The problem with implementing this is the afore-mentioned copyright and authenticity concerns (when adding community-made sound mods) and the large amount of work involved (if making a new, compliant sound mod) for a team with limited resources. I'm eternally optimistic and I think we'll see some movement on this at some point. I really like Azimech's suggestion. Instead of DT having to research & produce a new sound mod (or get permissions for the whole array of sounds from a community-made mod) they would need to adjust the structure of IL-2's sound sample storage in such a way that they could easily be replaced en-mass (they might even be able to insert some sort of doppler fly-by support). Sounds could be made accessible in the same way that aircraft skins are accessible currently. I remember hearing one of the DT members (Caspar or CsThor maybe??) saying that DT doesn't have a lot of expertise in sound production (perhaps this has changed?) but they do have expertise in coding and they have access to the dev tools. In my uninformed view, Azimech's solution plays to both DT's strengths in coding and game asset management and also to those of the community sound gurus like Jafa or Tiger33. I'd be very interested to hear what DT thinks of this.

The IL2 sound engine was created and made secure after some hacking a while back, its not as simple as messing with some sound samples, online security for sound hacks was a big problem and still is in modded IL2 versions.


When these sound samples from mod compilers are looked at they are simplistic and poor quality samples in most cases, I have heard nothing from any of them that sound as dynamic as the default IL2 1946 sound engine with my sound set up, not onboard sound and desktop speakers either, its been said before that a lot blame the poor IL2 sound engine when listening to it with low quality audio components.

To be able to record at the correct quality and dynamic range of all the required engines for IL2 would be a task to far I think .
