I've decided to stop releasing large, "global" AH2 sound packs, in favor of dedicated packs. I'll release two packs at a time, but know this: It will take quite some time to finish every plane.
So far I've done the P-51's and Spitfires, all zipped into two different packs. These are of the highest quality possible, and I'll be updating as soon as I get more source material.
My next project is a P-38/Me 109 pack... Look out for it, as it may come sooner than you expect :aok .

Go here to get the P-51 and Spitfire packs. They're in .RAR format and shouldn't take long to download.
-
I've uploaded my F4U Corsair and P-38 packs. Go to my site to download them.
-
Fruda is it ok if i combine the sounds you have released into one file and put them on the USMC website for download?
-
I like the P-38 sounds. Thanks for sharing.
-
It's no problem with me, 6Gun. I release my sounds as open-source, so you can do whatever the hell you want with them (however, they will not have the *official* Fruda Seal of Quality if you remix them :lol ).
-
New sounds released... Updated Merlin engine sounds in the P-51 and Spitfire packs. These were taken from actual recordings, so they sound like the real thing.

Good news... I've just finished work on an updated Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine, along with extra sounds for US Navy fighters.
This means that I'll be uploading a brand-new Corsair pack, along with a P-47 pack and a Tempest/Typhoon pack. Watch for it in the next few days :aok.
-
Just finished work on a lot of new stuff, including updates to existing packs. I should have some new releases soon. maybe in the next few days.
-
Thank you Fruda!
-
Don't mention it. I'm just doing my part to enhance this game :aok .
-
Ok, forgive my ignorance, but how do I use these .rar files once I have downloaded them?
Thanks!
Bazi
-
You need to download Winrar (google it).
-
Good news. I've finished some very nice sounds to coincide with the release of 2.02. This means that you'll have brand-new P-38G and J sounds!
This is gonna be great.
-
New packs released! Along with updates to existing packs, I've uploaded an Me 109 pack.
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda to download.
Cheers.

Three new packs, as well as updates, have just been released.
New Features and Fixes
-------------------------------
P-51 Pack: Merlin engine was too silent. Also was missing a faint grinding sound. These problems have been resolved.
Spitfire Pack: Spitfire 9 had the wrong engine sound file. This has been fixed. I've also added a stall buzzer to the Spits.
Me 109 Pack: Cleaned up the audio just a bit.
F4U Corsair Pack: Some of the Corsairs had an experimental engstart file, which I didn't mean to release. They've been replaced by newer engstart files, and sound much better.
P-38 Pack: Audio cleanup.
===================
New Pack Features
-------------------------
B-17G Pack 2.05: Eng, Engoff, and Engstart files are from a real Wright R1820 Cyclone radial engine. M2 files are recording snippets from an actual Browning machine gun. Also includes brand-new flap and gear sounds, as well as a stall clicker.
Mosquito Pack 2.05: Eng, Engoff, and Engstart files are recordings from an actual Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. 30cal files are snippets from a Browning .303 machine gun. 20mm files are recording snippets from a Hispano Mk.II cannon. Contains new flap and gear sounds, as well as a stall buzzer.
Tempest/Typhoon Pack 2.05: Eng, Engoff, and Engstart files are from a Napier Sabre engine. 20mm files are recording snippets from Hispano Mk.II and Mk.V cannons. Includes new flap and gear sounds, as well as a stall buzzer.
========================

New packs and updates released.
Information
---------------
F4U Corsair Pack 2.08 update: New eng, engoff, and engstart sounds. These are high-fidelity Pratt & Whitney recordings, with that genuine Radial buzz.
Hawker Hurricane Pack 2.05: Genuine Rolls Royce Merlin recordings for eng, engstart, and engoff, as well as actual flap/gear sounds.
C47 Pack 2.05: Genuine Pratt & Whitney engine sounds, new flap/gear sounds, and a new stall clicker.
Bomber Pack 2.05: Updates the B-17G Pack 2.05, as well as adding new sounds for the B-24J and B-26B. The B-17G now has an actual Wright R-1820 radial engine. The B-24J has the new high-fidelity, genuine Pratt & Whitney engine sounds, as well as new flap/gear sounds. The B-26B also has the new Pratt & Whitney engine sounds, along with new flap/gear sounds.
==========================================

I'll have even more sounds in the next few days, so keep checking on this topic.
-
Spitfire Pack updated.
Seems that I mixed the wrong eng files around, and didn't even include the Merlin 61! Well, that's been fixed.
The Spitfire Mk.I still contains the Merlin XX-class engine, while the Seafire II, V, and IX have the Merlin 61 engine sound (the only audible difference from lower and higher Merlins is the pitch/volume, so the 45, 61, and 66 sound virtually identical). There's quite a bit of noise difference, as the later Merlins are more powerful.

