IL-2: FB conf.ini values
 

I'm having a problem with sound static in the external view and radio transmissions. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer.

The Realistic occlusions switch determines whether the obstacles (for example the hull
of the aircraft) will reduce the sound volume. If it is switched on and you are inside the
aircraft, it becomes more difficult to distinguish the sounds from the outside. If your card
supports EAX or A3D, you should flick the Environmental acoustics switch on. You can
use the other two switches at your discretion. SoundExt.occlusions=0

In IL-2 Sturmovik (classic) conf.ini, it's value is "1", and in the Forgotten Battles conf.ini, it's value is "0". Should I change the FB value to "1" to see if it helps?. I don't have the same problem with sound in IL-2 (classic).

What about these two...

Disable streams - select this option if there
are gaps in the sound. However, you will not
be able to use the network telephone or listen
to music. SoundFlags.streams=1

Disable statics - select this option if the sound
effects are out of sync with the image. SoundFlags.static=1

These three settings that were available as options in the IL-2 (classic) setup, aren't available in the Forgotten Battles setup.

Seems to be working well now. :grin:
