After announcing formally just a few days ago, TOGA Projects has released their third-product: ENVSOUND. The new high-quality sounds will replace the default sound effects within the simulator and replace them with much more authentic and realistic sounds across the world. Over 80,000 locations have been carefully picked and sounds have been placed specifically in those locations. An update will be issued frequently increasing coverage over time. Currently, the focus has been on where third-party airports currently exist.
Some of the sound effects you will hear with ENVSOUND include coastal ambience (oceans, lakes and randomly generated sea birds), wind ambience, city and port ambience (the volume depends on city size), along with rain and thunderstorm effects.
Each location has been done with realism in mind with sound volumes adjusted to a realistic level. If you still want to, there are many options for customisation to create a soundscape of your liking. As with other products from TOGA Projects, the impact on performance is negligible and is also compatible with other sound add-ons, such as A2A’s accu-feel product.
