• 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.

Recording sounds

I have been working on modeling an aircraft for FSX; it's a Taylorcraft, which is similar to the Piper Cub. I've already gotten started on the visual model (Gmax), and now I'm just waiting for the snow to melt so I can take pictures of the thing.:) I may have an opportunity to go flying and record sounds from the actual thing. In order to create a sound set, what sounds should I record? What engine sounds/other should I capture?

Thanks in advance.
 
Well, After careful reading through the SDK, and comparing default FS sound sets, I've come up with a method of recording the sounds for the Taylorcraft. This airplane doesn't have an electrical system, so i won't need gyro sounds or anything like that.

List of sounds to record

Inside:
  • door opening/closing
  • startup/idle
  • 1/4 throttle
  • 1/2 throttle
  • 3/4 throttle
  • full throttle
  • ground roll
  • touchdown sounds
  • shutdown

Outside:
  • door opening/closing
  • startup/idle
  • 1/4 throttle
  • 1/2 throttle
  • 3/4 throttle
  • full throttle
  • shutdown

The recording of this set would ideally need 3 sound recorders going at the same time, one positioned inside the aircraft, one outside and to the 2 o' clock position of the craft, and one behind the craft shielded from the propwash to minimize wind sound. This is to utilize the ability of FSX to produce 3d sounds as you pan around the outside of the airplane.
 
Thanks for that video, I got a few ideas from it. I do not have fancy recording equipment, but I have a a few HD video cameras with multiple microphones. I can edit the video to isolate the sound.
