Better RAF Voices

I did the same conversion and have audible voices for RAF, e.g. "Bug out, behind you".
Same for German voices, audible - but intelligible, as expected. e.g "In postione, *****!"

The only drawnback is the free converter allow convert only 5 files per time.

In my view, this voice pack has actually upgraded the sim for me.

The old stock voices were driving me bonkers.

Well I managed to extract the speech files from my installed EAW, but can't get them to play for the life of me (let alone convert them to another kind of file).

They're ".SND" files, and I tried a few different converters over the last few hours with no luck (including dBpoweramp).

There are about 800-900 files each for the US, UK, and Germany.

I also found and installed that 'great shot' campaign, which has over 500 additional UK files. Unfortunately, they're .SND files also, which is a particular bummer as I remember that addon really having some great immersive radio chatter.

The files are small, so if anyone would like to take a crack I could always email them.

You try with the program (Switch Sound File Converter) linked Feathered_IV few posts bellow?

I was able to convert the .SFS files - donwloaded EAWSSS - to .OGG per F'_IV instructions.

thanks! I can't believe I missed that post. Just tried converting one using his instructions and it worked.

Well I listened to a bunch of the UK files from that EAW campaign and they're really great.

Converting them 5 at a time would be quite a chore (there are 576 of them) but what's more daunting is that they're named 'UK3_011, UK3_12, etc' so I'm guessing you'd have to listen to all of them, then rename each file with the text of the speech from Cliffs that it's replacing? Seems like there are wingman voices so that's another aspect as well....

Glad you got them extracted. The first hundred or so are all spoken coordinates and such. The sort of things that have driven us batty in clod, so there's not much call to use them. The end of each list of samples has most of the good stuff.

I find it's handy to change the name of each file as you listen to it to reflect its contents. "UK3_80 break right" for example. That way you can easily find what you're looking for later in any language.

Cool, thanks Feathered.

Hello Feathered and everyone. It really pleases me to see these old voice files still being used. I've been away from simming for years and just got a PC update that's enabled me to play CLOD. I must say theses sound files work really well. My only discrepancy is that some of them are No 609 Sqn specific but it still lends atmosphere.

Cheers!
