I've been working on my sounds for the past couple of hours tonight while the laundry's getting done, and I've made plenty of progress.

Expect new packs... Soonish.

I've still got quite a ways to go on the next round of packs, but I've got the basics down.

Most of the aircraft have been given sounds, so what's the next step? Making sure they all work correctly with extensive flight testing. Think of it as quality control, as flight testing shows whether or not engine sounds loop properly (sadly, my audio editors don't always do the job), if flaps and gear sounds are of the right length, and if gun sounds fit with the particular gun's rate of fire. And for this series of packs, I've decided to up the realism even more and make the internal recordings the default sounds, with the external ones as switch-in/switch-out files.

I was hoping to have some packs out last week, but since I'm such a perfectionist, I couldn't let the little annoyances slide. But, it'll be worth the wait.

Fruda,

If you want a beta tester, feel free to give me a shout.

Progress has been extra slow because of real life stuff. I'm hoping to change the course of events in a few weeks and get a pack or two out on my site, but you never know what's going to happen.

Alright, another little update.

I won't be working on any sounds until I move into a new place. I've been having a lot of difficulties with a very... Challenging roommate. Said roommate is challenging in many ways; the biggest challenge being him almost never paying his half of the rent. I've had to put up with so much from him and life in general that I just haven't had time for Aces High, much less making sound packs. That said, I'm reasonably hopeful that I'll be back to work sometime in the near future, and with the advent of the new sound engine, I'll be able to do a total revision of my sounds from the ground-up.

Yeah, it'll take a while, but things that take the most time are worth the most time. Have no worries. I'll be back.

I'm not entirely sure the server for the files that I uploaded still exists.

I think that should tell everyone enough in itself: I'm no longer maintaining my old sounds. What was good years ago isn't good anymore; I don't feel ashamed of the work (entirely the contrary, because remastering and clean looping all of these sounds for Aces High II's old audio engine was a huge pain), but I really do feel it's not up to par at this point in time. If there is better source material out there that isn't copyrighted, I'll be more than glad to do more work and get some really decent sounds uploaded again. It's a lot of work, though, and even more so when I make it a point to verify that the sounds are authentic. No point in making sounds for a PW R-2800 that come from who knows what. I'd love to get some gear and record aircraft sounds myself, but that's very expensive, considering the grade of equipment I would need for such a job. No way can I afford anything of the sort right now.

I could always find some source material one aircraft at a time and release finished work at an add-in basis... But to be honest, I don't even remember what standard the new audio engine has for aircraft sounds. Stereo? 44khz? I really have no idea.

Got a hair up my (this was supposed to be a three letter word, and it got turned into "bellybutton" --- er, what...) and decided to do some testing. Results?

Merlin pack complete, full engine run in stereo 22.1khz. Internal and external as usual. I'll upload as soon as everything is 100% clean.
