Help with sounds

[Sharky]

OK So I'm stupid,

I asked HT online if there was a way to save sounds for specific aircraft.  He told me to save them under a new dir named for the aircraft that I want to use them for.  Well under the sounds directory I made a folder for P-51D and for the F4U-1D and placed the .wavs that I wanted to use for the engines and the guns.  When I go into the game it still used the default sounds, so I renamed the default sounds for engine and guns so the program wouldn't recognise them and would use the ones in the folders.  No dice!  It wouldn't play any sound for those functions.  Well I changed everything back to the default.

Could someone explain to me what I am doing wrong?  I have some nice wavs that I'd like to use.

Thanks,
Sharky

Name the files P51d.wav and F4U(whatever theplane name is).wav and put them in the SOUNDS folder.  Don't know about the guns sounds, but I would copy the MG's to a separate folder and replace them with your new sounds as the defaults.

Tern,

Ok to make sure I understand, if for example I wish to make a new sound for the corsair engine, I would name it engf4u-1d.wav is that right?

Thanks for your help,

Where would one go about getting sound files for engines that would vary in timbre and intensity  as your throttle is advanced and retarded? sorry if this sounds stupid but really curious how it works

Pyro,

Thanks I'll give it a try.  I don't wanna sound picky but having the same sounds for all the A/C just hurts the imersion factor.  Now I know you guys haven't spent a lot of time on sounds, and to be honest I prefer you working on other things like new planes, terrains etc.  Besides the internet has all kinds of sounds to stea....er barrow anyway  

Thanks Again,
Sharky

Pyro, thanks for that list!

Pyro,

Thanks it worked great.  Thought I had done this but must have named the folders wrong.

Thanks again the Corsair sounds much better with that nice radial sound
