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.
Stereo.... :cry  :bolt:

And the problem with stereo is...? It sounds great on my system.

They can always be mixed down to mono for people who don't have decent setups.

Odd. Shows how up to date I am, I guess.

In that case, I'll mix down the stereo files to mono so they work properly. I'll leave the stereo files as an option, of course.

Pratt & Whitney R2800 sounds complete.

Again, I won't be uploading any packs until I can find a stable place to keep them, not to mention it will have to be after I test them to make sure they have no issues.

Found some excellent freeware Rolls Royce Griffon sounds. I'll be completing a Griffon pack soon.

Griffon sound pack complete.

Griffon sounds are more than suitable for Typhoon/Tempest use along with the Spitfire Mk.XIV, as there are no genuine, high quality recordings of a Napier Sabre engine; incidentally, the only recordings I've found that are low quality at best sound *very* similar to the Griffon. Little nuances, but nothing to complain about.

Flight testing Merlin, Griffon, and R-2800 sounds for final mixing. R-1830 (also suitable for R-1820) sounds under development as well. DB-600 series sounds are under development; more source material has been acquired, so a full pack may be done sooner than I had thought.

BMW 801 pack for radial FW-190s is now complete. Never thought I'd find adequate source material, but wow! Flight testing now.

BMW 132 (powers the Ju-52) pack is under development with the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 (the latter is suitable for use in aircraft that use the Wright R-1820; no discernible sound difference, so why not?). DB600 series is... Still under development, though I only need one more sound file (internal idle) to complete it. Keep in mind that the DB600 series pack is suitable for use in aircraft that are powered by the Junkers Jumo-210/211, as the engines are almost identical.

Looking for a hosting server now. Packs completed and ready for upload are as follows.

Rolls Royce Merlin
Rolls Royce Griffon
Daimler-Benz 600 Series
BMW 801
Pratt & Whitney R-2800

Each pack includes Engx, Engi, Engstartx, Engstarti, Engoffx, and Engoffi. Engx2 and Engi2 are included as well, which are transposed to 5 semitones over, so that the engine sound is displayed properly in-game (for some reason, AH's sound engine lowers Eng sounds by five semitones, so they sound a lot lower & slower than they're supposed to). Base Eng, Engstart, and Engoff are all internal sounds; the base Eng sound is the transposed, corrected sound file.

I included both internal and external sounds in the hope that HTC will update the game's sound engine so both can be used; before that happens, you have a choice between hearing what the aircraft sound like right in the cockpit, or what they sound like outside the cockpit. Internal sounds for multi-engine aircraft are mixed according to the engines being mounted on the wings, so it's quite a bit different than what you hear in the cockpit from a front-mounted fuselage engine.

You won't get any closer to the real thing in Aces High, at least until the sound engine is updated.

One thing I would love to hear is the whistling sound of the wind passing over the gun barrels and into the intake.

Oh... Erm, woops. Just replace the Ki84 and N1K files with those from any R2800 powered aircraft. Sorry, fudge on my part. I was in such a rush to get everything done that I spaced on it.

I'll fix the archives when I get home from work tonight and upload again.
