Hello Just Flight team,
I'd like to report a thing nobody seems to have mentioned so far as your products are known to have a very top notch audio quality overall, which is true !
However it's obvious that the Fokker 100/70 sounds in the cockpit are very centered on the stereo spectrum, the stereo image is pretty narrow.
I'm a professional composer & sound designer and, I'm sure you'll agree, I think sounds are as much important as other aspects of the module. This issue really bothers me.
I put three different aircraft audios into a vectorscope to visually see the stereo image to prove my point. You can clearly see that the Fokker has a very narrow imaging. This is especially noticable while using headphones.
You DON'T actually feel like you're in the aircraft unlike other airplanes which have a wind sound, ventilation, packs...all around you. In the fokker, the windshield, the avionics as well as alarms sounds do sound like they are almost in MONO and in your face.
I think this is a real issue that shouldn't be ignored.
I can't access the Wwise files as it is encrypted but I can assure this would be quite a simple fix, even if your initial recordings from the real aircraft were recorded in mono (stereo widener, HAAS effect, short reverb (for alarms that scream in the small cockpit compartment...etc)
Here are three examples, sampled at the same time (during approach at about the same speed). I get it's different airframes but that doesn't answer the narrow stereo imaging.
