Classic British Flight Sim

The new freeware Nord Noratlas by Jean-Francois Martin and Gilbert Millas is wonderful, but could possibly benefit from a better set of engine sounds. The aircraft was powered by SNECMA-built Bristol Hercules engines, so thats what I am looking for. Any recommendations gratefully received.

Hi Paul,

That looks lovely Does DG's Beaufighter have Hercules engines?

Take a wander over to the pond and search for Bristol Hercules and you will find Gary Jones best work.

Thanks gents. Having looked at the Noratlas sound.cfg, I'm not so sure its a straight forward job to replace the existing with Gary Jones' set. I think I will leave well alone...thanks again for your responses.

Just remove the Nord sound folder, unzip Gary's sound file to the Nord then you are up and running.

I'll give it a go Nev, and see if there's anything untoward. Normally just swapping folders would work, but looking at the sound.cfg that comes with the Noratlas, I wonder if there will be things missing - I'll get back to you. Meanwhile, here's a picture of the VC;- 3D gauges and hugely 'clickable' too.

Nice pics I'll download it then take a look at the sound files.

Just had a look see, It's a straight swop out Paul,

Listening to the original sound files, they are quite similar to the real french built Hercules (but the developer has added too much bass to his files).

The French version did deliver over 2000 hp, about 20% more than the UK ones that Gary modelled.
