first "hear" of a possible sound mod...
 

TigerBbe33 sound mod post from SimHQ. This may be old news but just in case. I think it shows a lot of promise.

It's definitely sexy....I'm using Tiger33's sounds in my HSFX install of the original Il-2. Here's hoping for an official word on sound mods/SDK implementation...

Cheers,

Wow, that's more like it! Shame we didn't hear a flyby too.

The future looks bright. Thanks for the headsup.

I honestly can't wait for an official patch or a mod...I go to bed at night with that old Il-2 placeholder ringing in my ears.

Sounds nice, but I wonder how Steam's VAC-system, not to mention 1C's system for handling modders will react to such mods. Would definately like to have a Merlin SOUND like a Merlin, but since I also fly online, it's paramount that things stay on the good side of said two systems. Don't fancy getting banned for using a mod :P

What amazes me is that these modders do this stuff for free in their own free time, and they manage to get it better than game developers on a freakin payroll..

Something isn't right!

Ok, on the one hand, the basics are much more pronounced then stock, has a lot of potential there.

On the other hand, the sounds kinda sound a bit hollowed out. May be YouTube or compression or whatever is to be blamed here, but I have the feeling these sounds do not use the whole spectrum necessary to be believable. It does not help that the turbocharger whine of the 601 is hardly recognizable.

oh...yes please!

How many of the developers are really enthusiastic about their jobs? The modders have a passion that most game developers don't have.
That's the only answer I have to this.
