None of the old sound pack work. HTC switched to s different sound system and made them all useless. The only sound packs are the default one that comes with the game, and Challenge's pack is available here (https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,398612.msg5286292.html#msg5286292). There are a couple bugs in the pack and it only covers a portion of the planes .... mostly US aircraft, but it is pretty good. Challenge has since passed away but last we heard his son was working on clearing the bugs.

So the default sounds have become what the good custom sounds used to be?

They are better, but to some of those "high brow sound connoisseur's" they still need work   :devil

Give them a try in game, its easy to use them as they come installed. If they arent up to your standards, click the link and maybe one of those "connoisseur's" will help you out setting it up!  :devil  (its not all that hard to do).

Welcome back!

The FMOD sound system was well worth the change, it added quite a bit of depth in 3D sound.
Problem is it has a bit of a learning curve.

Like any old sound pack, getting flawless loops in engine sounds can be challenging.

Anyone can use it and create new sound packs.

Chalenger's approach was using many actual live recordings of the AC he recorded himself. He was on the verge of polishing them up when he passed. Some of the actual AC either just don't run or exist anymore. So getting those recordings is fubar.

Frankly, I find very little problems with the defaults.

I use my tube VTL system into the Joseph Audio Pulsars for game sound cause I'm awesome.   :rofl
But yah I miss having the option of other sound packs.

With default all the GVs sound the same (at least to my aging ear?).

It can be quite useful to know which you’re up against. I had mixed a custom pack for myself using Mitsu, Ranger’s and probably a few others back in AH2.  I could tell if you were in a Pz, M4, T34, Panther etc… from 3k.

I sometimes turn my sounds down and make my own.
