:aok 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.

I liten to big band alot when flying.....

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...

It's not all Axis...there's a ton of BBC, Armed Forces Radio, etc...Edward R. Murrow....
What's really neat about this stuff, is that the broadcast usually leads into a song...
"Allied forces advanced 20 miles today and are outside Prague...and here's the Glen Miller Band..."
It adds a bit of ambiance I think...

id like a sound option. where i could cut it off or on. would be hard to hear squadies or listen to my music.
-
I think the women back then we're hot. Very elegant, even the slutty ones. I think if I were single again I would find one of those Vogue Clubs and try to do some damage there.:aok Why don't I think of this stuff when I'm single?
It's like nowadays, my wife and I go to Brasil every year for Carnival and my friends ask me how it is. I tell them in all seriousness,"it's like taking sand to the beach." Why wasn't I going there when I was single?
oh yeah...the topic. I like the music from that era. It had class unlike most of the bass thumping B.S. that passes for music now.

I actually have some BBC broadcasting that plays a song or two then loads some authentic news reel inbetween songs (like commercials)
Basically all I did was autoplay my songs, and every 3-4 mp3's I added some radio broadcast of real events which were in mp3 format also
(for example dec 7th 1941 would be end of my 1941 era mp3s, and it would play the famous speech about pearl harbor)
Really dweeby yeah, but really I enjoy stuff like that makes the game much more fun. Plus I never got to hear any of these broadcasts before.

You can add sound clips to your sound pack. Replace a warning sound with a song, just make sure the file is named "warning" and change the old file to ie. "warning_1"

Musta been real hard for them to radio to their wingman. Perhaps a little investigation prior to posting next time would be in order. It was common for pilots to tune to radio stations in WW2 during flight...escort duty was long and lonely after all. Many used those radio signals to navigate back or "home" in on friendly areas when lost or separated from their flight packages.

thats a good idea

I listen to music all of the time while playing AH. I put WMP at about 2 or 3, so I can hear everything, including vox.
-
Well, it seems like there is a large supopot on the music of the 40's. Lets push AH to add this on the next upgrade where we can turn the music off and on.

Its not hard, Silent Hunter 4 had a built in Mp3 player, hence why I searched the internet for weeks to compile the list of music for co-modder.
I think adding an option for hot keys to turn music on and off in game without having to alt-tab would be great,
I use a third party program now lets me be in game and have my winamp ingame with me, sadly the box is rather big so I have to shove it in my lap blocking certain gauges. Neverless I can control my winamp in game and its quite nice.
-
How do you have winamp up when in game?. I have tried but thought it couldn't be done so I just start it and let it randomly play.
-
I fly w/ winamp when squaddies aren't on.

German radio playin in town, as you role in with your sherman, would be funny! :D

its been so long since i did this, i am trying to find out of one of my books where I got the idea from.
I think I basically put Aces High in Windowed mode, as a background application and made winamp my primary desktop.
Long as I don't exist winamp I dont have to alt tab to my 2nd desktop which would be aces high it works fine.
hard to explain i need to find it and i can post instructions here.

IDEA:
We have VOX channels to communicate with other players. It would be neat if HiTech created designated channels in the 300s or so that always had music playing 24/7. Certain channels had certain genres or musicians.

We could have Tokyo Nit...Silly bish,your capping base, and porking fuel while the rooks have their way with your sheep.

That would be the way to go. But will it work. I like the ideal on turning the music off and on. While in the tower or in flight. Anything to make it more authantic in the game.
Only if we can get them pin-up too. :furious

Thanks for posting this Adonai. I downloaded them all but it appears that they all are American… do you have a link for European or did I miss something?

hmm Thought it was a mixture, might be wrong post Ill look for the other music, and post back soon as I can, sorry for that! Must of been the early mod pack!

What I have done is downloaded music from http://victoryatseaonline.com/ (http://victoryatseaonline.com/)
then I create a "War" or "AHII" music folder in my Itunes or Windows MP. Hit play,
minimize,then I open my game. Works really nice and fits any WWII game I play.
There is a section that has alot of the WWII movie themes. Everything from
"Midway" to "Saving Pvt Ryan".
