Luthier - please consider using Jafa's sound mods

[ATAG_Doc]

Indeed these sounds are spot on.

It's amazing that Luthier has never commented on the sound. Many, many posts and not a peep.

Why should he?

To me it is not amazing at all. What amazes me is that people keep ignoring the fact that the current sound is not final so there will be a new sound coming from the developpers anyhow, that in the future players will be able to mod their game so using any fancy sound files will be possible without passing by the devs and that very likely the sounds developped by somebody who is no expert of the game engine and has not the slightest insight into it and despite his competences may just be not good for a game feature with the dev stamp on it.

We have been over this a million times.

A publisher that is in business for a profit, must have permission of the actual copyright holders to use their content, be that visual or sonic. If they don't have this permission they are open to legal actions against them.

Jafa has never once revealed his sources for the sounds in his mods. When asked he immediately goes defensive and starts to deflect the questions, or simply drops out of the conversation.

One can only conclude that he has ripped these original sound files from copyrighted sources, most likely one of Microsoft's flight sims, and is using them illegally. Not really a big deal for private modders as they are so far under the radar no one will notice. But if a large, global publisher like 1C or UBI does it, then the lawyers will take action.

End of thread.

Ha-ha-ha, dream on. This has been debated over'n over again and that since the original il-2 Sturmovik series (which by the way had reasonable sounds compared to CloD)...