Update...
New P-51 eng sound. The eng sound in version 2.05 was taken from a modified P-51, a Reno Racer, so it wasn't exactly historically accurate. This has been fixed with a true-to-life, historcal Merlin engine sound. The pack has been updated to version 2.08.

@ Fruda
Great work on the sounds - if you have time I would like to talk to you.
ICQ 170341329

E-mail would be simpler (mainly since I don't have ICQ)... potatish@earthlink.net is my address.
-
A P-47 pack will be released soon, so all you Jug Jockies get ready!
It contains full Pratt & Whitney sounds, including engine, engine start, and shutdown, all being full-cycle. In addition to those, you get real M2 .50 Caliber sounds, a true-to-life stall clicker, and American check6/warning sounds. And on top of that is a top-notch wind/dive sound.
If you like the P-47 with defaul sounds, you'll absolutely love it with this new pack.
-
I'm REALLY looking forward to the P47 sounds. I just joined the 56th, I'll be waiting Fruda, thanks!
-
I'll have it out "when it's done"... I've just been caught up in a lot of other stuff, and haven't had time for Aces High, or sound development, for that matter.
-
next to each sound pack, could you put dates of release or updates. it makes it easier to find out which of your fine sounds i have and which i dont :)
-
Yeah, I'll get to it as soon as I can find time for it.
-
I gots a silly question......
Once downloaded I un rar them and place them in the AHII/sounds? I am curently useing Mitsu's pack, but
your pack seems to have rave reviews from your users.
Thanks.:aok
-
That's where you place them. It's quite simple once you get the hang of it.
-
Bah, stupid delays. I've been working out some new Pratt & Whitney sounds, seeing which ones are the best to use. I've been comparing my engine loops with flyby footage, and it seems I've got a completely accurate one. I should have it finished soon.
-
Okay, I also got a silly question
So once I download I use rar to extract the files to AH2 sounds folder right? ok did that but when I play the sounds are still the typical ah2 default sounds, no changes. Did I extract them wrong or sumthing :confused:
-

Basically every file in the pack is corrupt and it won't open.
-
That's... Odd, because when I download and unpack, everything works fine. Maybe you need to reinstall Winrar...?
-
Nope, winrar is working fine, works on every other file I have! (I keep my backup archives in .rar format)
-
when could we expect your great updated sound packs?
-
I'm thinking about doing it... Soonish. I've been getting around to it lately, as I've finished some much better P&W 2800 sounds.
-
New Bf 109 and Bf 110 sounds uploaded.

It should be working... I just tried both of them, and they work.
-
ok there working now just werent when i posted that message
-
Ok, good. I was wondering what the hell was going on...
-
Hey fruda, an update on my problem: It turns out it WAS my version of winrar. It was an older one, and I don't know, maybe they changed something or it went corrupt (hell, not sure) but I DLed the most recent and all is well.
Cheers!
-
I knew it was something of the sort!
Ehh, I'll get to work on more sounds in good time. I've just needed a *long* break from AH...
-
F6F sound pack...please.
-
Finally, new F4U Corsair and P-47 sound packs!
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
Cheers.
-
Right. I've completely re-worked the Spitfire sounds, so I'll be uploading those shortly. Next on the list will be the 109's.
-
has the pack been uploaded for spitfires?
-
Meh, I've been away for a few days. Anyway, I'm still making sure which sounds best fit the Spitfires before I upload.
-
New P-47 sounds released...
They've been totally re-worked, so check them out.
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
-
P-47, P-38, and Bf-109 packs released (all version 5.0).
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
-
Bf-110 Pack 5.0 uploaded, and Bf-109 Pack 5.5 uploaded.
Version 5.5 of the Bf-109 pack contains updates for the stall clicker and bomb release sounds.
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
-
nice sounds fruda but they sound a little quiet
-
Well, that's relative, because with my speakers, they're pretty loud. Maybe you have your sound settings on AH low?
They're not meant to be as loud as my previous packs. I've gone for an "in the cockpit" sound this time around.
-
U make a 51 pack ill use um:D
-
A P-51 pack is on the way. I still have to rework the source sounds.
-
How bout an la-5 or corsair pack =)
-
i'll check my sound settings within aces high today to see if that brings some more noise into my life
-

