Guys, you must remember that using "modded" sounds in an official release puts the developer and publisher in legal jeopardy.

Let's face facts here.

Not one person or group that has developed modded sounds for IL2 will say where the sounds come from. Ever wonder why? Because they are ripped from copyrighted material, that's why.

So, you say, just go to an airshow and record some planes.

Sadly it's not that easy. High quality sound recording isn't a cheap thing to do on it's own, much less pay the hourly operating costs for a WW2 era military aircraft and crew, times the number of different aircraft in the sim, if you can even find a flyable one of the type you need to record.

No publisher in the world would front the kind of money it would take to do it because of the limited return on investment they get for PC flight simulations.

I know facts are hard for some here to deal with, but deal with it you must.
