Hi CK_PIPS,
Glad you got it working mate.
These mods are fun but they can keep us on our toes. :wink:
I am now at the moment digging around with my engine sounds as well because as much as I love them, not all of them work for me. For some reason I have never been able to get sounds for my Corsairs, F4F's and F6F's. That has been damned frustrating for me as I am a big fan of the PTO.
After some experimenting with the associated *.prs files by way of changing the association of *.wav files to that which I have had no problem with, I have found that I can reinstate sounds for these aircraft even if they are not the intended ones. This seemed to work for me, but then I noticed it was only while I was still in the current session. If I shut the PC down and later returned for another session, all sounds for these aircraft were again lost. :roll:.... So I shut IL-2 down and then start it up again... still no sound. Then I thought, "Oh crap don't tell me it's another one of those crappy file integrity things again?". So I shut IL-2 down again, open each of the motor.PrattWhitney *.prs files again (because I don't know exactly which one belongs to each aircraft) and then save them without changing anything, start up IL-2 again and viola!! I have engine sounds again!!!
Sweet Jesus... these mods have been sent to test me I'm sure of it :mrgreen:
Anyway food for thought me thinks...
Also Bolox, my apologies to you for this subject having become somewhat diverted from the original subject, which I believe is largely my fault. I assure you I will not contribute to this particular subject any further in this thread. :wink:
