EDIT: 01/01/12
Happy new year all!
Thanks to the herculean efforts of the mod community here (particularly Sanka and co for re-creating Plutonium for 4.101) my previous mod compilations are obsolete!
So I put some new stuff together. I have not found any conflicts in these packs, as all the classfiles are happily 4.101 compliant now. Of course if you have a conflict let me know and we'll work to sort it out.
First the additional effects I use with Plutonium 4.10.1
With this download you will get a file named "Plutonium effects-Additions (01-01-12)" All you have to do is make sure it loads BEFORE Plutonium effects, which of course should already be in your mod folder.
Simple as that.
https://www.mediafire.com/?t6ejb3e3how28r1This one is my baby. Its always changing so what it is today will probably be reworked tomorrow!
My sound compilation with the same modders sounds as before, but with further editing on my part. In particular I tried to give each of the major weapons the correct rate of fire, as some of the sounds did not match up with the historical numbers. I also tweaked the sounds of most of the major engines in game according to things like horsepower, compression ratio, and displacement to give them each a (subtly) different volume. Merlins are very quiet, R-2800's aren't lol!
Somehow in this pack I managed to change something that to me has gone a long way toward curtailing the sonar effect we get in game. For me the only time I can hear an enemy aircraft is when I'm very, very close or looking right at it. Aircraft in my formation are there only as a low rumble depending on the type.
In the pursuit of realism you may find that the cockpit engine noise is quite loud, to the point that it drowns out most other sounds. You will also find that weapons fire is much, much quieter now. Small caliber weapons like MG17's will be very quiet from the seat of your 109, and whats more the Browning .303's shooting towards you from that Hurricane on your 6 will be totally inaudible at all but the closest range. The sounds are there, I assure you, but there are bigger things in your world drowning them out (like the DB600 sitting in your lap!)
These edits are a ham-fisted attempt by me to improve upon the already wonderful work of Jaffa, Jiver67, FLy! and others. My thanks to them!
These sounds have been assembled by a habitual 109 driver that is not in the least interested in the Pacific war, Japanese or Russian aircraft. Hence there have been very few changes that will effect them here. If you have a suggestion for them please by all means post it. Id love to make this more complete but simply cannot of my own accord summon enough interest to work on these aircraft! If you've got a bright Idea though I will be happy to include it for the greater good...even those seedy types that like naval aviation
https://www.mediafire.com/?gh5twhiuoj723pv This contains the work of many talented sound modders, and in my opinion gives an outstanding
representation of true to life weapon sounds. But truley the excellence of these mods speak for
themselvs. Thanks go to the creators.
