Sound Mods

Take a 110 for a ride, start a long, shallow glide from 3km or so of altitude, pull power to idle and lower pitch as far as it goes, then push it back up. Repeat a few time, letting the propeller angle settle before you change it again and you'll see exactly what i mean.

It's like the engines are talking to me and once i get used to (or reminded of, during cruise to the target) how a certain RPM range sounds i can work that manual prop pitch without ever looking at the gauges again for the duration of the mission.

Anything less than dynamic sounds with similar abilities is probably something that i wouldn't use, regardless of how much better they might sound.

+1...looking forward to that possibility

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about as far as this sim goes, the cost of "correct" sounds and the involvement in getting the high quality recordings necessary is extremely expensive.

Oleg has already commented on this problem.

The current batch of IL2 1946 sound mods breach so many copyrights its not even funny, also they sound terrible if listened to on high end audio cards.

Most use onboard sound and rather than improve their hardware expect the developer to spend hundreds of thousands on aircraft engine audio recordings, rather than make the best use of the sound generator as was the case in IL2 1946.

I grant the flyby's and some effects were a welcome change in some cases but the online integrity "anti cheat" was lost when these "MOD packs" were used.

I would expect this to be the case for CoD also, offline sounds and online secure sound engine generator, or in the future host/server selectable mod switches for sounds/maps/aircraft etc etc.

The way forwards at present is to keep the sim on on single playing field so everyone's versions are compatible as it was with the original Il2 Shturmovik.
Back then it was a relief to have all the whole thing on one disc and simply install and fly.

I hope CoD stays unmodded for at least a year till everything settles into a stable platform to develop from.

You just need to use link from original site, not the translated one.

Edit; Ehrm, will the Soundmod using Kegetys.dll be allowed online?
