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.
