Well said (ironic time you posted this mate)

Any film maker will agree that good audio is actually more important than good video. When the picture suddenly goes out on your TV you usually hold off a bit from changing the channel if you can still hear what's going on. However, when the sound goes off -- even with the picture going -- the channel usually gets flipped immediately. In a flight sim, both video and audio are important. Audio is not LESS important.

I'm probably the only one here who has two buttons programmed on my throttle - one for external, one for flyby. For me the only sound that beats my stroked Harley is a Merlin engine in full cry. Jafa nailed the external sound; the flyby is darn close. Online I'm in the cockpit 100% (usually no choice, anyway! ;) ), offline I go external and flyby a LOT, maybe even TONS!!! :)

I prefer the pre-patch Merlin cockpit sounds simply because I can no longer easily tell the rpm in the 2600-2900 range by sound.

The first time I heard Jafa's Merlin I thought that is it,that is dam well it!!!,the sim for me,personally came alive on that day,I have never forgotten that.

Whilst I can't deny the devs have done an outstanding job on the sounds,and I love the new 109 sounds,they are just superb,for me Jafa's Merlin still reigns supreme,those flybys,oh man,just incredible.

Early war Merlins have a different sound to late war merlins.

Basically, you may appreciate nice fly by only if you are sitting on the runway with your engine off and conopy open. How many of us do that? And if yes, how often? The important sounds are the ones you hear from the cockpit. We should seek top fidelity there. External sounds are more for movie makers than for virtual pilots.

I don't know the limitations / priorities of IL-2 1C team, but fly bys would be on the bottom of my list. Cockpit sounds on the very top, on the other hand.

My 2 cents.

Right now we're not getting a very good facsimile of either when in fly-by mode.
