African-American Voice Pack Tuskegee Airmen for IL-2

If you select just country with no squadron,you get default country voice pack.But if you select squadron you get that squadrons voice pack.

This might be worth looking into Wink

As interesting as that sounds, have you looked at how many squadrons there are in the game? Hundreds. That's hundreds of voice packs that would have to be made and there are dozens and dozens of wav files just for the generic voices. That would equate to a voice pack about as large as the entire UI1.1 mod pack all by itself.

I like the concept, but I think it needs to be kept to a manageable level. Here's an example. Since we are talking about the Tuskegee Airmen, let's use them. We already know they were an all black squadron. The pilots came from all over so they too would have different accents based on the location they grew up in. An average WWII fighter squadron had somewhere around, what, 20 to 30 pilots (just guessing based on today's requirements)? That could be 20 to 30 different dialects and/or accents. Then you have all the wav files that need to be recorded. You have 9 "Actors" folders with from 9 to 238 wav files in the folders. That's a lot of recording.

But, don't let me stop you. If you are willing to do it and can find enough folks to help, then by all means, go for it. I would use it.
