Please Oleg, improve the sounds !

You Oleg and team have all my respect and admiration for your kind work, but please, improve some of the sounds that aren't decent comparing in all the wonderful work you did with ClOD.

Even 3rd parties did a lot better in Il-2 ! For instance :

At this moment, some videos show us that we can start a V12 exactly as we start our cars' 1L 4 cylinders... or even a lawn mower ! It's really a shame.

Exterior sounds simply are exactly the same ones as in the stock Il-2, from about 10 years now !... Unbelievable !

Sounds are very important in a simulation, so please, improve all this stuff as quick as possible ! (before clouds, and even dynamic campaign..)

I know we are a lot to think what is said here. This criticism isn't a bad thing, but wants to simply be constructive, in order to get the best that we wait for...

Regards,
Solmyr.

How many new posts and threads about this topic do we really need?

As long as the devs don't get it, we still need more.

Sounds are the least of their problems just now...
Personally,I can live with them,while they sort the rest of the game.

Don't care much about external sounds, I only get to listen to them in tracks. Thank god the in cockpit sounds are good. If i had to choose between better external sounds and better frame rate i'd go for the latter.

BTW is the sonar finally gone? You know, the ability to hear approaching planes while in the cockpit. That is a huge pain in the ass with IL2FB.

While Jafa's sounds are generally nice, in some situations they unfortunately have the strange effect of sounding like someone who is blowing a raspberry.

To be honest, I rather like stock Il-2 sounds, but I guess it depends on the sound card or speakers?

But I would hold back any comments on CoD sounds for now. I doubt they're final or are just buggy (sound in outside view is the same regardless of viewing position, which is strange considering that this is not the case in Il-2:'46)

I think it is the publisher to be blamed, it seems that ubicrap is only collecting money from sales, but have contributed a horse's figue to the development...

I never heared them better than in Jane's WWII fighters!
And how many years ago is that?
I think (external) sounds are very important,it's a SIM after all!
If you've ever been to an airshow you know that every warbird has it's own destinctive sound,it all add's to the reality feel.....exactly what a sim should do!

It has to be said that the modded IL2 sounds do knock the spots off the CLOD sounds at the moment. Im sure Oleg could borrow some easily enough.

How hard is it to send out 1 or 2 man with soundrecording equipment and record them from the source itself,i think that's what A2A simulations did?
If third party modders can find them what's the problem?
