The stall buffet is very regular compared to environmental turbulence
(I just finished flying through 3.6 hours of the latter).


All the best,

For some reason I was under the impression that turbulence didn't 
work with YASim.  As it does then I agree that using turbulence 
would be a better way.

I have been thinking about the audio aspect for a while, though not in
the context of stalls. I think that a broader approach of linking
certain sounds such as rattles and whumps to various types of changes in
 acceleration and some calculated vibration property would add a lot of
realism. This would buy you sound from turbulence, violent maneuvers,
wheel rolling, and wind shear.

Unfortunately I have not had a chance to play with the idea yet, but I
do have some handwritten notes that I would be willing to share. It
would be nice to have a script for all the models to use that would
provide a few easy to link to properties for various mechanical sounds.

The right way to do it, IMHO, is with the turbulence input, as that's
what the stall buffet is, after all: turbulence over the wings due to
flow separation.  Modify the number based on the current AoA, probably
with a little Nasal (maybe also modify the C++ to sum the turbulence
input from multiple properties so as not to confuse the environment
subsystem).

If audio is required, then this ought to be tied to turbulence also,
or maybe to instantaneous acceleration changes (a delta of more than
YYY m/s^2 over the last 0.XX seconds triggers the start of a "whump"
sound).