Easier said than done for Russian planes... Source sounds are extremely rare (good ones, anyway).
For Corsair sounds, though, it should be easy. I've got a lot of Pratt & Whitney source files.
-
well as for the la5. If you have them hangin around mind emailing them to me at keteles@gmail.com
-
New packs released.
Bf-109 Pack 6.0, P-47 Pack 6.0, P-51 Pack 6.0, and Spitfire Pack 6.0.
New, superior sounds for Aces High II.
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
-
Frudas site down? Im getting a cannot find server error message when I try to go to your site. :(
-
Worked fine today:)
-
Okay people, I'm thinking about starting work on my sounds again. I've been taking a much-needed hiatus... Needless to say, I'm getting interested in actually doing this again.
Don't worry, though. I still have all of my sounds (even the source files) on my hard drive, so when I do get back to them, updates won't take very long.
-
Hey Fruda can i get your Navy sounds? When i go to your site you only see the p51 p47 p38 bf109 and spitfire sounds.
-
They'll be up in a few days. I'll be working on higher quality USN sounds, so be on the lookout for an update post.
-
Awsome Fruda i cant wait.
~S~
-
Look forward to them Fruda.:aok
-
Looks like sitesled.com is still offline?
-
The site seems to be up guys.
Anyway, I should be done with a new USN pack very soon. I've perfected my acoustic modeling technique, so they sound much better than any of my earlier sounds.
-
I've made some progress on my USN sounds.
I've completed sound sets for all Pratt & Whitney R-1800 and Pratt & Whitney R-2800 USN aircraft. I'll be completing sound sets for all Wright-powered USN aircraft soon.
It takes some time, yes, but you simply won't find higher quality sounds for Aces High II.
-
THx Fruda ... lookin forward to tryin em out (D'ldn as we speak :)
-GE
-
Well, the ones you're downloading are pretty old, and they don't sound nearly as good as the new sounds I'm working on. They're still good, though, so enjoy.
-
Ya site is odd. I could get it fine 6 hours ago then "Cannot find server" and have had that ever since. I had a chance to get the Spit & p47 sounds but thats it..from what ive heard its great work.. replaces my mistu sounds for now. Anyway hope your host fixes its issues up cause im looking forward to grabbing more of your work.
S!
NewB
EDIT: it seems Sitesled no longer is running according to many reviews and testaments i just read... yet i was able to log on that one time and not now..... lol oh well thought i had a great sound place to go to...now im not sure if it will work anymore lol hope it does cause i want them damn sounds:aok
-
That's odd. Well, I'll just have to find another way to get my sounds out, then.
-
I'm currently progressing with my USN sound pack. However, when I finally do finish it, I won't be able to host the files on my own.
I'll have to figure something out. In the meantime, keep watching. These sounds are the best you'll hear on Aces High II.
Edit: Cancel that file hosting comment. Sitesled's still up!
-
How do you install these sounds ?
A quick bullet point would be nice, I am already using A sound pack, but I'm having trouble with yours.
< Zaa, thanks in advance
-
It says that I need to choose A program from the list etc, what have I done wrong, do I need to download these files using some different software ?
-
You need to download WinRAR to access the packs. After that, it's pretty straightforward. You just unpack the files to your Aces High II "Sounds" directory.
Remember to back up any sounds you're replacing.
-
Thanks Fruda.
-
No problem.
I should get back to work on my sounds within the next few weeks --- I'm currently without the computer that has my reference files on it.
-
Fruda are you planning on making any new explosion sounds ?
-
that DB605 startup was AWESOME, when it first started up i just got a big ol grin on my face:D
-
hey can other ppl hear the sounds on the MA arenas?
-
if they have the sounds too, i believe they can, at least in H2H i know they can, i don't see why not in the MA, if they have the same sound pack
-
Well, I would've had more sounds up, but I don't have my computer with the source material at the moment.
I might have it back in a few weeks, so keep watching.
-
hey Fruda I love hem 109 sound packs..but one question..I dont if I downloaded an outdated version but why isnt there one for 109K and G14???
-
I don't have any packs for the G14 and K4 yet. I should soon, though, as I'm rebuilding my sounds database on this computer.
-
does this winrar thing cost anything?
and do i HAVE to have it to start these sounds?
-
no its free and yes u do need them to install them into ur pc
-
is the officail site the best place to get this?
also when i down load one of these sounds it says it wouldn't let down load them because it says that the path or internet address is incorrect. is this because i do not have winrar.
ok i really need help i have no clue how to do this. i down loaded winrar so i think, sooooooo when i click to run the sounds it says there was a error and it wont let me run them how in the hell do i do this.
-
how do i explain this ...u need to use the winrar u downloaded to "unwinrar" the soundpacks so they can be installed into ur pc...the soundpacks are in winwar format wen u download them from this forum..but they cant b installed like this.. so u need the winrar program to "unwinrarize" them so they can b installed into ur pc...
-
The sound files are compressed. You're probably more familiar with zip files and winraw is just another free file compression program in wide use.
Unzip them but in this case as Platano says, "unwinrarize" them. That should put your wheels back on the tracks.
-
awsome i got them to work ty guys also that pratt and whittney souds nice but it will only let me listen to them. can i down load them for sounds or are they not ready yet or what.
-
ooohh and when is the KI84 going to come out
-
ya now u put all those sound files in the "sound" files under your aces high files that in ur program files... I know it sounds confusing but this is were u put them:
1.Go to MY computer
2. click on program files
3. now go to the file that reads "HTC"
4. in there there is another file that ses Aces High
5. in the AH file theres another file that reads "sounds"... put all ur sound files in here AFTER u have "UNWINWARIZED" them...
hope this helps...
-
ya i finnaly got the sounds to work but when i click on the pratt engine and the other 1 i can only listen to them it wont let me download the file and place it any where. does this happen to u guys too or can u down load it.
cause like i go the the page and click to down load the engines but it will come to a thing where i can only listen to them.
-
ok like 5 months ago u said the corsair sounds would come up. but i dont see and corsair sounds. does any 1 else have them.
-
ok it looks like people dont know where to get WinRar from here the link to the English download...
WinRar English (http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar36b6.exe)
ok all you have to do to unzip the files is to right click and click on "Extract files...". Search for the Aces High II directory (default C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\). Go into the "sounds" folder (default C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\sounds) Extract here! (do NOT go any deeper then this or it will not work)) and presto... the sounds should work once u open AH
Note: if u cant follow these instructions dont bother with the sound mods
-
Well guys, I've got a whole set of Corsair and P-47 sounds ready to upload, but there's one small problem...
...Time Warner screwed me over, so I no longer have cable service. For the rest of this month, I only have 56k, and I can't even think of uploading any sounds. I'll be getting AT&T's 6.0mbps ADSL package next month, so don't worry too much.
-
ohhh mannnnnnnn i cant wait darrrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnn i want thoughs corsair packs
-
i sorta feel sorry for u Fruda... but at the same time i dont... cuz ive been stuck on dialup ever since ive got a comp... and i dont even get to dialup to 56.0... 28.0 feels like a luxury to me.... im stuck @ good ol 24.0... :furious... but i kno u can upload the files, ive uploaded 10MB file easy enough, only thing that stops me from doing bigger files is the cache, and i cant change that w/ messin round w/ the registry, so all u need to do is start the upload before u go to bed and it will be done in the mornin... or u can wat till u get high speed bak, either way... ill download the soundpack :aok
-
The thing he forgot to mention was he's so happy about it because he's getting high speed internet this week. And it will be running around next week.:rolleyes:
-
Id b happier if i had it now but wat can u do?
-
Me, I can do nothing, considering im 1,000 miles away from you!:lol
-
well learn how to do sumthin Golly-geenit!! :furious :cry
-
Okay, i'll go to area 51 and steal the "secret" project "Moses". It's called "telle-port". Made by AT&T:lol
-
How do i get the "chute" and "train" sound to work in the game?????????????????????????:huh :huh :huh
-
Well guys, I'll have to rebuild my sounds from the ground up.
Apparently, the headphones I used to test the latest batch of sounds (note that I never uploaded them) were very low-fi... As a consequence, the sounds themselves were particularly bad when played on speakers.
As for when I'll start working on them, I'm not sure, as I work Monday through Friday. I don't have as much free time as I used to, so I use it for more entertaining things nowadays.
I'll attempt work on some new 109 sounds in a week or two. In the meantime, you'll just have to occupy yourselves with other sound packs (or my older ones).
-
I've been working on some brand-new sounds for a few days, and I'm really liking the results. Hopefully, I'll be uploading some new packs very soon.
-
Okay people, I just uploaded five new sound packs to my site.
Bf 109
F4U Corsair
P-47
P-51
Spitfire
All packs contain sound files for each plane in the series.

