Immersive Audio recorded the real R66 from multiple angles, in total of two recording sessions, simmers can be sure that the quality of the sounds are second to none. All the sounds are derived from 96khz, 24bit recordings, and absolutely no sacrifices are made to the quality whatsoever. The sounds will really transform how you will experience this helicopter, it will suddenly feel like a breathing machine.

I really enjoy this sound pack. The r66 is my go to and this just makes it even better. The ground fx noise is my fav part.

Love the sounds, but I am hearing some voices (like police scanner) in the AC audio.
That is a feature. All explained in the demonstration video. AC low switch is reserved for AC fans noise, AC high is reserved for AC + radio chatter. A bonus feature. :)

I think people don’t realize how sound can really improve immersion! This made R66 flying way more enjoyable, being able to hear what the helicopter is doing is honestly amazing. I’m sure this will get fixed eventually but when flying with doors removed I’d like to hear the changes the same way with the doors on
Yes, doors removed sounds will be added in the upcoming update. Thank you for the review!
