  love that whole music era

I think it would be fun idea to have 1939-1945 music randomly played in the tower/hanger areas. I do have over 4500 songs from the era I got off Silent Hunter 4, one of the modders put together a sound pack of various bands through the era. Not only american but also british, aussie, german etc.

If anyone wants I can zip up the songs and post somewhere, however I think it was really huge being those were all mp3s.

You know Adonai, I would greatly appreciate it if you did.  Those might come in handy for those of us that make films from the game.  Give it a better feel for the era.  Break it up into different zipped packs, and talk to Fulmar as well about putting it on his site.  The link is down below if you need it.

I don't know if you guys ever played it, but Battlefield: Vietnam had the option of playing a few songs from the 60's while in vehicles.  I thought that was a pretty neat feature.  You could even add your own songs to the ones that came with the game.  I'm sure it isn't very realistic to have music playing in the cockpit of a P-51.  Wasn't the smallest radio the size of a trunk back then?!

In the war days the long range bomber radio men would tune in a bit of Vera Lynn or Glenn Miller  off the BBC
on their return journies...would be fun if you could choose a radio option for long flights
even randomise it ..Lord HawHaw cuttin in...static..german channels  .would give a great ambiance

Note this sound collection is for a different game called silent hunter 4, but it is in mp3 format so it can be downloaded by anyone,
it has a collection of music from America, Germany, Australia, Britain, France and Russia.

Here is the URL for the 1940-1945 music - each is in a ZIP package and most in mp3 format
Its a 3 Zip package, you must get the complete year package (i.e if its 3 files you must get all 3 to unzip correctly)

I have tested the songs before, they are pretty good quality for its era. What I did was I made a folder inside Aces High
called Tower Music, inside I unzipped each package to its year, and made a winamp playlist and put it on random play.

My old man was huge into WW-ll big band type music of all kinds. From swing to Lawrence Welk. He had hundreds of albumns of this stuff, I wish I still had it. Anyway he told me thats when he started collecting it all, when he was a teenager during WW-ll. A lot of that big band stuff was good stuff, quality music is quality music.

Boy..what days those must have been.

I used sound packs for Silent Hunter III,and it really added to the virtual experience.Lili Marlene,Horst Wessel,Alte Kameraden,Westerwald,
Langen Kerls,SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Badenweiler Marsch,and Ich Hatt' einen Kameraden,were amongst my favorites while traversing the Atlantic otw to the USA area of operations.I have Silent Hunter IV as well,but I don't use the sound packs for it,as I don't really care for the big bands that well.

I have a bunch of BBC broadcasts, Lord Haw-Haw, Tokyo Rose, etc... I can rip the CD (it's not a commercial CD) and post a zip if you want.

Also, check out www.earthstation1.com

They've got a huge selection of wartime broadcasts available on CD/DVD, etc...