Awsome work Fruda I LOVE the Pony both B and D great work!!! look forward to more in the future.

hey fruda how do i get the pratt engine as my engine for the f4u????
also the f4u engine doesnt sound like the engine i hear on matchbox?
what do i do?

All you have to do is unzip the packs into the AH/sounds folder, and you're set. Now, I'm not quite sure what you mean by the whole matchbox (what?) thing...
-
ok, I'm sure this is awesome stuff, Fruda, but I can't access your site. Everytime I attampt to access it, it brings me to the homepage... But these sounds... UGH need em!
-
My daily transfer of 1gb has been exceeded, since so many of you guys have visited to site and downloaded the packs.
Just wait until tomorrow... I know that sounds stupid, but I don't have a mirror to host the packs for times like this, so that's all that can be done at the moment.
-
well when i hit the pratt engine all i can do is listen to it. i cant download it or save it to the dictionary.
what i ment by the other thing is, is that i listen to the stuff of matchbox music. but it sounds way different then when i play it on AH. now all the other sounds are the same.
-
I'll be more than glad to mirror them for you,no limitations on downloads.

thanks creton now how do I do that? :)

Oh, so Matchbox is a music player... I didn't know, sorry about the misunderstanding.
There's a reason why the sounds are a bit different in-game than when played "raw". It's the way Aces High II's sound system is, and because it's so low-tech, it just transposes the sounds to (attempt to) fit the pitch of each aircraft's engine... It really doesn't work that well, but that's what we'll have to live with until the game adopts a system similar to Flight Simulator (config files for sound pitch and duration).

