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 .

Ahh. I suppose there would be some problems... I wasn't suggesting opening up the sound engine per se. I was merely suggesting the creation of a new location for non-default wave files that the sound engine could be made to look for (maybe a switch in the sound setup for default or user-defined .wavs?). Naturally, security for online play should be paramount.

As for the quality of the modded sounds, could that not be the choice of the user? Right now I could make a real crappy skin for my Hellcat with the logo of Northrop Grumman lifted right from their website (just to spite them) and play with that. I know some people are devotees of the stock sounds (which is great, you are already happy) but many of us would like to be able to use Jafa, Tiger33, etc in our stock install. There is a reason that the first mod was soundmod.
