Thought I'd share this here, too, after sharing this elsewhere for Finnish Squads.
Since there are no Brewsters nor their engines in running conditions, I had to try to find the closest equivalents I could find for free, modifying the sounds according Wmakers invaluable information based on both technical data and pilot memories.
So this sound is originally a Trojan, which has a slightly bigger version of the Cyclone engine than the Brewster, from a Youtube video taken inside the plane. I slowed down the pace of the sound clip, since the Trojan engine has a higher top RPM. Since the video sound was quite thin, due to poor recording equipment and bandwidth reasons, I beefed it by adding some dB's in the 200 Hz range. It has been documented that the transmission added a circular saw type whine to the engine roar, but after some trial mixdowns I decided to leave it out. The inertia startup sound is from an old Bf-109E startup video, also from Youtube, mixed with the Trojan startup sound. I did my best to make a seamless shift when starting the engine at full throttle.
The EngineStop and Flaps sounds are directly from USRanger's sound pack. They are credited for him, definitely not me: I like his pack very much and used the FM2, being the closest equivalent, as a test plane before the B239 was available. Since this B239 (http://www.telemail.fi/petrin.atk-apu/B239.zip) folder is directly from my AH Sounds, it has the FM2 engstop and flaps sounds ready for other RangerSounds (http://www.bops.us/bops/bin/site/ftp/bops/sounds.zip) users, just because I'm a lazy bastard.

i love the engine start and flaps. I might've just adjusted to the new sounds, but i think the engine sounds like the regular game sounds. But i'll use the Engine start and flaps....Thanks!!
