Engine sounds are disappointing

[raaaid]

you should try a subwoofer

actually the winds so scarry i wouldnt mind turning it off

I could care less what the planes sound like in external view (excepting, of course, the sounds of other planes as they fly close to mine). The sound from my cockpit however is very important, and CoD fails very badly on that score. The engines sound like a car's and the lack of wind-noise AND engine-noise variation/volume, especially with the cockpit opened and then leaning my head out of it, make a travesty of the sound-coder's work. In flight, canopy closed, headphone's on, the sound should be rather muted (single-engine fighter). But it should be a beast of a noise, sat between a pair of DB601s (Me110). Canopy open...come on.

Has ANYONE flown any of the featured planes at 10,000 feet? Using 1940 fuel? Whilst wearing a leather helmet?.. etc etc..

I'll answer my own question with a fair amount of certainty...NO.

I have no idea if the sounds are correct, they certainly sound good to me when i'm flying with my 5.1 headset turn up loud!

Youtube clips are not worthy of real critique. 99% of the 'realism' complaints on these forums have zero evidential backing. People are too used to movie effects which are comical. Real life is a lot duller!

LoL...dude get your tongue out of 1c's backside, because I can't understand what you're saying

I've heard real Spits and I don't think I'm alone with that.

i have had a thought.

Possibly 1C have left the sounds for us to mod. Clearly its a hot topic. and given the inevitable occurances where modding is concerned. why not just leave it to the community.

Ali, with that in mind, why not leave the community to do everything? because form looking at the mods for Il-2, nearly every aspect of the game can be improved....

honestly, until Luthier says something, we will never know. Either a lot of the features are placeholders, or they have really just given us a poor product which needs a lot of work.

They're working flat out at the moment, so I don't know if we'll get an official statement, but here's to hoping we will.

CFS2 enthusiasts have uploaded over time most of the original engine sounds for almost all the WW2 military planes.
