@MD_Titus: I agree that the quality is not uniform across each sound mod (I think this is true of all mods). This is partly why I proposed a vetting process for any new sounds coming into the sim. Any sounds that are awesome and will add much to the simming experience will be incorporated while, the lower quality samples could be rejected in favour of the stock sounds until a better sound can be made.
You may be right about system resource usage in sound mods that contain additional flypast programming (which sounds phenomenal, btw) such as the Tiger33 mod. Perhaps this could be implemented as a toggleable option in the sound setup screen (it is certainly worth adding for those with faster machines).
I also agree that replacing all sounds accurately in IL-2 is an immense task. I suggest replacing them piece by piece rather than a wholesale conversion to Jafa or Tiger33. This way we can have the vetting process take place over a long period of time without unduly straining the resources of a small development team. This would be the only way to maintain quality control and get patches released in a timely fashion, IMHO.
@El Aurens & Bf-110: The answer to recording loud cockpit sounds is here (we could probably use attenuators,if needed):
