Sound Engine For SOW

Onboard sound was also poor back then and Soundcards were the optimum way for getting the best sound out of IL2.

Im sure that SoW will have Secure sound management, and with the better onboard sound that's around now there will be less complaints.

am talking about external tones... in how to capture them ingame to a realistic standard.

thats what i mean when you key stroke a flyby view it should play in timing with the camera a audio flyby sample.
only effective way really. trying to emulate it with code parameters i think wont work as effective.

many dev companies fail in good audio , having great graphics , sadly leave the audio to the last min.

The Il-2 Sound Engine is great. The Problem is rather the lack of different engine sounds. Actually I prefer the original Sound over the mods Sound by a very big margin. Just because it IS better, even with lots of planes having the same sound.

If you watch the bonus DVD, the team can be seen collecting sound's from aircraft...I'm certain that SOW sounds will be steller, if only because of FB sound's poor reception by most, and Oleg's resolve to get it right for those that were unsatisfied

UltraPack 2 does a damn good job at making the sounds more realistic IMO. The in-game 109 sounds pretty similar to the one in that vid. You also have the difference between cockpit and external sounds.

EDIT: wring board. sorry
