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.

RR not the risk but rather whoever took the recording.

The sounds are acceptable but not good inside the cocpit. External sounds are utter rubbish. Have you guys flown modded IL2, or the A2A addon planes for FSX? I think the sounds we have are placeholders, at least I hope so.

However the MG sounds are good IMO. Geoffrey Wellum described the sound of the 303-s as "like tearing calico". I think it's pretty close to that, at least this is how I imagined it.

hmm what I don't understand about the latter half of this thread:
Are you talking about the engine sound itself being copyrighted? Or is it about recorded samples taken from some source?
To put it another way: If I go to an airfield with my recording equipment and record some samples, then put it into some mods... that's not illegal, right?
