Default Engine sounds are disappointing

This is really disappointing. Where is my distinctive Merlin and Daimler Benz engine sounds? I would rather have less buildings, trees etc than have the same poor generic synthesized sounds we have now..

Very, Very disappointing.

Sound is also part of the emmersion, not only graphics.

I can hardly even hear if I am accellerating...

Anyway..had to get it out of my system.

If someone can tell me about where the sounds are located and how to get at them I can take a look at improving them.

I agree (I've always been disappointed in the original IL-2's stock sounds as well). Unfortunately, there is a portion of the CloD/IL-2 community that seems to be happy with the sounds in both games. My conclusion over the years is that you cannot reconcile the stock sound purists and those like you and me who desire better sound samples in these games. The current hope for CloD is that the soon-to-be-released Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to make alternative sound packs to replace the stock sounds. I believe I have already seen a video of the CloD Hurricane with a set of experimental sounds from Jafa (of IL-2 sound-modding fame), so I think there is hope. A number of us have also been requesting alternative sound pack support for the original Il-2 from DT.

Cheers,

Well as you shared a fact in the thread, here's my turn:

"Maddox games know they suck, these sounds are placeholders!"

I agree with Senator Strike...

I think they are placeholders. The inside sounds are better than outside but they are all about the same regardless of what you are flying. Here's what I think...when the U.S. version is released, it will be VERY polished and different game compared to what we've been playing. It has to be. If not, the game is sunk and will probably kill the category for Maddox just like CFS3 killed WW2 sims for MS which would be very

I've been playing IL2 since the original demo and I can say without hesitation that that is in fact not way a Mosquito sounds, at all !!! Just fire up 1946 and, oh, what's the word?... LISTEN!

Leave the sounds alone! I won't hear any more of this nonsense! LALALLALALLAALA



have a nice day.
