First the Corsair engine went west...now I don't have sounds for all the Messerschmitt series,plus numerous but not all other aircraft- Fiat, F-4-F etc.Some others are fine...but it is unnerving to fly a plane that sounds like a glider.Have checked Samples folder in "Files" & also "Soundmods" everything still appears to be there...So I'm at a loss...any quick fix ideas out there ?

I'm having the same problem, (it might be a combatability issue with IR tracker) I think the answer is to remove all sound mods reset to defalt sounds and start over. Hope that helps.

This is an ongoing problem for me also, I am having it with the Corsair's, F4F's and F6F's.

I have a fix that works for me but I find that often it only lasts for one or two sessions (reboots) and then I have to repeat the fix again.

My solution:
1) Identify all the aircraft engine sounds that are persistent with sound quality and have never failed to deliver sound. Choose anyone of these as a replacement for the aircraft engine sounds that persistently fail for you.

2) Identify each *.prs file that represents each aircraft's engine sound both for the ones that fail and also for the ones that work well and you would like to use as a replacements. For example the "motor.DB-700_Series.prs" file represents the Bf 109 series. These files can be found in the IL-2 directory similar to "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 Mod\Files\presets\sounds\".

3) Replace the failing engine sounds *.prs file with any one of the ones that are persistent with quality. An example would be, if the IL-2 (series aircraft) engine sounds persistently fail and you choose to replace them with the Bf 109 sounds then this would be the approach:

NOTE: Before anything else, always, always backup the files you will be working with so that if the dirt hits the fan you can revert back to the original files :wink:

Open the "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 Mod\Files\presets\sounds\motor.DB-700_Series.prs" file and then "Save As" to "motor.AM_Series.prs" (this is the *.prs file that controls the sound for the IL-2 aircraft series). This effectively tells the IL-2 program to use the Bf 109 sound files for the IL-2 Sturmovik series aircraft.

4) Launch the IL-2 game and play. If you have followed these steps correctly, the IL-2 aircraft series aircraft will now be using the Bf 109 engine sounds.

I hope this helps rather than to confuse and if anyone needs a little more explanation with this I will do my best to help if I can.

I know this is an ongoing problem for a few of us and this is the best solution I have found to this point.

Cheers, CrazySchmidt.

It happened to me when I d/l the beta P-24 mod.

Lost Corsairs, P-47, B-239, Me 410, 109E, 109F sounds... :?

Will have a look at these suggestions and see if I can come up with a fix...

[Dietz]

I'll try a few ideas too...I'm getting tired of making engine noises with my lips!

[Dietz]

Just did this & tested it once...so I'm not sure its permanent.I had saved the entire fully functioning Mods Il2 folder at the end of October.So I first tried replacing the full Soundmod folder with no result.Then I copied the old functioning Files folder to my current version & it brought back all the sounds.so...maybe...
By the way this all started when I installed the new Corsair engine sounds then tried to diable them becausr I wasn't happy with them...it could be just a cooincidence tho. :?:
