Slow frame rate? Strange antenna growing out of your head(s)? Try the original sound engine. Problem solved? Tough luck partner, you're on your own.
What a great idea, Azimech! I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement this but having a common, installable format for sound mods would not affect aircraft performances (for online play balance), the onus for proving permissions would no longer be on DT's shoulders with respect to sound mods, the user would be able to pick his/her favorite set of sounds and this would allow the dedicated sound mod makers out there to continue their great work. Everybody wins as far as I can tell. If this is implemented, perhaps the same or similar updating scheme could be used for map repaint mods.

Cheers and thanks for sharing,
