Tired of the old engine sounds?

12.0k Starbound  5.9 years ago

Today I've started working on a mod that introduces a collection of new engines to the game. Here you see a showcase of the Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engine, the famous powerplant of the Spitfire and P-51 mustang:

The engine you see is a custom object, that is attached to another object based on the T1000, so it keeps all the nice designer properties you would expect from an engine in SimplePlanes.

In case you're wondering, I have started to work on the nukes mod aswell, I just can't access the project right now because of circumstances.

    @JumpingJack Tbh that's something ive been considering for a while now as it lies really close to my interests. Unfortunately, I just cant seem to make any time for it these days.

    i know this is an old post but could you possibly do a mod for car sounds with their respective cylinders like v6 v8 v10 v12, and an engine note rpm range tied to the horsepower or something? that would be really cool.

    @CarsonG1017 @BaconEggs No plans for custom sound. And if I somehow got it to work, the sounds you use would have to be seamless in order to work correctly. Also there is a bunch of listener/master effects applied to the engine audio which can make it sound different.

    Yeah you should make it so that the user can change the sound of engines with .wav files or something similar.

    You should definitely make a mod variant that replaces the sound files, and also give the option what sound file an engine could make.
    Ahh.. take inspiration from this, and this. Both are spool-up sounds and I want them very much when I fly big planes.

    I want a BMW 801(the one on the Fw190). Daimler Benz 605 would be cool also.

    It’d be cool if you made a mod where the engine noises are muffled in cockpit view and camera views, as though you’re inside the plane...

    I have smoothed the sound out a bit, you see if I try and make it more grunty it will not sound as good from a distance! so I try to find a balance. @jamesPLANESii
