Sure, I go and post a link in General but not here on the Sounds board! Gotta stop drinking decaf!!!
Readme and download links (http://www.worldaccessnet.com/~delta6/ultimate.htm)
A few notes:
1) I know the Il-2's engine has a glitch in it. Annoying beyond belief to me, but you'll probably just think "it gives it character".
2) You should stick a copy of your sounds folder in another directory since the master download will replace every-single-sound in the AH "sounds" directory. No more losing sounds because you killed the directory. If you don't want to keep anything in the sounds directory, tell it to overwrite without confirmation before hitting "Extract".
3) A 1.5 meg patch can be had which will update the old sound pack to the new one.
4) The site I'm using as a download location will be dead on Friday, so the master download will only be around until Thursday. After that, you have to grab the old sound pack then patch the sucker. I'll move the patch to a different server and update the links Thursday morning.
5) I'll try bribing Ronni into sticking the master downloads and a new readme on the HTC site so they aren't lost for good.

Just tried to get them and found that the links where broken. Date is the 15 Feb 2001 & 6:08pm GMT

HTC is hosting them now. I corrected the above link so it points at the correct readme now. You can download from that link or the HTC downloads page. Just go to the bottom and hit the "flakbait" link on HTC's page.

hi,
BTW GREAT sound mod, WTG. Secondly, the dl link on your page for the update patch is down, and there doesn't appear to be a link to the patch download on the HTC's version of your site.
Thanks for your time and effort :)

I had to pull the patch since the site hosting it went out of business.

just wanted to give a big <S!> flakbait! You singlehandedly increased my enjoyment of Aces High when I installed your sound packs! With the DX8 beta, WOW!!! Flak and explosions are fantastic!!!!!!!!!
-
<S> Flakbait. I want you to know that I enjoy the pack 1 very much.
Unfortunately, the links are now broken :( .
Can you tell me where or how I can download the pack 2?? (I NEED THE TYPHOON SOUNDS BAAAAAAAAD :mad: ).
Thanks a lot,
Once again <S>,

I'll get the links fixed, but the download location is the same:
HTC Hosted Version (http://www.hitechcreations.com/delta6/ultimate.html)
They've got the patch too. It's here (http://www.hitechcreations.com/misc/delta6/ultimate_patch.exe)

S!

Hi there,
I need help here. Please type slowly and use small words for the puter challenged.
I downloaded both of the sound packs. Here is my problem. After installation I still heard the default sounds and now there is a hesitation whenever I fire. The screen stops and sound cuts out briefly. Sometimes this happens when I am not firing. How do I get the sounds in each plane's folder to play wen I use that plane???

Well Mav, it smells like you accidently installed the pack to the wrong directory. At least that's my initial impression. There's a button next to the path box, sorta like this:
Extract to: C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High\sounds ...
The three dots on the end of that path box let you troll around your computer for the Aces High directory. Once you've found it, keep going until you see the sounds folder. Just highlight it (one click) and hit OK; that tells the installer where to stick the beast. I take it you've been using the default sounds, so tell it to overwrite the existing files. There's a radio button just under a long list of file names labeled "Overwrite". Put the dot next to that and whack "Extract", it'll install them.
I don't know why there'd be a pause in firing or any general glitches. I'm running the slowest computer here, with all 376 sounds, and nary a hiccup yet from it. You could try playing around with sound card acceleration, but I don't know how you'd do that. Pester Bloom or Leph about it and one of the two should be able to help you.
Before you go messing with the sound card, make sure you installed the thing to the correct directory. If that's not it, then either your system or AH doesn't like the idea of using my sounds. I honestly don't know what could cause this problem, let alone how to fix it. Those who have reported a similar glitch apparently found a cure and never said what it was. Either they got rid of my pack (by installing AH again) or they found a fix.
A few tips, just to make sure everything is running smoothly:
1) Set the sound mixer in AH to default, with explosion and flak blast sounds to 100%. Gives a nice floor vibration when you really crank the volume. You can either delete the "sounds.cfg" file in the settings folder, or manually reset them. Personally, I just kill the sounds.cfg file and let AH make a new one.
2) Hopefully you've got a sub-woofer, if not buy one! A great trick to use is to play your favorite music LOUD; you can get the sub-woofer's volume set just right by doing this. If you've got a copy of a game with really loud explosions, like Quake 2 (not kidding here!) then use it.
3) As usual, make sure you've got a good set of drivers and that nothing else is using the sound card when you play. I know quite a few people here who run an MP3 player while flying. Nothing better to screw up your audio experience, or slow down your system. Using the CD player is something I do all the time, and I've yet to encounter any problems.
And Mav, feel free to e-mail me if you need further help. delta6@bigfoot.com
