Thats the point they are not from his "area"...

Thanks Jason!

I also want to say that it's baffling to me that the community is split up into camps - RoF here, Birds of Prey there, BoB there. Flight sim fans are a very tiny community now, and fragmenting and wishing each other harm is completely insane.

I see no reason why enjoying product A should prevent you from enjoying product B. We're not in a competition. On the contrary, we need each other to keep the genre alive.

The fact is, it's just a few morons on all sides that are stirring things up for the rest of us. I'm sure 99% of the rest of the community has no ill feelings towards each other. We just need to learn to ignore the trolls and work hard to keep them out.

The whole thing has left me speechless. If you have three people you can start a war!
I loved IL2, I love RoF and I'm sure I'll love CoD!

Well said Jason.ROF looks like a well developed and complex sim which I will buy pretty soon regardless of how much I will like/dislike COD.Its good to have you around and knowing how you feel about the whole genre.And thanks for the clarifications...I told you guys those videos looked fishy

@ Luthier:

Did you really use the old '46 sounds for the new one?

Of course not. Actually, the only old sample that made it into Bob is the the "click" sound of operating a cockpit switch.

Engine sounds were all recorded fresh this summer.

If people persist, we can post old and new samples side by side.

Yes, please. So the sound of the Bf-109 in the Vaal87 youtube videos this thread is actually about are not the ones that are in the game? (hopefully)

Umm the sounds in BoB are quite different from those in Il-2, but I doubt Vaal actually edited the videos and changed the sounds so you probably are hearing sounds from BoB.

We couldn't record a real DB 601 though. We recorded some similar Russian engines, as we did for the original Il-2, which is why they probably sound similar. I just watched a couple of Vaal videos and launched Il-2 alongside. The Emil in Il-2 sounds a lot different.

Which IL-2 sounds different to Vaal's videos? Cliffs of Dover or '46?

A video with outside and inside sound would do it all for us thousands worrying about the sound in these videos.
