Help Changing Engine Sounds

  • Hi everyone,

    I've recently started learning Aerofly modding, mainly working with .tmd files to improve aircraft immersion, camera inertia, and hydraulic systems. After experimenting with several aircraft, I've become interested in creating custom engine sound mods, specifically for the Boeing 777-300ER.

    I've noticed that in ZK Aviation 's A380 mod, include files such as engine_fan_intern.tsb, engine_whine_intern.tsb, and engine_roar_ext.tsb, which appear to replace or modify the default engine audio. I was wondering if anyone could explain the workflow used to create these sound mods.

    What tools are required to create or edit .tsb sound files, and what would be the general process for taking real-world engine recordings and implementing them into Aerofly? Are there any SDK tools, community tools, or tutorials available that would help me get started?

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to learn how to build my own GE90 sound package for the 777-300ER and better understand how Aerofly handles engine audio.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Well, as someone who just started making engine mods too, here's the general process. If you want, I can tell you the specifics later.

    1. Get your desired sound from YouTube/wherever you want. Convert that to WAV. Make sure your audio file has only the same frequency/pitch so that the engine sounds loop smoothly.
    2. Use Audacity (for PC, for mobile, use Termux or any chroot/proot desktop environment) and export your audio as WAV, 22050 Hz frequency, and as 16 bit signed PCM.
    3. Rename your specific engine audio depending on your aircraft (example: wing_left.wav)
    4. Convert to tsb via Aerofly FS 4 Aircraft OR Content Converter. These tools can be found on the Aerofly website.
    5. Package your TSB files inside a TME file (its actually like a zip file) with the folders (from top to bottom) - dlc_aircraft_(name) > aircraft > (name) then put your TSB file on the bottom folder.
    6. Install like any other TME file.
