To be honest the original IL2 sounds work better on my system than the 1946 ones. As far as 4.09 is concerned the 4.09 sound DLL's do not work at all with my older Athlon and I needed to put the 4.07 DLL back.
In terms of meeting user expectations ... the tricky bit is most users expect the same sounds they hear during a flypast at an air show. The sounds inside a cockpit are quite different to the sounds an observer on the ground hears.
In players expect to hear the same sounds they hear in movies or at air shows (the distinctive growl and whistle of a DB flying past for example) they are bound to be disappointed.