Go for it. I need all the bandwidth I can get, seeing how popular my sound packs seem to be now.

Thank you for letting our squad host these.I'll load them up tonight after work.

Download available at Frudas Dedicated Sound Packs (http://www.badcompanysquad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=99)

I've fixed the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 and Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, and the flight-tested results are more than satisfactory.
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
-
they still sound the same on AH.
-
ohh wait never mind they are good
-
I'm currently updating the engine sounds for my existing sound packs, as I've found some better source files for a few of them (DB605 and P&W R-2800). Along with that, I've found that transposing the engine waves by +4 semitones fixes the slow engine sound issue.
And with all of this, I'm in the process of making FW-190 and Lavochkin packs. Keep in mind that the M-82 radial engine was basically a copy of the BMW 801, and sounds virtually identical. I'll be using the same Eng file for both, as AHII's sound system displays the engine sounds differently for each aircraft, making it sound as it should.
-
I've been working on Pratt & Whitney R-1800 and Wright R-1800 series engine sounds with some great results, and the same goes for my Junkers Jumo sounds (both piston and jet). On top of that, my Allison sounds are coming along quite nicely (default and turbo supercharged).
I'm slowly working toward releasing multiple packs at once, so as I've said before, just hang in there.
-
Do I have to buy this? please.
-
Just click the link (http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda) and download the packs you want.
-
Im new to the whole "download sound packs" thing, I click the link, I click save, I save it to Program files/HTC/Aces High II/sounds is that right?
if so, what do I do after that? am I done?
-
Hey Spikes!!
Take the old sound pack and put it in a safe place like you desktop and replace it with the new.
c ya!:aok
-
Thanks for the sounds Sir they add lot of fun to the game for me.
-
Okay guys, I might start working on the sounds again in a few weeks. That's the most I can give at the moment, as I burned myself out (again).
Like I said, it's hard work, and I'm doing it for free. :p
-
I just finished work on my new Rolls Royce Merlin engine sounds, and I'll begin testing them in the game.
Along with that, I'll be reworking all of the other sounds (guns, flaps, gear, etc.) so that everything goes together smoothly.
-
sweeet, i cant wait. thanks :aok
-
Great news: I just completed a series of Mitsubishi Ha-45 radial engine sounds for the Ki-84. Along with that, I have the accompanying gun, flaps, and gear sounds to go with them.
I should have some packs up by tomorrow.

-
Er, make that Nakajima Ha-45... Sorry about the fudge there.
-
I'm getting some unwanted distortion out of my internal Merlin engine sounds, and I'm also reworking the internal Engstart file so it will conform with the external one.
I expect to release both P-51 and Spitfire packs simultaneously, so it'll be a few more days. Please be advised that I don't currently have any (decent) Check6 sounds for British, Japanese, and Italian aircraft, so I won't be including any.
-
Any word on when your uploading them?

So far I've done the P-51's and Spitfires, all zipped into two different packs. These are of the highest quality possible, and I'll be updating as soon as I get more source material.
My next project is a P-38/Me 109 pack... Look out for it, as it may come sooner than you expect :aok .
http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda
Go here to get the P-51 and Spitfire packs. They're in .RAR format and shouldn't take long to download.

I just got a new hard drive, and I still have all of my files intact (I didn't need to get rid of my old drive after all --- it'll be a backup from here on out). I'll begin adding the final touches to my first batch of sounds most likely tonight, and if I feel like it, they might be done either tonight or tomorrow night.

