Forgotten Battles Gold Pack

Man, I wish the old IL-2 Sturmovik site was still up and running...

I'd appreciate the help, I can provide more info if need be. Sound is an important factor to me and adds to the overall experience.

I'm using DirectX 9.0c and it's latest update release.

You mean this site?

You really should have gotten 1946... It's your money... but the Gold pack is in 46.. That's why everyone was telling you to get 46..

1946 is

Forgotten Battles
The Aces Expansion
Pacific Fighters
Pe-2
Sturmoviks Over manchuria
and 46..

The Gold pack is just the first two. Forgotten Battles 2.0 .... You wont even get all the great Pacific content from Forgotten Battles 3.0 (FB+AEP+PF) like the carriers and the Zekes, Tonys & Oscars... (I'm just sayin.. with a name and an Avatar that's a Corsair... ) did I say carriers..?

and even if you only flew offline.... your offline experience would be GREATLY enhanced by having the options that are available to you only with 46... Just in terms of gameplay improvements between FB 2.0 and FB 4.07...... 46 is a no brainer. It is what my son's math teacher calls... "a gimme"

Hey, thanks for the link!, I thought it was gone. The old page should redirect to the new address.

As for 1946, I've already explained why I didn't get it, in an earlier post, in this thread.

I can hear the sounds when I switch the sample rate to 44100 (not all), anything less and the sound is lacking. I still don't hear flak shells fly through the air like in the original. The Flak sound is differnet from the one in IL-2. Also, I still don't hear rockets being fired, but I hear things like the brakes and flaps.
In external view I can hear bullets and shells being fired from other planes including my own, but half-tracks firing at me I don't hear (wierd).

Is it normal to be able hear machine guns being fired over the radio from other friendly planes?, (this is new).

I believe you can tweak that somewhat.. go to the UBI community help site.. I'm on my way out the door.. but if you can run FB GOLD you can run 46... and be prepared for that a lot..
