Title: Custom Sound For the Ju-87
Post by: migeater on January 01, 2007, 10:53:29 AM

I just got a new model Ju-87 Stuka Dive Bomber for Christmas, I was looking at the box and was reading about the sirens type devices they had on the undercarriage. I thought that would be a cool custom sound for the Ju-87 the wailing sound would be a good feature to the aircraft.:aok

If I remember, the model that is in AH (d3?) did not have the siren in real life, so having the sound would not be correct.

If you still want it, though, some of the sound packs have a siren sound included for the Stuka, but I'm not sure which packs have it.

My soundpack contains the stuka dive siren.  Not sure about the others.  If ya don't want the whole pack, I could probably email ya just the one sound.

But does it actually work on your stuka?

Would you  label the sound file "wind" and just drop it in the stuka folder to make it work? I'm interested in adding one myself.

I was able to steal the file for the dive siren. I did some hunting and found a better one. I saved it to my desktop. The file was called stuka.wav. I renamed it sounds and put it in the 87 file and it dosent work. How do i make it work? USranger i will send it to u also if u want.

Sure, send it to me plz.  Did you rename that sound file wind.wav and put it in your JU87 folder?

right click the new siren sound go to properties and then click summary tab at top.

right click another AH sound in the sounds folder liek, wind.wav for example, go to properties then click the summary tab at top

now compare the two

now right click the new siren sound again, but this time select record

this should open it in a recorder

now click file, then propeties on the recorder

a window should pop up

at the bottom you should see a button that says "Convert Now..."

click it

you will now see the propeties you can edit

get those properties to match the ones of the wind.wav file

they should be this:

Format: PCM

Attributes: 22.050kHz, 8-bit, Mono                    21Kb/sec

now hit ok, then ok again, and save it

yay!




:D

OK!!!!! Thx we got it to work, but now there is another issue. How can we make it one continueous sound. When the stuka dives it plays the sound byte for the short lenght then it starts over again.

i do not know, unfortunatly i have the same problem.

but i will be experimenting on how to fix that, I think that if maybe i cut a piece of the sound out and loop it it may sound like one continuous thing, i will tell you if it works and then how to do it.

Actually Yosh, they should be 22050khz, 16-bit, Mono. 8-bit just flat-out ruins the sound quality, and 16-bit is native for AHII.

No problem. Just make sure that you don't reduce the bitrate of a source file to 8 and reconvert it to 16, because that doesn't work... :p
