Borklund Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Here's one you could possibly sample. It's a NASA made one. Which is kind of weird for them because they put in a lot of sound effects IN SPACE. O_oIt's purely practical. You get a better sense of what's going on when you have sounds for engines and rcs thrusters. Seeing the rocket fly past your brain expects a sound, so in one way it's more immersive.

razark Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Which is kind of weird for them because they put in a lot of sound effects IN SPACE.It helps keep people interested.And NASA needs to keep people interested if they want to keep doing stuff.

Daishi Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) It's better, but not the thing I'm after. I have a clean audio sample for you to use; PM sent.Hows this? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwghV4P-Gb6QbkRsV1FhM0hSbFk/edit?usp=sharingAnd heres a quick vid demonstrating it with my MMU\Spacetug.

Borklund Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hows this? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwghV4P-Gb6QbkRsV1FhM0hSbFk/edit?usp=sharingAbsolutely brilliant! Thank you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremzack Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hows this? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwghV4P-Gb6QbkRsV1FhM0hSbFk/edit?usp=sharingAnd heres a quick vid demonstrating it with my MMU\Spacetug.

Daishi Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 So that's the sound it makes, Thankyou I will be downloadingWell, that is with the custom sound I made for Borklund Its deeper and has more bass than pizzaoverhead's included audio. Download link is above the video, and just overwrite the file in \GameData\RcsSounds\Sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaoverhead Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 yupp,can you make a simple small part for the wheels that making servo motor sound? That's something I'd like to do in the future! The only problem I have with it is getting sound effects. The sound for this mod was just made by playing about with the noise generator in Audacity. It's not quite right. For one, it would probably be better being a bit deeper.Uhm. Catch. It does NOTHING. And yes, I checked for quotes.[...]Its ok,working like a charm but you need modify some lines in the .cfg to look like this:Are you using the v1.1 release and KSP 0.22? The 1.0 version overwrote part.cfgs and isn't compatible with 0.21. I'm glad you got it working.Hows this? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwghV4P-Gb6QbkRsV1FhM0hSbFk/edit?usp=sharingAnd heres a quick vid demonstrating it with my MMU\Spacetug. Excellent! Now that's more like the sound I was aiming for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincourtl Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thank you for putting this together. Here's the sound I'm using. It's not quite what I'm looking for, but it's close enough for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdfox Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 For the record:NASA put sound effects in space into its videos for the same reason that you hear a "swish!" as the Enterprise flies by in the opening credits of Star Trek TV shows--people discovered that if you don't have a sound effect, it seems "dead" and unrealistic, and you think you're just looking at a model. So even though it's less realistic, adding the sound effects makes it more viscerally believeable.As for the sound of the RCS, I've always heard that what the crews mainly hear in flight when using them is sort of a "thud" or "bang" sound from the valves operating, depending on the size of the thruster. Since we're clearly getting sound from an in-cockpit microphone in KSP (note the sound of rocket engines in space, the rushing of the relative wind on re-entry in still air, etc.), it makes sense that we'd hear those noises when the thrusters fire...

Isolated clangs and thuds would just seem like Jeb and Bob ferreting around for more snacks in the supply cupboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to get near a KSP-capable computer for a while. I'll be releasing an update with the enhanced sounds once I do, but that may be in the new year.

Hurry- Starfish! Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Why is everyone even discussing sound in space in here? This doesn't look like space to me:RCS thrusters are usable in atmosphere just like they are in space, which goes for every other engine in the game as well. And all of these engines makes the same sound regardless of location, so why would you discuss all that in here? You could have the same discussion in the thread of every single mod that includes a custom engine, which would be really annoying, so please don't...That said, there are mod like Atmospheric Sound Enhancement or Audio Muffler that deal with that. If space sounds bother you, maybe you should take a look at those. Edited December 22, 2013 by Hurry, Starfish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyLunch Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello Pizzaoverhead. Just want to say I have been enjoying this mod for awhile. Great Mod. But since last update ive been playing stock career on a clean install. So now im ready to install some mods, and I would like to install this one. Only one problem, its not working with other mods, because the 2 DLL files included are not up to date. Module manager is at 1.5 something, taken over by someone while the author is away, and most of the current mods are using that. Not 1.3 - So this mod wont work with them. Is there any plan to bring this current??? I hope so. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance.You can delete the module manager files and replace them with the latest Module Manager and it should work.I've been holding off as there's a new release of RCS Sound Effects coming soon: better sounds, the option of a adding shutoff valve sound, and lighting effects from the RCS firing. It just needs one final bug fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaoverhead Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 The 2.0 release is now out, download here. Changes: Added improved sounds by Daishi. Added shutoff sound. Added light to the RCS effects (thanks to taniwha for providing some pointers on this). Upgraded to ModuleManager 1.5.6. Fixed sounds continuing to be played on pause. Fixed multiple simultaneous RCS firings resonating together. Fixed sounds continuing to play quietly while idle with SAS and RCS enabled. Fixed .NET target version.

junkie_business Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 RCS often don't fire continually but in very short bursts. I'm pretty sure I've heard the RCS on Apollo CSM/LM tapes, a sort of cracking, popping sound. That would be a great thing to hear in the game.

pizzaoverhead Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 If you find a good recording of the Apollo RCS firing, you can replace the included sounds with that one. I'd be interested to hear it if you do! video outlines the Apollo RCS firing and pulsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the sound overhaul mods, they usually add a nice touch to the game experience. I've been finding that I miss the SRB sounds in particular. Going back to the stock noise is a bit painful. And I mean that in the most literal way possible. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kingtiger Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Love the new shut down sound! I think the main burn needs to loose a little of the bass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
