Boris Vanian, one of the most well-known audio experts in the community, is bringing his audio magic to one of the most popular airliners in Microsoft Flight Simulator: the PMDG 737NG series. With the upcoming Boris Audio Works PMDG 737 NG Sound Set, your simulated flights in Boeing’s workhorse will never be the same!
A complete sound rework
The Boris Audio Works PMDG 737 NG Sound Set promises to deliver an entirely revamped audio experience for the 737, with every sound engineered using recordings from real-world aircraft. From the unmistakable spool-up of the engines to the subtle hum of avionics, the sound pack aims to bring an unparalleled level of realism to the cockpit, cabin, and even exterior views.
Notable features will include:
- Engineered precision: Authentic sounds for engines, Variable Bleed Valve, and fuel rushing.
- Cockpit ambiance: Enhanced APU start, GPWS alerts, and even audible aural warnings from the Aural Warning Module.
- Cabin atmosphere: Redesigned seatbelt chimes, cabin attendant call tones, and authentic chatter to simulate a live flight environment.
- Unique details: Sounds for throttles, reverse levers, and even sliding luggage during hard braking or sharp turns.
- Active noise-canceling mode: A toggleable option for quieter, focused flights.
A sneak peek
For those curious about what to expect, YouTuber SWAFanPilot has shared an in-depth video showcasing the sound pack’s capabilities during a flight from Denver to Albuquerque. The video provides a detailed look at the sound rework, including start-up, takeoff, cruise, and landing sequences. While the product is still in beta, the video offers a great preview of the immersive experience that Boris Audio Works aims to deliver.
The catch? It all sounds fantastic (pun intended), but it’s not available just yet. The product page is already live on Orbx’s website, so it likely won’t be a long wait. Expect the price to be around $10 USD. As always, we’ll keep you posted once it’s out!
