B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Benoit
This video (like Benoit's last one previewing the DC10-10 GE CF6-6 version soundpack for FSX) can actually serve two purposes ....
(1) ... to preview this new DC10-15 and DC10-30 GE CF6-50 version soundpasck for FSX.
(2) .... to also preview some of the DC10-15 and DC10-30 textures we'll be releasing in the future too.
NOW THEN .... let's see how observant everyone is
Did anyone spot "an interesting detail" with the CANADIAN PACIFIC DC10-30 livery featured within Benoit's above video ?
Camilo and myself painted this particular livery together .... and apart from it being the very first time (we believe) this particular historic livery has been represented for the DC10 and FS .... there is, also, something else "interesting" about it .... if anyones' noticed.
Anyone spot what it is ?
For those whom aren't so familiar with the DC10's ....
These particular aircraft were powered by 3 different types of turbofan engines .... the GE CF6-6 (which powered the DC10-10 series only), the GE CF6-50 (which powered the DC10-15 and -30 series only), and the P&W JT9D (which powered the DC10-40 series only .... and which, I believe, will also probably be the subject of Bemoit's next FSX DC10 audio preview) .... each of which were
"distinctly different" tonally although the tone of GE CF8-50 was "UNIQUE" in this respect.
Here's the DC10-10 GE CF6-6 turbofan engine version (audio-visual preview) for comparison ....
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFKt5kTsqTUBenoit's audio has b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y captured the tonal differences between each of these engines (as previewed so far) .... right down the characteristic "surge/gusting" (sound) made by these engines when power was advanced from idle/near-idle to taxi power .... and which may be detected within some the CANADIAN PACIFIC, MEXICANA, and AIR NEW ZEALAND segements featured within the above video.
Again .... these previews promote the forthcomming
"FSX VERSION" DC10 soundpacks only .... each of which takes advantage of the "superior" FSX sound engine/coning which better replicates sound from ahead, beside, and behind any FS point of view. This coning effect is particularly well demonstrated by the way in which the volume of any subject increases as it approaches the FS point of view .... then continues to change slowly by the time its alongside .... and eventually evolves into a good/solid roar as it passes by and once ahead .... in each one of these videos and which results a unique/more realistic audio effect.
HJG will be releasing these FSX specific DC10 soundpacks during early 2015.
The FS9/FS2004 versions of each of the 3 DC10 soundoacks are already uploaded/available from HJG .... on the
"McDONNELL-DOUGFLAS SOUNDS" page.
Whilst the FS9/FS2004 sound engine isn't as superior/apable as that of FSX .... these DC10 soundpacks, for this particular FS version, are none-the-less equally authentic (tonally) too.
"NICE WORK" Benoit .... and nice to see you "flying the flag" for me too per "The Airline Of The Worlds Greatest Travellers" ....
