Bristol Hercules engine sound

[+RAVEN 414]

I need a suggestion for the 'Engine Sound' to use for a single Bristol Hercules Radial?

TIA

AvHistory sounds has it, also in the Beaufighters that Cocas and I did (but that's a twin sound)

 

maybe for a single, the Mecury sound? (also AvHistory)

Thanks Wrench, I have the 'RadialEngine.wav' sound, but it goes up and down ( oscillate ) to much.

I figured that what it would be for, from you MAX screen capture.

 

assuming a 1000 hp Herc, performance might drop a little due to drag, but without all the plumbing & weght for liquid cooling, might even out!

Preformed is quite good, HP is 1272 at takeoff. Merlin XX is 1280. The Hercules is 289lb heavier, I still have to figure weight without the Radiator and coolant.

as someone that always hated doing timing chains and timing belts....

this animation of the Hercules sleeve valve system gave me the heebee-jeebees!

 

just think the amount of work aligning these gears/cams/etc for proper sleeve timing (shudder)

Just wow! Just making the simple engine for the Hurricane took me 2 days.
