Hi, I was about to buy this sim but, before I needed to hear the sound environment I would get inside and outside of this helicopter sim.

I firmly beleive that sound is an big part of a simulation experience, almost as important as its graphic counterpart.

I launched the demo offered an instead of hearing the sounds related to the clicking of switches and engine start-up, i hear that SILLY MUSIC covering all the sounds coming from this chopper.

Why on earth are you playing that music that makes it impossible to judge the quality of the sounds inherent to that sim ?

Well, I refrained from buying it and went looking eslwhere for a Bell 47G.

You should make a choice: either sell "inappropriate music" or post a demo who will help us judge of the sound quality of your sims.

The same advice goes for many of your demos.

When we fly an airplane, we are most interested by sounds, not that by "silly music".

Regards

Vincent Royer royerv@videotron.ca

PS: please advise me when your demos will be cleared of this nuisance.

While I much agree with Vincent Royer's comments about the too-loud (and unnecessary) background music making it difficult to hear the aircraft sounds, I bought the sim anyway since it was on sale for $12. That's too good to pass up.

That said, even though the sim designer said the sounds were that of a real Bell 47, I found them to be quite different from the whirlybird sounds I heard as a kid from the H-13s from Ellyson Field that flew over my house dozens of times every day as the Navy/Marine/Coast Guard student pilots flew to and from their outlying training fields. What I especially missed was the kind of whistling sounds the rotors would make as they slowed and came to a stop (with no rotor brake) when the engine was shut down. You might want to compare this to the sounds on the "Whirleybirds" TV shows of the late 1950s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0gprgsC8HE

Still, it's a good sim, and I highly recommend it. Just wish it came with some USA Army or Navy markings, and HT-8 livery in particular.

Having purchased the Flysimware Bell 47 helicopter I am very surprised that that you have fudged what is a very good model of the actual helicopter by using the sound from another FSX helicopter namely the Robinson R22. The real Bell 47 has a very distinctive engine and rotor sound and the R22 sounds just ain't right. I do think that getting the correct sounds is very important. Perhaps a later update with the correct sounds would mean that I could score the helicopter 10/10 but at the moment I can only give it 7.5/10 simply because of the wrong engine and rotor sounds. Even the freeware version although not as well modelled as the Flysimware version has the correct engine and rotor sounds. Many thanks and looking forward to an update in the near future.

Excellent little chopper to fly around the city. I got a sound pack for this and now it is as real as it gets, amazing what the right sounds can do, highly recommend.
