Excerpt from Threshold
SoFly has released a new product, Airport ALIVE: Global Base Pack, for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which adds a new layer of ambient airport audio to over 500 airports worldwide.
Read SoFly’s blog post here.
SoFly says the add-on implements over 100 audio effects at these 500 airports, ranging from terminal sounds to security areas, aprons, taxiways, runways, and other parts of the airport environment.
Depending on where the user is positioned, SoFly says they may hear passenger chatter inside terminals, various ramp activity outside, aircraft movements, weather effects, and other background noises associated with an airport.
The audio also changes dynamically, with SoFly saying the system takes into account the time of day, day of the week, and current weather conditions.
Rain can, for example, be heard hitting the pavement, and the terminal sound effects will quiet down during the night.
Aircraft-related activity can also vary depending on the time, SoFly says.
All sounds use 3D spatial positioning, meaning their direction and distance should change depending on the user’s location.
Volume is also adjusted automatically between cockpit and external views.
SoFly says Airport ALIVE does not require a widget on the in-sim toolbar or Electronic Flight Bag application.
The package is designed to operate automatically after installation and supports default, handcrafted, and third-party airports without requiring a program or panel to configure it.
The Global Base Pack includes a good mix of regional, international, and island airport settings.
SoFly has published a full coverage list separately, which you can view here.
The developer is also planning to add regional expansion packs that will include more location-specific content, such as terminal announcements and air traffic control chatter.
