I was wondering if anyone has a Mod for adding flak burst sounds back in the sim. Not sure why they are gone but perhaps someone has a mod for the flak burst sounds?

Thanks muchly,

This is relly a desirable request 8) I miss the sounds too.

+2, that MUFFLED sound like in Battle of Britain movie, really scary, tons of immersion to add!

+3, I want to be scared sh*#less when I'm on a B17 bombing run over Berlin... :lol:

What is the name of the flak sound? Anyone know? :?

[pomak249]

I asked this same question a while back got no takers!

[panzerkeil]

The big ones are zenitka_gd.wav or one of the grenade_efx sounds. They all sound similar..
I thinks we just don't hear it anymore because the new sounds are much louder.
Not sure about the smaller one(s) though.. I don't remember ever hearing the smaller ones explode.
I'll keep looking 8)

I've found the preset files responsible for the different flak explosions

the problem is with my low end soundcard(ancient but still working, SB Live) that I cant have both engine and flak loud, the engine cancels out the flak sounds, if I set the flak [spl]200 then the flak cancels out the engine
if you turn off the engine you will start to hear a lot of background sfx which you cant hear otherwise
I dunno if number of playback channels influence this or its a fault of the sound engine

[Vpmedia]

btw I got the same problem with the rocket sounds, cant hear them well with engine on

[panzerkeil]

Yep, these are the files; I replaced them for some animal sounds and I was on old Mc Donald's farm as soom as the aa opened up. :lol:
I tried to increase the volume 100% using sound recorder; I could hear them very well in external views, but still was barely able to hear very close explosions in an YP80. Could not hear anything at all in a propellor driven bomber unless it was a direct hit.
IL2 handles the sound volume internally with .prs files (in presets folder); we need to find the one that handles the aa explosions and raise the volume there..

[panzerkeil]

VP: it's not your sound card; I have a soundblaster x-fi and when testing your files the same thing happened to me..

[panzerkeil]

Raising the volume to 150 in the prs files gives me the most satisfying result: can still hear my engine but can hear explosions too! hock: Thanks VP!!!

[pomak249]

Hi VP can you post a different link ?

Or tell us where these files are?

Thanks

Thanks for the info on Flak sounds! Got the mod and turned up the PRS to 160 and it's AWESOME! Still hear the engines well enough but the thrill of flying through the flak is now intense!
