NOTE: This soundpack is fully compatible with PMDG 737NGX and freeware 737NG add-ons.
737NG CFM Immersion Soundpack HD is developed in a unique way that should provide the most realistic and immersive sound experience. All sounds are carefully processed and mixed to mimic the exact frequencies of the CFM56-7B engine as heard on the real 737NG flightdeck. Also, we received an extensive feedback from real 737NG airline pilots regarding important sound details. Every build of the soundpack is reviewed by the pilots and approved in the final stages of the development.
We highly recommend using this soundpack in correlation with our NGX Cockpit Sound Immersion soundpack developed exclusively for PMDG 737NGX.
All sounds included in this product are recorded in the real airplane, and are in high definition 44100 kHz, 16 bit format.
Features:
- Authentic CFM56-7B high definition sounds, as heard on the real flightdeck.
- Realistic gear retraction and extension sounds
- High quality groundroll sound
- Main gear touchdown sound
- Wind noise
- Open/close door sounds
- External engine sounds with full sound cones
- Alternative bassy engine sounds included
Other features for non-PMDG 737NGX add-ons:
- Authentic cockpit ambience
- Main gear/nose wheel touchdown sounds
- Flap lever sound
- Autopilot off warning
- Fuel pump
- Gear up warning
- Glideslope warning
- No Smoking & Seatbelts sign bell
- Stickshaker stall warning sound
- Overspeed warning
NOTE: Sound quality may be reduced in the promotional video due to video compression.
If I had one wish for an update couldn't you get a Cabin immersion where you hear the heavy sound of the CFM from behind the wings, better hydraulic flap sounds and the "roar sound" when starting to taxi and the CFMs start spooling up ?
I am not a pilot therefore the 737 Immersion to me is the cabin sound rather than the cockpit sound. Many freeware packages offer a cabin sound alternative but of course not as nice as yours. Maybe to think about it.
Again thank you for your dedicated work to the community at very reasonable prices.
Cheers from Hamburg !
PRO
1) the spool up sound is the best ever simulated to PMDG 737NGX
2) the wind sound is very well sampled at cruise level
3) the sound samples are well normalized, so you won´t explode your sound system
AGAINST
1) the sound in general at cruise level is not closest to the real thing. In 737 at cruise level there is more low frequency sound and we almost never hear the high pitch sound of engines! The real sound at the cruise level is almost a mix of low frequency rumble of the engines and wind sound. In this package we are hearing the high frequency of engines....That is definetely not real
2) It is very strange that seems to me that on this sound mix.....the low frequencies are not well represented. I miss a lot the absence of low frequencies.
CONCLUSION
It is the best sound for PMDG 737NGX, but I was expecting something more, mainly because it is a payware product. It might be due I have the FSLabs A320, which is the closest to the perfection in terms of sound to P3D. But I´m waiting for corrections on the sound mix to solve my questions. Thanks guys, good work!
Thanks guys
Compared software sounds to sounds of 737's online(YouTube, Boeing.com etc)videos and the similarity is amazing. Recent service pack includes APU sounds etc.
Product is worth the minimal investment.
I cant wait for this devs next piece of art - he makes it even funnier to flight sim!!
Thank you!
Typically I am not a fan of modding an original product like the NGX. The stock sounds are already pretty good, I would say better than most 3rd party sounds. Prior to replacing any sounds, I subconsciously neglected to fly the NGX and always picked other aircraft. When trying to pin-point what made me do that, I found the stock sounds - especially in cruise - fatiguing to my ears.
The first replacement sounds I got were by TSS. While these sounds are high quality and I have nothing negative to say about them - they didn't "feel right" for the flight deck, but for improvement they were much easier on my ears.
With the 737NG CFM Immersion sounds Immersive Audio did a fantastic job in creating a sound environment, that I can imagine being present on the real aircraft. The first thing I was concerned about, was the return of those frequencies I mentioned earlier. I am very happy to report that those are not present at all.
The quality of audio is excellent and certainly fits the NGX simulation very well. At first I was a little mislead by the volume of the sounds through the promo video, but after a couple of flights it all seems very natural. That is what makes this package so good - it all feels very well tied in with the original product, the NGX goes hand in hand with the sounds.
One critical point I found was that the sounds behind the engines are super silent, which makes it almost feel a bit "unreal" when looking at the plane from a chase perspective or panning around it. Also the transition between the front and aft of the wing seems a bit too harsh for me.
Over all this is a solid add-on, that does what it's supposed to do, nothing more or less. With the price in consideration there's no other option than to fully recommend this product.
