Love the Cabri G2, in real life and in X-Plane11 :-)

One thing that annoys me in X-Plane is the "wine/grind" noise in the background of the motor noise, after a while I take the headset off to fly it grinds on my nerves so much.

If this exists in real life the headset/brain tunes it out, I've listened to video's etc I've taken flying the real thing, and it sounds so much better than the sim.

I've tried replacing the sound in the sounds/engine directory with ones I've recorder, but the STMA updater replaces it.

Is there a way to exclude the sounds directory from update?

Hi there!

The project making use of FMOD sound, and the default, included sound folder is obsolete, not tuned and should not be used...replacing the files there will not affect your experience unless you are deleting the FMOD files inside the fmod folder. You can always do that by compressing the files and deleting the existing ones. Then, when needed, you can extract them and have them again in that folder. You can also disable the autoupdater easily and enable it again once an update is being released and announced.

Again, all of the above is not recommended.

Sound-wise....in general, when flying with modern headset, in real-world, especially active ones, ambient sounds are being eliminated almost completely. In X-Plane, you can go to the sounds setting menu and "play" with the bars, and reduce the required channels to your preferences. I'd recommend taking this path.

Hope that this information is being helpful!
