Jafa Film & Audio.

They do sound very good, but I am very much curious as to what flight model modifications have to do with a soundmod? Their presence alone and the stuff they modify (I'll keep my speculations to myself to avoid a flamefest) makes me wary of ulterior motives ... Can anyone explain why fmd files need to be modified to make use of different sounds?

[Gerfaut]

The reason why is that there's a direct reference to engine sound file within the .emd file.
So you currently MUST modify the .emd file for implementing or tweaking a sound filename (which IMHO is a poor implementation choice, since FM-related files shouldn't be concerned by potential sound mods).

It's that simple...

As has been said - parts of the god files had to be altered just to implement the daimler sound , the only other thing that was touched was the engine revs on the daimler as when the new sounds were introduced there were some initial rev problems , unfortunately the altered emd went out and needs to be replaced , thats all , no ulterior motive , nothing sinister , probably wont be enough though will it , never is here.

Problem is that slashing off a good 600rpm off the DB 610 rpm band makes my danger sense tingle. That is a problematic change and I have already seen some "WTF?" comments on other boards about that.

PS: On the german UBI board people removed the fmd files without a problem. Before came complaints about a 109 "wallowing like a pig in warm mud".

Can you not read what I just wrote or do you intend to just keep going on about it.

[csThor]

Just saying as it is. No hard feelings, no "ulterior motive" on my part.

*.fmd (flightmodel )files are not needed for soundmod, EXCEPT u changing the engines for the plane...
link to the *.prs (sounddata) files for the engine sound, are in the *.emd (Engine data )file