All you have to do is extract the folders to your AH/sounds folder, and that's that.
-
The moment you've been waiting for is almost here... It would've been here, but my host site seems to be undergoing maintenance. Oh well, at least I can offer some info on what I've done.
I've completed four sound packs in full: Chance Vought F4U Corsair, North American P-51 Mustang, Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, and Supermarine Spitfire, all with true-to-life sounds, from guns to engines (though it's really mostly about the engines, isn't it?). All sounds are formatted to sound exactly as they should, so the engines will drown out most of the other sounds, though you'll still be able to hear your flaps and gear deploying. If you listen closely.
Since I can't upload, I might rework my Bf-109 sounds before I upload these... But don't hold your breath. It's arduous work, and it takes a lot of time and patience.
Do keep in mind that these sounds, for the highest level of authenticity possible, are optimised for hardware soundcards on the level of the Audigy 2 (read: lots and lots of frequency pickups). So, if your sound card (or on-board chip) doesn't have a very high signal-to-noise ratio, you might hear some clipping. I'm on AC'97, and they sound fine, though I'm not too sure about any lesser chips.
-
The latest sound packs have been released --- refer to the topic post for the website link.
-
Fruda! Great work!!:aok
I'm using your 4 newest packs, and they are fantastic! I'll keep checking for the ones you've done previously once you get you site up.
-
Thanks for the great work, the engine sounds are fantastic!
-
I am trying to DL these sound packs, but the link is not allowing me access to the site. I've even tried clicking links on diffrent pages to the same site with no luck. ANy ideas? I am have no other issues with IE, I've checked every way I can.

nice work!
-
Fruda, I love the P-51 packs. Obviously since I fly those 90% of the time, I appreciate the effort and work to put such a nice set of sounds togather.
Ok now that I smoozed ya, I got a couple questions! :lol
What is the EngI sound for?
And in flight about every 4 to 5 seconds there is a metalic bang that happens, it increases and decreases with the engine noise, what is that? It does not seem part of ENG..

Not sure what the metallic bang is, as I've never heard it... This is the first time I've even heard about it. Funky.
Anyway, every sound ending in I is an Internal sound. The default sounds are External recordings. Since AHII doesn't have a very spiffy sound engine, you have to switch between either External or Internal sounds, depending on which ones you prefer.
And yes, those Internal sounds are authentic, just as the External ones are.
-
Thanks.
I guess a metalic "strum" would be more descriptive. Its about 4 or 5 seconds. 4 seconds would make it when the ENGI repeats. Might be mysound card hiccupping.
Figured the sounds were authentic, never questioned that. :aok
-
I am terrible at downloading things and saving them. How do I download the p47 soundpack without screwing it up. :rolleyes:
Thanks
Thing
-
It'll be a while before I get to working on the sounds again, as there are more important things that I have to spend my money on right now (I can't yet afford $15 a month *plus* $120 for a new GPU).
That said, keep waiting and new packs will be done... Eventually.
-
Hi Fruda,
Thanks to you and the others who put their time into these sound packs. I like your spit 8 sounds but noticed the engine start seems to be a bit short. It sounds like it has already started by the time the smoke billows and prop turns over. I was wondering if I got a bad download or if it is just my system? I am on a really slow laptop right now. Also, does anyone have any tutorials on creating sound files? I can't seem to find anything on the BBS. Well, just curious, thanks again.

I'm betting it's your slow computer, as I formatted all of the sounds to go well over the normal engstart file's runtime (8.765 seconds).
-
Roger, thanks, think you're right. Thanks again.
-
any download links that are active I tried a couple but they no longer exist.
I'm very happy with my current hybrid sounds but would like to see if Frudas engine noises for the spit and pony are better?
-

Sitesled often does maintenance. The links are working again, so get the Mustang and Spit packs. You'll love the real sound of the Merlins and Griffon (no plural there, as only one plane in the whole set uses a Griffon).
-
Fruda:
Thanks! I have been waiting for your packs to become available again. I was curious of on thing: for the guns and engine sounds you have the regular sound like sound.wav and then a soundi.wav. What is the difference (other than they sound different)?
-

sounds with an I at the end are internal recordings, so if you want that truly "in the cockpit" experience, rename all of the normal sounds (for example, Eng becomes EngX), and then take the I off of each internal sound. It's much, much different.
-
Fruda,
Your Engine on/off sounds are truly superb!
Thanks for your hard work and effort getting them done. Thanks for the I explanation aswell that helps.

