Very nice Jan. Metal looks lovely.

As a sound professional, I concur with your comments. As someone with experience using Wwise (and one of its competitors FMOD) in professional training simulators (not flight sim, for what its worth) it's painful to see so many not fully understanding what Wwise is and what it isn't. It's a great new sound engine for FS but as Fnerg said, and I completely agree, the crux of the matter is the source material -- good, high fidelity recordings made under the right conditions with good equipment, and processed for computer audio systems. All that is expensive. I'm confident a quality sound set using legacy method could be built and people would think it was Wwise if they didn't look under the hood or expect the features that just do not exist in legacy (such as the low-pass filter dynamically applied when closing a window, etc.)
If I had more time on my hands I might be tempted to get back into FS sound design and contact you (you may recall I did a sound set or two for AH back in the day). Perhaps when I retire ... I figure MSFS may be a stable title by then

You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.

Looks nice JK
Huub
great stuff JK
Anybody wanting to try a different soundset just edit a sound= line in aircraft.cfg to point to the Asobo p51
eg find [FLTSIM.1] and replace Sound=""
with Sound="\..\..\Asobo_P51D_Reno_Common\sound\"
and select that repaint...compare by swapping with a different repaint.
No other changes needed.
TBH I think the AH internal sounds are best, the Asobo externals best, and as a VR flyer I'm 99% internal so I'll stick with AH.
one more paint for you guys to play with:

Exactly as typed, means up two levels of folders then back down the asobo leg
Oooh, that's better. Thanks for the tip!

I am enjoying flying the AH P-51D.
AH did a great job on the look and feel of the aircraft and it is one of the best flying tail draggers in the sim.
Mapping the sound files to the reno P-51D as suggested in prior posts makes the sound file much more palatable to my humble ears.
My only suggestion to AH is to consider using a modified version of the AH Spitfire 1a sound file to get closer to the Merlin sound. I find that sound file to be very good. The provided AH P-51D sound file seems to be missing the lower frequency sounds. They are present in the Spitfire file which is why I like it so much.
Although I am a retired pilot, I cannot say that I have ever actually flown a P-51 so I cannot comment on what it really sounds like from a pilot's view. Of course, with modern headsets, the sounds in the cockpit that one hears is just a muffled subset of the sounds that the aircraft is actually making. It is my understanding that the P-51 was very loud and many of the pilots had severe hearing loss.
Congratulations on a superb rendition of the aircraft. It is clearly very well done and very flyable and it can be flown by the book. It is well worth the money.
Hi,
Maybe i'm a purist yet the one of the thing holds me from buying is the odd shape of the nose-cowling and spinner.
It's not a complete curve yet has level elements in it and also makes the spinner too long.
Real one (noticed the complete curve):
Lot's more example, just do a image search on google.

And the purist in me agrees with Marcel, and I also wonder about the four rings on the prop of Old Crow. There should only be three I think

It also looks to me from YT vids like the wing hard points are considerably oversized? And the drop tank shapes/sizes that I've seen don't match any of the common ones.

Can I use the FlyingIron Spifire sounds? Here's what I have in my aircraft.cfg:
Sound="\..\..\..\..\ac_flyingiron-spitfire\SimObjects\Airplanes\flyingiron_spitfire\ sound\"
Both the Spitfire and the P-51 are in my Community folder.
No Sound. I tried simply replacing the P-51 sound folder with that of the Spitfire. That didn't work either. This was easy in FSX and P3D.

You seem to have an extra space before ‘sound’ in the directory reference unless that was just typed out for this forum. Don’t know if removing that will fix the issue though.
I have to be missing something simple, but the light bulb hasn't gone off yet.
Here are the direct paths to the P-51 and Spitfire in my Community folder:
D:\FS2020\Community\ac_ah-p51d\SimObjects\Airplanes\ah-p51d\sound\
D:\FS2020\Community\ac_flyingiron-spitfire\SimObjects\Airplanes\flyingiron_spitfire\ sound\
In order for the P-51's aircraft.cfg to "find its way" to the Spitfire's sound folder, I have to "go up" four directories, then "down" to the Spitfire's sound folder. I tried using only two (\..\..\) without luck.
@jetstreamsky: Yes, that extra space is not in the aircraft.cfg.

Update:
In a move of utter desperation, I purchased the Asobo P-51 pack, then set the AH P-51 sound to "Sound="\..\..\Asobo_P51D_Reno_Common\sound\", as keithb77 originally posted. This worked, which makes no sense to my basic dark ages Windows/DOS directory structure knowledge, such as it is. That relative path does not lead to the Asobo P-51 sound folder. Obviously more learning about how this sim works is order.
P.S. -- The Asobo P-51s are pretty good. But this AH P-51 is fantastic. Thanks AH!
