Throttle Position Sounds?
#1

Flying a very quiet airplane with a RadioMaster TX12 with no throttle ratchet and very loose friction. Is there any way that an OpenTx radio can simulate engine noise using the throttle positon? Just a variable pitch sound would help knowing throttle position.

I doubt you can create a sound file and command line to have throttle variance sound.
You could have separate sound files that come in at different throttle stick settings or voice telling you at fixed steps.

Thanks. I was hoping that a variable pitch tone could be created that was dependent on the throttle position. That would be neat! Hope someone might figure out a way to do that. I guessing there are others that might enjoy that feature.

The only way I can think to do it by parts available over shop counter .... is by a second small RX, small lipo and a sound module ...... you could have this anywhere on you ... not necessary to mount on the TX.
It might be a bit loud though !!

That is an idea that I would like to have on my TX. I haven't been able to find a way.

mmmmm I think anyone flying next to you might not be so happy with throttle sound ??
I know we have a couple of guys in the club who don't like to hear other flyers radios beeping / talking etc.
