New GE CF6-50 Sound Packs For Project Open Sky B747-200/300 SimulationsAlthough the P&W JT9D turbofan became the first of the 1970's erabig high-bypass ratio turbofan jet engines developed wide body civiljet air transport it was not the only contender for this market. Similar power plants of various specifications and for differentapplications were also being developed by both GE and RR. The GE CF6 turbofan became the 2nd of these powerful, quieter,modern, hi-tech engines that were developed especially for firstgeneration wide-body jetliners such as the A300B, B747, and DC-10. Internationally reknowned FS sound engineer Benoit Plamondon nowhas pleasure releasing his latest audio project "GE CF6-50sound packs for the B747-200 and -300". /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/u79fjg1.jpg /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/6mPLBjc.jpgThe GE CF6-50 turbofan offered greater power (within the 51,000 LBto 54,000 LB thrust range .... depending upon engine sub marques) thancompeting early version P&W and RR type powerplants. In the interests of fleet and engineering standardization it becamethe engine of choice among those long haul B747-200/-300 carrierswhich also operated A300B's and DC-10-30's or whom required greaterpower than was available from the then best P&W and RR powerplantoptions. This "new" audio project represents more than two years ofdevelopment work and beautifully captures the "unique and verydistinctive" (among the 1970's/80's era big turbofan engines) tones ofthe GE CF6-50 series turbofan with an audio fidelity not previouslyoffered for flight simulator .... a Benoit Plamondon trademark. It's been compiled using only the very best interior and exteriorreal world recordings then fine tuned for exclusive compatibility withthe POSKY GE version B747-200. -200F/SCD, -200M, -200SF, -300, and-300M models (authored by Hiroshi Igami) .... and which are easily thevery best freeware models of these particular aircraft currentlyavailable for FS. Each of these new freeware sound packs have been produced asseparate "FS2004" and "FSX" specific audio versions and are intendedfor those whom seek high-fidelity audio based upon what's heard from a"flightdeck perspective" .... with equally meticulously engineeredexternal audio added. What's heard on the flightdeck is quitedifferent from the PAX cabin environment aboard any civiljetliner. For example, using these sound packs one will be treated tothe predominant sound of flightdeck based avionics, and wind frictionnoise in proportion to simulated aircraft acceleration (with verylittle engine sound audible during cruise), and when selecting theflaps and landing gear one will primarily hear the "clicking" ofassociated levers and wind resistance noise .... along a whole lotmore audio ambiance too and with the "FSX" sound pack also explotingthis version's unique doppler audio effect. /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/XILexOT.jpg /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/lQkWazx.jpg /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/eG9utec.jpgDownload Linksfsx_cf6-50_b747-200-300_fd.zip (FSX version) fs9_cf6-50_b747-200-300_fd_v1.zip (FS2004 version) Audio Visual Preview B747-200/-300 GE CF6-50 "Flightdeck & External View" Sound Packs Interior Audio-Visual Exterior Audio-Visual /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/RLIpMiF.jpg /images/notams/notams18/snd1123/ON9OozS.jpgThese new sound packs are as good as FS audio ever gets.
