The sounds are finally coming along well. I've been 'worried' about...and playing with the engine sounds for quite some time, being that you can't just record a MU2 engine and handle all the possible ways a user may interact with the engine in a sim....and I've had to also learn FMOD along the way. If you want to simulate "cranking" or a hot start, or a shutdown, or a slow start, you have to accomodate the engine RPM at any given time and for any given duration. This means you need a relatively complex "looping" setup of sounds that only play when their "physical source" is in play. You don't find many videos of MU2s of cranking....or owners willing to 'crank' their engine several times for you and kill their battery while you record sounds. You may recall X-Plane firing up a turbine and playing the "lightoff" sound even if the engine doesn't lightoff. That's unacceptable to me. ....so the challenge has been to mix and synthesize the various components of the engine sounds to try and recreate the real thing. Well the engine is finally starting to sound realistic IMO...not perfect but not bad.....and the better it gets, the more I keep playing with it and why things keep dragging out. That being said, I think the wait will be worth it. I can honestly say that after 17 years from the first time I started building the MU2 for X-Plane....its finally shaping up to be the simulation I wanted it to me.

ID41 Stibnite View File This is my rendition of Stibnite Airfield (ID41), Yellow Pine, Idaho, USA. It is purely library-based and doesn't contain any custom objects. It features the curved runway, some vegetation and a simple cabin. I recommend using it with ortho scenery (the screenshots were made using VStates Idaho) - the default mesh has some glitches in the area.
