I think the french are overmodelled in HG :)

I always got a kick from the minstrel following 'brave brave Sir Robin' and those rude French men as they tried to storm the castle. LOL

Engine Sound Problems
 

I have un-installed and re-install IL2 1946 more than 5 time in the last 5 days trying to isolate a sound problem. The problem is that every time I start / stop IL-2 and select a aircraft from arming when I start the a/c I may or may not have engine sound. Sometimes I'll have engine but it will come and go. Most of the times I lose the sound when the engine is between 1500-2700 rpm but sometimes I'll lose it between 500-1500 and it may come back in at 2000 or 2700. I have 4.091bm aI have UN-installed and re-install IL2 1946 more than 5 time in the last 5 days trying to isolate a sound problem.

I have 4.091bm and .93 sound mod installed. I'm using a unified mod installer created by the 352ndvfg. No on else who has used the installer has had this problem. I'm attaching a pdf to show the error reported by 7 zip(rar) when extracting the file parts to my IL-2 Dir. Some time I can restart the game all the sound are all OK but not every time, thats the funny part is that it comes and goes at difference rpm ranges. Also 352ndvfg is using the latest mods is there unified installer. My system specs. are

p-4 3.0 Ghz
2.5 megs of memory
nvidia fx 7600CS card/w 512mb
160 sata hd with 91 gigs available
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card (WDM) driver date 3/11/2004 /ver.=5.12.4.442

Try installing without the hack to determine if that's the issue. Barring that, I'd suggest asking where you got the hack. My unhacked version works fine. ;)

Are you talking about the illegal hack/mod?? I wouldn't do that here....

Well well that is what you get from illegal hacks. And then they come and complain in Oleg's thread on his own company forum.

WE GOT NEWS ! WE GOT NEWS ! See this lovely 110 !!!! HAHA !

The grass looks interesting, but the real nice part is the super-detailed damage graphics (and I suppose that translates to detailed damage modelling).

I wonder if the game really calculates the surface damage when it does flight modelling; in IL-2 a tiny hole in a wing used to make your plane barely flyable...

110 looks awesome!

Sorry didn't know that 4.09b1m was and illegal hack.
