Am i to read into this then that we won't be hearing Merlins or D-Benz engines,how close is the synthetic version to the real thing?.
I wondered if the Merlin sounds could've been recorded from an external running engine on a test bed if access to the aircraft wasn't available.
Would the sounds be able to be modded/patched in the future if access and recording equipment were able to get access?
Thanks