:salute
-
Why is this thread no longer stickied?
Edit: Never mind, it was a problem with my browser. Weird.
-
Well, things are (slowly) picking up, so in a few more months, I should be working on sounds again.
I know, I know, it's a long time, but it's better than never working on them again. It's just that I have to spend money on items of higher priority before my computer gets anything extra. Even so, if things go better than expected, I might even be able to work on sounds again within the next few weeks.
Be patient, there will be more. Eventually.
-
Fruda, would be great if you can find some Axis stuff, I have most of the allied rides sounding superb thanks to several different packs.
I guess there is limited japanese and german material.
-
Fruda needs to make some more sounds! These are definitely the best sounds.. except for the stall ones, needs to be constant instead of clicking.. had to grab stallsound from some other pack. flap sounds are a bit low too I find.
-
I'm fairly certain that the USAAF aircraft had stall clickers, not buzzers. And as for the flap sounds, they're meant to be lower in the mix so as to convey a better sense of realism. Having everything up front in the mix reduces the effect of being in the cockpit, so I never have every sound at 100% volume.
Regarding Axis aircraft, the material available is either really bad, really bland, from completely different aircraft, or was recorded and cut so poorly that there's no way to make a decent sound file out of it. I do have complete sound sets for the Messerschmitts (even the 262), though I haven't quite gotten around to completing my work on them. The FW-190s are a different story, as there are authentic sounds for them, but it takes a long time to find the source material and piece it all together, especially for the Dora... So, a 190 set shouldn't be that far off.
But for the Japanese aircraft, it's not so easy. I've got authentic sounds for the Mitsubishi aircraft, though not complete sets. The Ki-61 uses the DB601, so it naturally sounds the same as a Bf-109F-4. The Ki-84, though, is a different story... The engine is similar to the Pratt & Whitney R-2800, yet it's much smaller and has about the same power output. I've got a few recordings that say they're authentic, but the information given is dubious at best, and the sound quality is bordering on pathetic. The best I can do for the Japanese aircraft that use the engine that's in the Ki-84 (don't remember the name off hand) is do more research, and find some source material that's at least close to authentic.
All of this being said, I've got complete sounds for virtually the entire planeset (save for the Typhoon and Tempest, as there's pretty much a complete lack of source material for them, oddly enough). It just takes time and effort to get everything done with the exact level of quality that is necessary, and have every sound normalised on the same basic scale I use for added depth (loud engines, loud guns, lower flaps and gears, etc.). It's a long and sometimes annoying process, but it's worth it, and you'll see that firsthand when I release my bomber pack (there's a very specific way bomber engine sounds have to be normalised so that they're displayed properly --- if the Eng file is at 100% for a four-engine bomber, the engine sounds combined will be very muddy and distorted, and it's similar for two-engine aircraft; this means that when the sound files are properly normalised, you get that distinctive "roar" that only multi-engine aircraft make).
And when I'm done with the planeset, I might venture into GV sounds.
-
Um... where can I get the sounds? None of the links work...
-
www.sitesled.com/members/fruda (http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda)
For some reason, the links that have been given in this thread have been transformed into links to the Custom Sounds and Skins frontpage. I'm guessing it has something to do with all of the recent forum maintenance.
-
Fruda are we having anymore sound packs? :aok awesome work by the way
-
More will be coming, don't worry. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when.
Though it won't be too long from now.
-
Like everyone else fruda, I have to say WTG on the sounds! Ranger does a fine job and I like his. I love Mistus blast sounds, his aircraft sounds make me feel like Im on the wing.
As a pilot, Id have to say yours sound the most lifelike. Keep up the good work. Dont rush anything. We wont accept anything other than perfection.

Thanks.
Perfection is the reason I release my sounds in small packages, and it's also the reason it takes so long for me to finish them. Making perfect loops, cleaning up source material, and mixing all of the files to sound as they should is pretty tough work, as I aim to standardise all of my material so that it has a flow to it.
-
I just downloaded your packs and they do sound really good. Are there any others besides the Corsair, P51s, P47s, and Spitfires?

Okay people, I just uploaded five new sound packs to my site.
Bf 109
F4U Corsair
P-47
P-51
Spitfire
All packs contain sound files for each plane in the series.
www.sitesled.com/members/fruda (http://www.sitesled.com/members/fruda)apparently u cant upload links dude lol . Ive been chasing around on these forums forever looking for a good link. You say that 38s and 109s are ready for download when i click link , shows me the same old ones i got . F4 , p51 , spit , and jug , thats it where the 38 ??? and 109
-
I had some 38 and 109 packs, but this is no longer the case. The ones I'm working on now will be up sometime; the exact time, I'm not sure. This isn't an easy process, especially when one is as busy as I am.
I do know for a fact that I took down those 38 and 109 packs a long time ago.
-
Just out of curiosity, why did you remove them?
Thanks for your other soundpacks, by the way. They are awesome! :rock
-

