Hello,
The sound scheme in IL-2 has been discussed before. The community is clearly divided between the two camps of "modded sounds or bust" or "there is no subsitiute for stock sounds". My lengthy participation in these discussions has led me to believe that these two camps cannot be reconciled. I know the stock sounds are still one of the biggest reasons many people turn to the mods. The solution for the problem is to make the sound scheme selectable by the user. I understand the concerns about cheating and I think the way forward is for DT to come up with a sound scheme format that the makers of the various sound mods could conform to. These sound makers could then submit their new sounds in said format to DT for inclusion in the next patch. Then, in the sound setup menu, you could have a drop-down menu where the user could select the sound scheme that best suits their preference (stock, Jafa, Tiger33, etc). This way, sound schemes can be selected by the user (satisfying everyone's beef with the stock sounds one way or another) and game integrity is not compromised because the various sound schemes are locked up in the closed architecture of the game.
Just a thought,
