Or a thousand bucks. Or free, like RoF -- which have excellent engine sounds. The Merlin sounds in Cliffs of Dover are not amazing. They don't even sound like Merlins. Earlier sims reproduced the iconic Merlin engine sounds very well -- Jane's World War Two Fighters which came out at the turn of the century, for example.

We're not asking for insane quality, but if you're going to do something, then it should be done right. Some of us have been anticipating this sim for over seven years, and The Battle of Britain is near and dear to our hearts. It was the sound of Merlin engines overhead that gave hope to the Brits down below that a handful of pilots -- "The Few" -- were keeping the Nazi jackboots from marching up Whitehall. What I honestly believe is that the 1C devs do not understand that, as well as many fellow forum members here that have no emotional roots in the significance of that 1940 turning point in history.

The only way I can make a comparison is listening to Roseanne Barr singing your favourite song on karaoke night. Well, maybe not that bad -- but close!
