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.

well, you can definitely hear a flyby sound when you get jumped by another plane, and this is in real life too.

I think the truth is that for years they didn't bother about fixing the sounds simply cos it wasn't a priority to them. Let's be frank, IL-2 interface and attention to details has never been one meant for immersion like you had in all the other games.. The whole IL-2 saga can kind of be regarded as a never ending beta really.

+1

It would be interesting to see how many of the people supporting the sound mod have actually sat in a merlin engined aircraft with the engine turned on, let alone running up to full power?

I doubt it would be many.

By all means make it sound good, but it doesn't mean its realistic.

You do realise this thread is two years old.

To get the sound files try the IL-2 mods.

Quality always shines through - and as for distance sound modding , myself and others have been doing that to Il2 for a long time now , but overall its just nice to see the audio side been given some attention by a developer , lets just hope that luthier has the forsight to open everything up to the community as a whole cos there are some top notch people out there , corse - that all depends on weather they can get the basic engine off the ground.

Their cockpit sound of the 109 is very good.
