I recently purchased the GAS Stearman 75 (FSX) and enjoy flying it.

It comes with several variations

AL75300
IB75A
N2S

Rather then alias the sound to one sound folder, there are three sound folders with their own sounds.
The AL75300 has the smallest amount of sound files - not sure why and it does sound different then say the IB75A - Which sounds close to authnetic.

Out of curiosity, I check out:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing-Stearman_Model_75

and noted that the Powerplant = Continental R-670 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_R-670)-5 seven-cylinder air-cooled radial engine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_engine), 220 hp (164 kW)

so my question is shouldn't the same engine go with the different versions mentioned above? I'm just looking for info
as to why the three different sounds and I know I could just pick the one that sounds the best to me and use it for all
three version. Unless anyone knows of better sounding Stearman sounds.

Here is the rationale for the three engines and sound files. The 220-hp Continental R-670 powered PT-17 and N2S-3 was the stock engine for the milspec versions, the A75L300 represents a post War civilian conversion powered by the 300-hp Lycoming R-680 and finally the "Super" Stearman IB75 show plane is fitted with a 450 hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp Jr.

After doing more through research, I have discovered what you said above. Thanks for the info. Guess I will just leave them as they came.
