Please Oleg, improve the sounds !

let us have an option for modded sounds

I have not heard the sounds as of yet, and I hope that I will like them. I always enjoyed the sounds in the original IL2 release, but maybe there is just too much other things going on, so sounds suffer in cod

I will wait until I hear the sounds direct from the game dvd thru to my speakers before passing judgement. I'm not sure of the quality of the sound from the videos but those sounds are clearly not the same as the old IL-2 sounds.

Depends on what you talk about : if you talk about exterior engine sounds, it's false : they're exactly the same ones. But yes, the in-cockpit sounds are a lot better than in stock Il-2, they're rather good, even if they pretty lack of subtle differences. But in general, engine sounds aren't as good as we could hope, and really without being too demanding.

I suppose the outside engine sounds could sound the same to you, they don't to me, either way all the engine sounds have been built from scratch for the new game engine. Are you basing your assumption of the sounds on the game or videos of the game? There could be a big difference depending on the quality of your sound system. That why I'm waiting to hear the sounds on my system direct from the game software.

For me the internal sounds aren't bad at all. It probably will be no problem to fix the external sounds of those fighters. Cockpit is actually not too load in a 109 probably because the stacks are down at your feet.

I think the bottom line is that it CAN be done,examples enough,so there is just no excuse..........other then it didn't have their full attention,sorry.

The problem most of you don't see is that professional sound capturing for a business project costs sh*tloads of money. First you need to have the sound equipment (which isn't cheap to begin with), then you need people who own the original engines and are willing to run them in the capturing setup across the whole performance band (which is unlikely today due to the rarity of these engines) and then you need to get your people to the aircraft in question (which are, inconveniently, spread across the globe) ... All of that will surely cost a 6-digit sum which is probably the same amount of money which using other people's sound samples will cost.

It's not just a question of getting "better" sound samples. It's all about logistics and money ...

Regardless of all the mumbo jumbo , its just no longer acceptable , the porked mod sites and huge downloads of sound packs is proof enough , internal sounds remind me of FS and the externals are at least on the fighters the same(and yes I have the game already) as of old.

Chivas, external engine sounds are clearly just a slight better than stock IL2. But I agree with you, once I try them on MY PC I will make a final judgement....altough, internal engine sounds are awesome...modded external sounds in IL2 are fantastic. Dunno why they cant be used in COD. Ofcourse will be with MOD ON but why not in official version of the game. Now in IL2 with mods I can clearly distinguish who is flyin near me just by engine sound...its very cool isnt it?
