WHO ME !  Actually it's Benoit PLAMONDON & Mark CRANSTON  I could never have achieved what we (AEROMUSICA) did for the CARAVELLE soundpack had it not been for Benoit's superb foundation work .... he & I work "TOGETHER" on all our AEROMUSICA audio development for FS .... which also includes each of the Boeing, BAe, Convair, and Douglas aircraft soundpacks uploaded and available here. We did put a huge amount of effort into getting the CARAVELLE audio to sound "RIGHT" .... so .... we hope folks will enjoy it Mark C AKL/NZ |

Apparently some of the above 5 CARAVELLE's feature panel variations consistent with each operators gauge standard/instrument layout too .... which is something even I didn't know about previously.

The only problem there Mike is that all of UNITED's CARAVELLE's were series 6R aircraft .... which AFG haven't yet released ! The 6R was the first of the CARAVELLE aircraft versions to have thrust reversers fitted to each engine. The initial CARAVELLE 1 (prototype), 3, 6, & 6N series aircraft weren't fitted with thrust reversers at all .... and relief upon a braking chute .... then hydraulic braking power once the aircraft had decelerated sufficiently .... or so I belive ! With the CARAVELLE 3 that's just been released you'll observe that Benoit & myself have purposely not included any reverse thrust WAV within the accompanying soundpack .... for the abovementioned reason. We've (Aeromusica) made a total of 4 soundpacks for AFG CARAVELLE's .... covering the engine types applied to all CARAVELLE aircraft and as follows .... CARAVELLE 3, 6, 6N (RR Avon turbojet -no reverese)
CARAVELLE 6R (RR Avon turbojet)
CARAVELLE SUPER 10B, 10R, 11 (P&W JT8D turbofan)
CARAVELLE SUPER 10B, 11R, 12 (P&W JT8D turbofan - later more powerful version)These are all brand new never before released soundpacks .... which I think everyone will find highly authentic ! I'm presuming these will all likely become available in the future .... with the release of subsequent AFG CARAVELLE model versions. Mark C AKL/NZ |

Looking at the above panel images provided by "GUS" .... and for those whom haven't yet mastered the art of individual engine startups with this bird.
There should be a "QUICK ENGINE START/AUTOSTART" option available via "FAIL" tab indicated in the above above imagery.
