Hi fly_zo - thanks man! BTW I love the Army or Navy photo you wouldn't mind sending a bigger version so I can use as a desktop pic?
I will do go ahead and start from scratch as you recommend. I was messing with it all night yesterday evening and found some oddities: the A-20C/G engine noise in F2 mode is the stick sound. It is just odd.
I had to reboot my PC for some reason and I went ahead and tested the sounds again (on the Corsair) and low and behold - I had the LOUD and imppressive P&W R2800 thundering from cockpit mode!!!! I then tried the A-20s and sure enough they had the Eng Sound Mod sound from both the pit and F2 mode!!!!
However I checked a few more and had the same issue on the multi-engine A/C where the sound was either barely audiable from the cockpit or no sound at all (early B-25s, B-17s, B-24). Very odd stuff.
This am I tested again and sure enough I lost the MOD engine sound from both the A-20 and Corsair variants! I have a theory - before mod I had issues launching the 1946 - it would launch and then I'd get stuck on the menu screen: I would have the music playing but the cursor wouldn't move. I would need to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to desktop then cancel Task Manager, then click on IL2 at botton of tooltray and after a minute or two of a dark screen I would be back on the menu screen but thsi time the mouse worked. This usuallworked but sometimes I would have to do a total shut down since I would get stuck on the dark screen and never go back to the IL2 menu.
AFTER I modded I didn't need to do this at all ... I would launch and it would go into the new Mod splash screen and then the menu and all was fine. However after the Eng Sound Mod I did ocassionally encounter the scenario described above. I believe thsi is when the Eng Sound issue occurs. My theory is maybe at launch the game launches but with a mix of sounds? All the other grahpical modes are present - new A/C, flyables, Flushy's clouds, etc. but I get the described emg sound issue on some of the planes - in the majority of the others I have the mod engine sound.
Also, one thing I can't seem to decipher is the Dive Sounds - I installed thsi as well but not sure what it is I should be hearing. maybe I installed this incorrectly and caused some issues? Anyway I'll give a shot and thanks for yor help and replies.
