4.09 Sugestion: FM locked and sound open.

[Krt_Bong]

I really wished that whoever created the sound mod had left the um flyables with crudely connected cockpits out, that being said I have saved the mod to play offline and am seeing a whole new side to this sim. I can only hope that with Olegs' time being understandably short, that he can make SOW somewhat more realistic in sounds in some way similar to this hack as it were which does have some shortcomings that I'm now starting to pick out. But at the same time as it is its rather nice, at least on my machine with my now old creative Live soundcard. I don't support hacking the game to cheat others online don't get me wrong, we don't want that but I do like personal mods to appearance and sounds. I've got custom splashes, when I play campaigns I hear appropriate WWII era music etc..Too bad that sopme people will never be satisfied with making a game more enjoyable by ambiance they have to cheat as well.

Well see everybody has his cup of tea. I hope Oleg doesn´t take away my Hawk 75 with 4.09. Of course I understand i fhi locks teh thing up. But I prefer to have a flyable Hawk 75 with an ockward cockpit, than not having it at all. Speically when it was teh palne my country flew until we got the Centauros, and the Metheors.


And we have moded the "Skin" of the Ilustrious to resemble the ARA Independencia. And to have our own carrier looking as it should, is priceless. It might even mean not switching to 4.09 if it gets locked...

There are some version switchers out there and if you have HD space you can always install 2 versions of the game, one online conformant and the other for playing offline with modded content. I can see that some movie makers out there might like the ability to use some of the modded AI planes to include in their production but really no-one wants a Storch with a P-39 cockpit

Anyone fired Hs-129 gun yet?

We need patch 4.09 now !!

there has been over 400 downloads of the sound mod and many hosts are now running with checkruntime=2 to stop hacked SFS files.

some think it is ok to have Checkruntime=1 but as a previous post indicated ,in full real this is a problem as they can use sounds to detect enemy planes

Correct, 4000 already.

Legalize sound mod . . . . . one of the best patches.
It´s like a new game now and now we can wait for BoB a next few months.
Many hosts are running WITHOUT checkruntime=2 because most of pilots knows, that it´s better with sound mod (no sonar effects - more reality) and they are using this sounds.
I´m sorry . . . but this is true - not some screams from kid players and no cockpit arcade shooters.

Clear 6-4 all.

Yeah, well, as you undoubtedly understand there's NO WAY to separate the good from the bad after a game gets cracked, and once that has happened there're always a**holes who WILL cheat. So I'll just continue to host my games w/ CRT=2 and keep on hoping that's enough...

You, OTOH, do just as you please.

What about: take new sounds into patch 4.09 and re-lock rest of SFS´s ?
