I'm sure people here will have heard about sound stutters in IL2 even (if they don't have that problem!) 
I often get a stutter the first time a wingman says something he hasn't said yet, then after that no stutters - presumably because the sounds are cached. I've read that this is quite common.
It occurred to me that one way to fix the initial stutter would be to create a RAM drive, dump all the speech sounds in it (there's only about 70Mb of speech files in total) and get IL2 to read the sound files from there instead of reading them from the HD. The last bit is the part I need help with.
It seems that the AAA UI has the ability to tell IL2 to look for files in the "MODS" folder and use those instead of the default files. It should therefore be possible to tell IL2 to look in a RAM drive, but I don't know how to do it.
Any help?
