that still send quivers down my spine

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.

Placeholders or bugged in my opinion, some of the internal sounds are great.

Well, there you have it, guys...The full range of opinions on the sounds in Il-2/CloD. I'm not sure about the "placeholder" argument (unless that was posted by one of the devs (link please, if so)). Maddox Games' track record WRT SOUNDS is not great, IMHO, they seem either unable or unwilling to make the sounds as awesome as they can be. Hopefully the push to have user-made sound packs accepted as allowable mod content will be successful and someone like Jafa or Tiger33 should be able to port their awesome sounds over to CloD without too much trouble.

Ofcourse we have placeholders. How would you otherwise explain stock IL-2 external sounds?

It certainly seems that way . What I was looking for was a link to an actual quote from Luthier or one of the other devs, stating that they intend to replace the current placeholders with better sounds. I heard the placeholder thing a lot recently, but I don't remember seeing any official word on it.

Yeah, did a small search but I found nothing. The noob(lol) sounds does indicate that the game was rushed and they just had to slap some sounds in there. Better to have some sound than nothing at all. That's my only theory. I think I heard somewhere that Oleg did mention that they were placeholders but I'd have to read through every interview with him then.

Disappointing! Dis-a-bloody-pointing! that noise emanating from the Spitfire is a damn travesty. I can forgive almost all the problems, $hit happens but the engines, no, no, no NO.
