Spitfire XIV engine volume


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

The engine volume is incredibly quiet in comparison to the Sabre and Merlin. I can't find any documentation that states it was demonstrably quieter and watching the videos of flyable ones it doesn't seem awfully quiet. 

 

Can we get a buff to the in cockpit volume?

Turn up the volume. The engine seems not that loud because the slipstream is incredibly loud as well. I find the ratio of engine sound of slipstream vs engine noise quiet ok after flying in a Spit.

But the slipstream doesn't drown out the engine in other planes. Turning up the volume specifically for 1 plane because it's so much quieter than the rest doesn't really make any sense.

The consideration of slipstream noises cam later in BoX. I think it is not consistent for historic reasons.

The XIV is quieter than the other planes now. All the other planes have slipstream including the newer Typhoon, yet it doesn't have the issue with quieter engine noise.

Maybe because it is a Rolls Royce? ;)

 

 

Anyway, the Merlin is for instance a great lot less loud than the DB‘s…

I can't make the assessment from this that the XIV should be quieter than the IX or other planes.
