboprop sounds

[mighty cape]

it would be amazing to have the nk-12 sound

[pure burrow]

Also make Turboprops be heard more far

I heard several a400m flying at 26k feet

[deep sage]

if the one file i made already gets put in i will contribute more

[mighty cape]

we’d need to get some audio clips of distant sound ig

[pure burrow]

Find them on YouTube

[civic comet]

@deep sage jet whistle + new sound

yes i know its the wrong plane but theres no actual turboprops in test game lmao

[deep sage]

hmmmm
it sounds amazing in idle but full power sounds a little odd and the jet engine sound is way too loud
idk i’d have to hear it at home with headphones on to be 100% sure, i’m at work rn

i know project flight uses the same sound i need to go back in there and figure out how they used it

[civic comet]

i just yoinked the whistle from the JT3D so it hasnt actually been modified yet

[deep sage]

are y’all able to fix the startup/shutdown sounds cutting off this update too because they are so damn good honestly and it’s a shame you can’t hear most of it in some servers 😭

[deep sage]

gotcha

[deep sage]

ok yea pitched up sounds weird gimmie a sec to see what project flight does

i can stream it to a vc too if wanted

so it seems like it's pitched too high at max speed
it's probably not possible without like a full sound system remake but i'm realizing one thing PF is doing is increasing the volume as well as the pitch when the engines are throttled up

there's another sound they play at the same time as the same sound i made for you guys that kinda adds sound filler (it might be another turboprop's sound layered underneath the main one, i can't really tell)

in the front you can hear that high pitched whine of the turbo, that should be that quiet

[pure burrow]

What about?

https://youtube.com/shorts/g8PzyR_ohIw?si=CI2da0IvCRNcKKat

https://youtube.com/shorts/4JAG1sMw1fg?si=Q9UPLPl8x_BQlgdR

https://youtu.be/NhJNllbXBXo?si=mUq-1yt69prqdUdL

[deep sage]

coaxial turboprops sound way different from normal ones, those should not be the default sound

[mighty cape]

for sure

[pure burrow]

Or what about the amount of blades

Like 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 blades

[mighty cape]

do they really have that much of a difference

[pure burrow]

uhh

[deep sage]

yes with helicopters, no with planes

generally speaking anyway

i mean a two blade plane is probably gonna sound different from an 8 blade but not by that much

[pure burrow]

Or what about the jet sounds of the turboprop

Its crazy that I'm supporting a furry's suggestion, even tho im not a big fan of them
Thats because this suggestion is peak

[mighty cape]

[deep sage]

trying to find a good turbo sound to use and found what sounds very similar to the current jet engine startup sound ingame lol https://youtu.be/d2kPhudi9dg?feature=shared

[deep sage]

ok i found a similar hum to play at full power and i may have found a decent turbo whine, i’ll get those made into .ogg files to combine with that and then i think they’ll be perfect

[civic comet]

brilliant

[mighty cape]

peak

[deep sage]

what does the pitch of the main sound go to when it's max throttle?

[civic comet]

🤷‍♂️

its auto done via script so i have no clue

[deep sage]

uh oh

[civic comet]

but, making a seperate audio for full throttle

makes it the original

basically generic audios just have a startup/shutdown and a running audio

throttle is just some code modifiying the running

but then we can add unique audios for seperate throttles along with other stuff (eg 100% throttle, rumbling, whistling, etc)

then some auto audio fuckery can smoothly transition the general idle running audio to the full throttle audio

[deep sage]

ohhh

ngl it would be a lot easier to understand visually
i know some planes have certain patterns with the audio

[civic comet]

some of the unique jet engine audios can have like a dozen unique sounds

[civic comet]

these can also be made directional

[deep sage]

like PWs on the irkut airliners/kanamoris have that one sound file that plays at 40% throttle specifically

[civic comet]

ah ic

[deep sage]

anyway basically
turboprop idle is the main sound
turboprop max is full throttle, played at a volume just below the idle
and then i'll get the turbo whistle and that should play only at the front of the aircraft at like 0.1 or 0.05 volume

[civic comet]

how loud should the whistle be relative to the one in my vid

[deep sage]

umm

3 billion percent quieter

[civic comet]

fair

[deep sage]

idk it should be just audible under the other two sounds

[civic comet]

[deep sage]

turbo sound is harder because the whistle is hard to find on its own lol

oh also are the sounds for distant engines different or just modified versions of the normal

i know like private jet engine intakes that have that weird "reer" sound to them sound almost exactly the same when zoomed out versus zoomed in, just like muffled or smth

its not the best but it's better than what is currently ingame lol

[civic comet]

yes theres also a distant sound option

[deep sage]

is it required or will it just make one more muffled if one isn't put in

idk if what i'm saying is making sense

[civic comet]

if there isnt one specified then it just does the latter pretty sure

[deep sage]

oh ok epic

so then use the main/idle sound for that
main/idle should pitch up less when at full throttle
max power sound should be slightly quieter than main/idle (main/idle should be the loudest)
and turborpop front should only play at the front like an intake and it should be very quiet

[civic comet]

sure ill give that a shot

[deep sage]

i'm so excited finally i'll be able to actually enjoy flying my atr

[civic comet]

this is the whistle right

[deep sage]

yes

[civic comet]

added new sounds time to test

gotta make the whistle a bit louder and then ill send a vid

[civic comet]

@deep sage

audio cutting at the start is just me clicking off dw about that

[deep sage]

whatever the idle volume is set the full power volume to like
.2-.4 louder

[civic comet]

sure

[civic comet]

whistle is fine?

[deep sage]

i think so, its kinda hard to tell
maybe a bit quieter since when you panned to the right it got really loud for a sec

[civic comet]

sure

[civic comet]

theres that

[deep sage]

what number louder did you set it

whistle is good

[civic comet]

idle is .5

full is .8

[deep sage]

set full to .65 and if possible make it loop by playing in forwards and then in backwards etc

[civic comet]

dont think i can do the 2nd one but ill try the first

[deep sage]

i can hear it looping which in hindsight i should've avoided so if the second one isn't possible i'll try another audio source or remake that one with smoother sound

my fault lol

[civic comet]

no problem

[deep sage]

backseat developing is hard

katboom

idk if that's the right term

[deep sage]

🤌

gorgeous

[civic comet]

[deep sage]

i will get that fixed full throttle sound tomorrow

[civic comet]

ill show all the unique sound options if youre interested in some of those

[deep sage]

waow

[civic comet]

theres also howl

[deep sage]

idk what half of those are tbh

[civic comet]

same lma

[deep sage]

i'd have to hear them all to match them
