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 !<br />
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.<br />
I'm a professional composer &amp; 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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
I think this is a real issue that shouldn't be ignored.</p>
<p dir="auto">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)</p>
<p dir="auto">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.<br />

A Fokker lover</p>
