Boris Audio Works Releases Cessna 172 Soundpack for MSFS 2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
The soundpack features dynamic engine audio that responds to RPM and throttle, realistic wind and aerodynamic effects tied to airspeed, detailed cockpit switch and system sounds (fuel pumps, gyros, avionics fans), and an angle-of-attack-responsive stall warning. Previous MSFS 2020 owners get the MSFS 2024 version for free, and it's available from Orbx for $7.13. The article lists the key features but does not include hands-on testing or subjective impressions of how the audio quality compares to alternatives or the default sounds.
Excerpt from Threshold
Boris Audio Works has released his Cessna 172 Sound Set for MSFS 2024, a popular audio replacement previously available only in MSFS 2020.
The pack replaces the default MSFS 2024 Cessna 172 Skyhawk’s sound environment with recordings from a real aircraft.
According to the product page, the soundpack includes dynamic engine audio that responds to RPM, throttle position, and load changes, while wind and aerodynamic sounds vary with airspeed. Various ground handling sounds have been modelled, including touchdown and rolling sounds, that respond to landing conditions.
Cockpit switches, buttons, knobs and levers have gotten their sounds replaced or added outright, and the package models system audio for the fuel pumps, gyros, avionics cooling fans, and electrical buses. A new stall-warning horn is included that varies with the angle of attack, and a noise-cancelling headset is also implemented.
The previous MSFS 2020 version shares ownership with this new edition, and existing customers of the MSFS 2020 sound set can download the MSFS 2024 edition for free on Orbx Central; the same arrangement applies in the other direction.
Key Features
Dynamic Engine Audio: Rich, multi-layered piston engine soundscapes that react dynamically to throttle adjustments, RPM changes, and atmospheric loads.
Environmental Acoustics: Real-time wind and aerodynamic drag sound effects calibrated directly to airframe stress and airspeed.
Tactile Cockpit Switches: Crisp, distinct audio feedback for every button, toggle, switch, knob, and mechanical lever.
AOA-Responsive Stall Warning: A multi-stage stall horn that changes in pitch and intensity depending on your actual Angle of Attack.
Dynamic Ground Handling: Realistic touchdown thuds, roll noise, and surface interaction dynamics tailored to touchdown speed and sink rate.
System Depth: Fully modeled fuel pumps, gyros, avionics cooling fans, and electrical buses.
The Boris Audio Works Cessna 172 Sound Set is available from Orbx for $7.13 (€6.21), including VAT where applicable.
