Tu-95/An-22 sound substitute

[alex94]

Can anyone recommend a good sound for the big Kuznetsov nk12 props for FS2004 please

I don't think anything's ever been "customized" Alex.

The closest I think you'll find (that I'm aware of at least) is the sound pack which accompanies the TU-114 .... which, from memory, was produced by SAMDIM several years ago if I'm not mistaken.

Just confirming the recommended TU-114 simulation (which includes NK turbo-prop sounds) "IS" a SAMDIM DESIGN BUREAU production hosted by FS.COM as follows ....

FS2004 Tupolev Tu-114 Base Package

Size: 25,607,038 Date: 09-16-2004
FS2004 Tupolev Tu-114 Base Package. First unit CCCP-L5611. This package contains a complete model of the Tupolev Tu-114 with genuine panel, sounds, precise flight dynamics, virtual cockpit and a huge virtual passenger cabin. Make sure you have the Active Camera plugin to fully explore the interior of the plane. Complete HTML documentation is also included. Install this package first, before any other Tu114 repaint. By Samdim Design bureau. Dimitri Samborski (coordinator, models), Sergei Golosov (panel), Maxim Mysin and Nikolai Samsonov (textures), Pavel Usachev (flight dynamics) and others.

A more recent development is the following TU-95 BEAR by Peter MERCY .... and which also includes a representation of the NK turbo prop sound .... in fact it might be a re-engineered version of the same audio package as the above TU-114 (?) ....

FS2004 Tupolev Tu95 Bear. The Tupolev Tu-95 (NATO reporting name: "Bear") is a large, four-engine turboprop-powered strategic bomber and missile platform. First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Soviet Union in 1956 and is expected to serve the Russian Aerospace Forces until at least 2040. A development of the bomber for maritime patrol is designated Tu-142, while a passenger airliner derivative was called Tu-114. The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines with contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today. The Tu-95 is one of the loudest military aircraft, particularly because the tips of the propeller blades move faster than the speed of sound. Its distinctive swept-back wings are set at an angle of 35 degrees. The Tu-95 is unique as a propeller-driven aircraft with swept wings that has been built in large numbers. By Peter Mercy.

One needs to be aware though that although these NK turbo props sounds work fine with each "THESE SIMULATIONS" .... since these are what thy're both compiled for use with .... this audio may not work as well if used with an AN-12 or any other simulation.

FS auduio .... "IF IT'S DONE PROPERLY"(as Benoit does) .... needs to be compiled in accordance with certain FDE parameters. This's why sound packs .... like those offered by HJG .... are "AIRCRAFT ENGINE TYPE AND BASE PACK SPECIFIC. They work well when applied to the intended simulation, but, not as well if applied to the wrong. or any unintended/alternative using different FDE.

That's the way FS audio works (best) .... the FDE always having "the final say" in regard to audio playback quality/integrity.

Hi:
I have published at Avsim.Su a brushed Up Tu-114 with realistc panel, flightdynamics Using The model and repaints of Samdim. The Sound is from a Tu-95. If you want you can use that Simulation for experimenting with the 95.
You find it at Avsim.Su searching for "WalterLeo".
