WAFFLESOUNDS Version 3.0 OUT!

[Waffle]

OK folks -

Here it is - complete with sounds for the new vehicles!


GET IT HERE : Wafflesounds3.0

Reserved for the wonderful folks who can mirror:


I am recomending downloading a new sounds.cfg file for this pack.  You can get that here: sounds.cfg

When saving this file(sounds.cfg), there will be a "save as:" box underneath the name once you select where you want to save it. You need to change this to "All files" instead of HTML.

This download for Wafflesounds3.0  is roughly 151mb, and uses winrar self extraction. You DO NOT need to have winrar to open this file. Once it's downloaded, just click on it and it will do the rest. It'll puff itself up to 257MB.

I would recomend extraction to you desktop, then you can place the extracted "sounds" folder into you Aces High II directory. You might want to rename and remove you old sounds folder first.

As always -

The majority of these sounds have been mixed, recorded and edited by me in my little home studio. So am asking for them not to be compiled into other soundpacks  You are free to mix and match the sounds with others on your own PC for your own enjoyment, just not for soundpack compilation at least while I'm still around here.


And now - on to the goodies -

Changes  for Wafflesounds 3.0

- Fixed 50 cals on all US GVs and Us planes.

- Tweaked GE Mg34 sounds on vehicles, synced now for rate of fire, using actualmg34 recording.

- revistited some of the tankguns sounds - small differences.

- Edited Niki engine for loop pop.

- 51 engines / 262/163 cleaned up some "peak" noise that
  caused some crackling in the sounds.

- tweaked some GV sounds - panzer tread for loop pop. for one.

- Fixed PT boats sounds - messed em up pretty good
  the last version (2.5).  

- added material specific hit sounds bases on plane construction material

- added multiple material specific damage and stress sounds based on plane construction material

- readjusted  hit sounds and added some new ones for larger    impact hits. added some resonance reverb to the hit sounds
 
 - Added original sounds for b24j

- Added original sounds for t34

- Added original sounds for ki84

_ made some variations in the country specific check 6 calls.

-  Added JP nationality to the check 6's for the JP planes.

- changed a few of the aircraft operational sounds (flaps, gears)

- increased a few of the flap sounds on some of the planes.

- increased a few of the stall buzzers volumes

- revisited the whine on the Fw190 as well as "whistle" of the F4u series.

- Added authentic cannon sound to p38 (also on the c-hog as an illigetimate )

-bunch more little tedious things that i will never remember...lol


Enjoy!

Should be my last pack for a bit, as I'm pretty happy where everything is sitting in the little audio enhancement.
Now there's some skins to do, so I'll be doing some of those soon

Thanks for your work Waffle!

[SunKing]

Thanks..will give em a try.

So the sound.cfg file you supply is your optimal volume settings for your sounds?

[Waffle]

Yes Sunking. You can then change to your preference, but would suggest using the sounds config file at first.

This is all the sounds.cfg file contains, if folks are having trouble downloading the sounds.cfg properly.

You can open the sounds.cfg file in your AH2 settings folder  - open it with wordpad -  Delete the text that is in there, and then copy and paste the following back into it. Then save.

Waffle the flap sounds are really really low... I use flaps in dogfights at times and i really have a hard time hearing them... even when i reduce engine level and increase flaps level.  otherwise this is amazing!

[Waffle]

from 3.0 readme
- changed a few of the aircraft operational sounds (flaps, gears)

- increased a few of the flap sounds on some of the planes.

- increased a few of the stall buzzers volumes

 

also, you can kick up flaps a bit more on the sounds configuration page.

I've been wrestling with the flap volume thing a bit, but tend to believe that it was hard to hear the operational noises of aircraft when an engine was running full bore. From the recording I've listened to of peroid planes, you can hear them, but it's more of the flap motor noise then movement...
same with gears - it would be more of a tactile physical sensation than actual noise, but there would be some sounds.

If you have a problem with a certain plane, you can dowload a wave editor and open the "flaps.wav" file from the plane folder in the editor and change the volume/gain. You should try about +3 db. That should get you in the ballpark, if not - you can go back and increase/decrease to your liking.

Quick question........this a zip file ?

[Waffle]

Hey blueJ - it a self extracting file using winrar. Just download and click - it will unpack itself.

[BlueJ1]

cc thankyou. I shouldnt have any problems this time. Past 3 soundpacks gave enough that I know all the tricks hehe
<> Thanks for the great sounds ahead of time.

[Waffle]

winrar seems to be the easist to use and does a good job of compressing media files. Original size was around 257Mb.

I think there is another program out there, but can't remeber the name, but does a better job than winrar on media files.

[BlueJ1]

I just got winrar a few weeks ago, needed it for COD maps.  Im quite impressed with it.

[Waffle]

it's a good compression utility - far better than winzip..

man I wish I could remember the name of that other compression utility..lol

[Waffle]

I want to add an additional config file. Somethings in the one above are bothering me. I am going to change the download link to this one.

F6F5 Sound file missing..well not really...

It was just brought to my attention that the F6f5 file got misplaced....well I found it in  the Hurri2C folder.

Open the Hurri2c folder and 'cut' the f6f5 folder out and paste it back into the sounds directory.
