Did the Hurricanes even use griffon engines? I don't think they ever did.

Hey, if 1C can fit diesel engines into our Spits and Hurries, why not a Griffon in a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Hurricane IIc? LOL

EDIT: clarification - when flying in CoD the sound of a Spit or Hurri alongside me sounded vaguely familiar.....and then it hit me. Sounds almost identical to an 18-wheeler's diesel engine beside me on the 401 when I'm cruisin' on my Hog! Conclusion: 1C shoehorned a flippin' diesel engine into our beloved Spits 'n Hurries!!!! LOL

Ha!

I need to stop coming on here during the work day. All I want to do now is get back up in the skies and I've got 7 more hours to go.

Uuuuughhh....

Hurricanes never had griffons and spitfires only got them from Mk12 on

No diesels, then?

Nope....but German bombers had diesels, I have no idea what they used to create the merlin sounds, I guess it's just too hard to synthesize the pure music of a merlin

BS...tell Luthier to make the Hurricane fly-by sound just like that.

Seriously, I didn't know the Axis used diesels in bombers. I imagine, back in the day, they would've been fun to start in the winter -- although obviously they had that figured out only too well.

I'm puzzled that the 1C devs goofed up on the Merlin sounds, since Jafa's came so close to the external (F2 key) and, although not quite there, distinctly better than 1C on the flyby sound (F3 key):

(and this mod was released by Jafa over 9 months ago soon after CoD's release!!!)

I don't think they really got used by the beginning of the of war.

anyway we'll have to see whether the patch brings something to the sounds, at least the improved the sound engine (didn't they say more was to come?)

My god, you're right! I was checking my five o'clock this morning on the commute because I thought I'd picked up a wingman.

I hereby launch the Cliffs of Dover PMS Group! The Proper Merlin Sounds Group.

How come those ruddy blue pilots get a lovely sounding DB engine and we get a transport truck?

PMS? Love it! Make me a charter member!

I can live with a wimpy Spit Ia, I can deal with a reversed-animation Spitfire mixture lever, but a diesel engine under the cowling????? NEVER!!!

(Sorry, was having a Jafa Sound Mod - moment.......)
