3.2 is coming out tomorrow...currently in upload maintainance phase of the website - you can get it here when finished:
WafflesoundsWAFFLESOUNDS VERSION 3.2 Readme
Critical Fixes: Found some files that were sampled at higher rates and bit depths, Which were capable of creating small lags or pauses when the file was played. These includes some stall sounds as well as some wind noises.
Also simplified the files some. This resulted in getting the soundpack under 200MB unzipped.
NOTE: This version will be going back to being used with sounds levels set at default. The best way to accomplish this -
is after installing the soundpack, open you AcesHigh II/Settings folder and delete the "sounds.cfg" file. This will reset all levels to 80. I will post a few tweaks on the website, but when you get in game, would reccommed setting EXTERNAL PLANE
ENGINE sound to 100.
Fixes and Changes in WAFFLESOUNDS 3.2:
New stereo Effects: Warnings and check 6's are now in stereo as well as some damage effects.
All country specific check6s have been removed. (there is a folder labeled "zSixcalls" which contains various check6s.
You can insert these into different planes folders as you see fit. You will have to change the name from the description to
check6.wav
There are now 3 warnings available to choose from. Just have to rename them to warning.wav instead of warning(1).wav
Shortened and reedited some of the explosion sounds, and added a new one for GVs.
Added a "zBomberExplosions" folder which contains explosion files to be inserted into heavy bombers if you do a lot of level bombing.
These files are the low thundering explosions you would hear from a distance. (reccomended insertion into b17,b24,b26,ki67,ju88. lanc folder)
There's also a "zDamagesounds" folder if you would like to change some of the damage sounds. The pack comes with these already inserted
into some of the different plane folders.
PLANES and VEHICLES. ALL PLANES have been modified in some way or form. Flaps should be easier to hear. All engine sounds were normalized.
New wind file for all planes. More authentic based on the recordings heard than previous soundpack versions.
Here are some of the highlights:
New hit sounds for fighters and bombers. Bomber hits are not going to be as "defined" as smaller fighter hit sounds.
Increased some of the air disruption in the stalls for all ge planes and some us planes

Edited gear and slats for level/tone as well.
109E4 /F4 - New engine sounds as wells as changes listed above for the other 109s.
C202/205 new engines as per 109s new engines.

Tons more flaps.gear adjustmenst with eq'ing, ect..prob more engines sounds - just can't remeber...lol
VEHICLESALL Heavy AFV have had their sounds reduced in volume abit to fit in with the "virtual world"
T34 - new tank gun sound.
Explosions sortened edited for GV series.
Edited and some new hit sounds for Heavy AFV
WEAPONS.
ALL gun sounds have been edited to fit in with the "feel" of being in cockpit. Naturally nose mounted armament will be slighly duller
and softer in volume than wing mounted armament.
Rocket sounds have been redited and lowered in volume a bit. Added a slight phasing to help with doppler and sound dispacement as they travel through air.
Added little more low end punch to the British cannons.
Adjusted levels for player manned rear aircraft guns as compared to wing / nose mounted arms. Louder, since "your" firing and aiming the gun.
All Gun sound rate of fire are still based on the following settings:

All in all, there are alot of changes in this pack. Lots more than what is written here. I'd like to thank the folks and staff in the TA for
accomadating me by letting me be the easist target to hit,as well as the folks that have sent in audio reference to use in the creation of this series of sound packs.
