• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA How to avoid interference with multi turbine?

Hello!

While remaking a sound pack for a twin engine helicopter I stumbled over the interference problem that occurs when using the same sound files for two or more engines.
They sound good when only one engine is running at a time, but with both running the sound turns into this strange noise/static.

I assume I should alter the files for the second engine, so they don't sound exactly like the first ones.

My question:
What's the best way to do so? Maybe there is a simple trick about it?

I admit that I'm a total noob concerning sounds just playing around in audacity sometimes :o

Thank you very much in advance,
Steven
 
Reverse one of the sound files. That's what I do, and it gives a nice, clear sound instead of that annoying buzz/phaser effect that even some of the default aircraft have. If you have more than 2 engines, upping the tempo is another way to go. Just have engine 1 using the original file, engine 2 using the sped-up original, 3 using the reversed original and so on. I've never had any weird effects from doing this, and it's a wonder that more people don't.

I used to mess around with sounds when I first started learning about FS development. Audacity it literally the best tool you can use for this purpose, IMO.

Thanks, ozz!!

That's indeed a very handy trick and will remember it.


PS: You're pretty fast on modelling! The Challenger project is awesome and I really like the VC already. Respect!
 
Cut the last half of the clip off, paste it at the start. Pretty simple, provided you looped it correctly in the first place. You only need it out of phase enough to avoid the phaser sound.
