yeah i have the sound mod and a whole bunch of other goodies installed as well(bloody good work btw guys! ) but i cant find the mod folder that is talked about so im not sure how to procede :/

Do you have a "Mods" folder in your IL-2 installation directory or a "Files" one?

If you have a "Files" folder you follow the instructions from the readme.

If you have a "Mods" folder follow my previous advice.

Make sure that in the "Mods" folder you dont have a "files" folder" already, if you do, make that renaming out of the "Mods" folder and then put the resulted renamed folder in to its final position in... "Mods" folder.
