Placeholders or bugged in my opinion, some of the internal sounds are great.

Well, there you have it, guys...The full range of opinions on the sounds in Il-2/CloD. I'm not sure about the "placeholder" argument (unless that was posted by one of the devs (link please, if so)). Maddox Games' track record WRT SOUNDS is not great, IMHO, they seem either unable or unwilling to make the sounds as awesome as they can be. Hopefully the push to have user-made sound packs accepted as allowable mod content will be successful and someone like Jafa or Tiger33 should be able to port their awesome sounds over to CloD without too much trouble.

Ofcourse we have placeholders. How would you otherwise explain stock IL-2 external sounds?

Disappointing...after all the grief they got in the last series, I was expecting special attention applied to the sound engine.:confused:

It certainly seems that way :confused:. What I was looking for was a link to an actual quote from Luthier or one of the other devs, stating that they intend to replace the current placeholders with better sounds. I heard the placeholder thing a lot recently, but I don't remember seeing any official word on it.

Thx but no thx, if i want synthesized sounds ill do them myselfe. Making it sound like a bee on steroids is not the way i would go however.

Yeah, did a small search but I found nothing. The noob(lol) sounds does indicate that the game was rushed and they just had to slap some sounds in there. Better to have some sound than nothing at all. That's my only theory. I think I heard somewhere that Oleg did mention that they were placeholders but I'd have to read through every interview with him then.

externaly at least this is what a DB605 should sound like - can't believe the 601 is much different - where is the missing whine ? I'm sure even early il2 in 2001 sounded more like this:

the sounds are terrible. the merlin sounds like a two stroke lawnmower.

please developers - for the love of god - use jafa's sound mods.

To put it bluntly without swearing does anyone know what a prop-plane sounds like in a steep dive they must revise the sounds or open that section for modding as is its just plain stupid,dumb,lame,pants.....
