Imperial Grunt Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Gents, I've recently tried AKD's sounds mod and Vien's SFX mod and I'm very impressed. Those mods add a lot to the game. I was wondering if anyone ever thought of making an aircraft sound mod. The missile launches, rocket runs, and gun runs could be vastly improved. Also it would be really cool if there were different sounds for different aircraft, ie.. a Mi-24 Hind should sound different from an AH-64 Apache. A F-16 Falcon should sound different from a SU-25 Frogfoot. Is that possible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 What Mord said in the other post. Im sure we will se a mod for aircraft etc soon. There was for CMSF and they where great. Waclaw has a mod in the works, sure it will hold what you seek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) EDITED: I was able to save it. This is what I wrote: Not really. The sounds are all labeled the same with a number after them which makes them random (Ex. helicopter 1, helicopter 2 etc. ). You could technically load up just a Hind sound file for all the helicopters if that's the helo support you picked for a scenario, but if the AI or your opponent has helos in their force selection you'll hear the same thing for them. A scenario designer could do a mod tag for a specialized battle, say, but still the opfor would not be able to have that particular aircraft (jet or copter) in their arsenal without the sfx being shared.

Imperial Grunt Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ok, got it. Thank you for the explanation. Perhaps one day there will be different sounds for aircraft as there are for vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Even with the vehicles it's hit and miss. The engine idles are all shared, and certain movement engine sounds get shared. Not that big of a deal until you start modding them with particular ideas in mind. It'll get worse though once they start adding other nations. You'll see what I mean pretty soon. I am working on something as I write that will highlight my point. Mord. Edited February 4, 2015 by Mord 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 There's the same problem with tank engines, you can't tailor the sound to the single tank type, and that's a pity, since you could manage to get a lot of real sounds. There are some exception, such as the Abrams, which has its own turbine sound. But, for example, the engine sound I managed to get for the T-64, which is the real deal, will be used also by the Bradley... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Eddie- Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 How did it work in CMSF then? I'm sure I used sound mods to change the engine noises of almost every vehicle, including all the add-on packs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Also the challenger and leopard2 had their own sound files iirc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I used sound mods to change the engine noises of almost every vehicle, including all the add-on packs. Depends on the vehicle...most had their own sounds, some were shared with Syria. ALL engine idle sounds were shared across the nations. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure about this? I have been messing with the files all day and the T-64 is using the mod I made and the Brad is using another. There's only one T-64, right?

Kieme(ITA) Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Not sure at all. The only I did as an experiment was something for the T-64, I had the sounds of a T-72 idle and a T-64 moving, modded both to fit the in game T-64, at least this was the plan. T-64 uses these two: vehicle loop engine idle heavy vehicle loop move medium track 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Oh, yeah, I gotchya, I had the moving sound in my head when I typed that. Yeah, the Abrams is the only vehicle that gets its own special idle file, everything else is shared across the different nations. Mord.

It would be really cool if each vehicle and aircraft had its own sound. In WWII titles, how cool would it be to hear that shriek of a Stuka or that unique P-51 engine sound? Same thing for Modern titles with different attack helo and fighter/bomber sounds. One day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Modern titles in particular have many more potential sources to gather the sounds from. practically a Whole more universe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Has anyone attempted a mod on CAS request chatter? The stuff in the game is technically (although now outdated) correct. But some updated and more realistic chatter would be really cool. As a point of reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibdw_UQM5-c Is there anyone who can do that calm fighter pilot voice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
