Nice video very atmospheric and the sounds were good too.
To those "knocking" the original sound engine.
Oleg stated on more than one occasion that it was to secure the game for anti cheat as the sound engine was hacked more than once in the early days.
Servers using full switch competitions had pilots with modified sound able to hear enemy engines from a long way out and used it like a radar effect.
To say the old sound engine was terrible is wrong as I started with a soundblaster 4.1 and eventually ended up with a Xfi music and the original sound engine is superb using a high end sound card set up correctly.
Yes the sound mod adds that bit extra but its not secure for those wishing to fight in a clean game in full switch.
So dont bash Oleg and the old sound engine, it served many of us well for years and still does.
Cheers all
