Thanks for the replies.
I have modified the user for the 1946 folder so that anyone other than administrator also has full permissions. Then I downloaded the files into my 1946 folder. This morning I noticed no change in the game so I went into the folder and clicked on each compressed file downloaded and they loaded within the folder (after I said it was ok to do). These are not in any folders...they are just within the general IL2 1946 folder if that's where they belong.
I downloaded V 0.6 of the sound installer and the wrapper file, one other similar file that is on the same page, the dive sounds and one other file. These are the sounds that are in the sounds download section right now. When uncompressing the files and the DOS looking menu screen came up I always clicked on the V0.6 version.
The only change I notice in the game is that the muzzle flashes on the Mustang D seem as if they might be bigger, the plane seems like it doesn't want to fly (lift), the controls are a lot more sloppy (twitchy, theres a lot of wandering movement with zero control input) and the BF 109 G seems to be a bit faster than the Mustang (doesn't sound right to me).
Anyway, I notice no difference in engine sounds, gun sounds. dive sounds, fly by sounds, etc.
Do you think the downloads are working? I had expected dramatic differences.
Do you have any recommendations?
The link for the Merlin fly by sound doesn't exist. Where are there authentic Mustang engine sounds?
One thing I think that this game has always needed are decent sounds that simulate what these planes were really like. The doppler shifted box fan sounds just don't cut it.
