ASTi Model Builder: Engines, Rotors & Propellers
Model Builder can easily create aural cues, such as engine, propeller and rotor sound simulation. High level parameters generated by the host computer such as engine and rotor RPM, blade angle, thrust, torque, etc. are sent to the DACS to generate engine, rotor, and propeller sounds. Objects can then be tuned by setting parameters locally, such as number of blades and blade length, to achieve the appropriate simulation.
Some of the features include:
  • Jet/Turbine Engine simulation
  • Intake and exhaust sounds
  • Helicopter main and tail rotor sound simulation
  • Propeller sound simulation
  • User configurable parameters such as blade length, blade number, and blade hiss characteristics
  • High level parameter driven interface such as N1, N2, RPM, and blade angle