I felt they weren't quite up to the standards of the others, and would do no good remaining on my site. I think I made the right decision.
-
Dr. Fruda, ( :))
Skuzzy said that custom sounds can degrade your systems performance and chomp on CPU. Would you know if your sounds are
more or less better than the others in the regard?
-
The performance hit is completely unnoticeable, unless you have a computer from the last century.
Aces High II's default sounds are 22khz, 16-bit, mono. My sounds are exactly the same --- the only difference being there are different sounds for every aircraft. There is no precache for sounds on AHII, so each individual sound has to be loaded on its own. Like I said, the performance hit goes totally unnoticed, unless you're rolling like it's 1999.
-
Hey Fruda, I'm still enjoying your sound packs immensely, thanks a lot for the hard work. Mind if I ask if you have anything up your sleeve for the near future?
Oh, and I was wondering if you could make it so that the interior sounds are the default instead of the exterior ones perhaps? I love how realistic the interior sounds are, but it really takes quite some time to change all of the titles. I'm not sure how everyone else feels about it though. However, I'm sure you have your reasons that they are the way they are, just thought I'd ask. :aok
-
I have the external sounds as the default ones simply because it improves the ambience. The in-cockpit sounds are more realistic when you're in flight, sure, but when you're on the ground or in a GV, the external sounds make that big of a difference. I just wish they'd update the sound system on AHII so that we could have both sound types at once.
As far as working on new packs at the moment, no, not so much. I'm pretty busy with a lot of stuff (important stuff), so AHII is pretty far back on the list at the moment.
-
Oooh gotcha, that makes sense! :aok
Understandable, just thought I'd ask. :)

Where can i get this download? For whatever reason i can't find site?

Ok guys, I recently did something really big in my life (a move to Philly, no less), and once everything's situated and I have enough money, I'm going to build a new computer and start working on sounds again. For the time being, I only have a laptop that's to be used as an internet and music machine, no more, no less. Don't think I've given up on you guys, because I haven't.

Good to hear! No rush, I'm still loving the sounds you already made! :aok
-
I just got a decent job, so it shouldn't be too long before I can afford a decent computer and AHII again. I should be back before the end of the year if all goes well.
-
Good to here hope you like the cold here on the east coast this year.
-
Heh, it's nothing. I did happen to live in Colorado for a bit back in the late 90s.
-
I'll be getting a new computer very soon, so I'll be back to Aces High before year's end... And hopefully before summer's end.
I haven't given up my work on sounds, either. There will be more packs coming.
-
I can't get to your page Frauda it says"internet explorer cannot display the webpage" when i click on that link to the page
-
Looks like sitesled.com is down.
-
I guess so because i cant get to it
-
Good thing I saved his files.
-
all you need to do is cut/paste the link from the very first post. I just DL'd all four packs.
-
Sitesled still seems to be down, Fruda. Any chance you'd be willing to see what's up? I just re-installed AH and lost all the sounds! :cry
-
Sorry for not being here in a while, but anyway, here I am.
Sitesled is working (I just downloaded my packs and tested them --- everything's fine), so no troubles there. They often do maintenance and whatnot, so if the site appears to be down at any time, just give it a day or so and it should be fine.
Some exciting news... I'll be buying a new computer come mid-October, one that is more than capable of playing AHII (and smoking it with max settings), so I'll be back on the sound scene. Lavochkins and Yaks will probably come first in my series of new packs, though I'm thinking of reworking everything from the ground up... Though that may not be necessary, unless new, even higher-quality source files can be found.
Yeah, and I'm still waiting for the dev team to get to work on a new sound engine... Until then, switching between internal/external sounds based on preference is still necessary. *grumblegrumblegrumble*
-
Glad to hear :aok.
-
can't wait to hear them Fruda!
yours have always been the better ones IMHO :D
-
Sounds great!
-
Due to a small bump in the road (unexpectedly large bills, namely), I won't be getting my new computer until at least November, so it'll be a while longer still before I can work on any new sounds.
-
I hope everything goes well for you mate. :salute
-
Yeah, things have to settle down a bit before I can buy a new computer.
My toilet exploding earlier today was yet another bump in the road. Again, have no worries. I'll be back.
-
Not the man's basic necessity! :O Poor Fruda is without a toilet!
In all seriousness, I hope things go more smoothly for you in your future. Keep on keepin' on, Fruda :salute
-
Yeah, it was lots of fun, going three days without a toilet... Not to mention damn near flooding my bathroom.
-
Well, good people, I finally have a new computer.
I'll begin redoing sounds (as well as playing AH2) in a week or so, if not sooner.
-
Good to hear Fruda. Your sound pack rocks! :rock
-
And so does my new setup. Cost just over $4k. :P
-
And so does my new setup. Cost just over $4k. :P
:( I want it.
-
Glad to see you back :aok
-
I've been working on my sounds for the past couple of hours tonight while the laundry's getting done, and I've made plenty of progress.
Expect new packs... Soonish.
-
Cant wait!
-
I've still got quite a ways to go on the next round of packs, but I've got the basics down.
Most of the aircraft have been given sounds, so what's the next step? Making sure they all work correctly with extensive flight testing. Think of it as quality control, as flight testing shows whether or not engine sounds loop properly (sadly, my audio editors don't always do the job), if flaps and gear sounds are of the right length, and if gun sounds fit with the particular gun's rate of fire. And for this series of packs, I've decided to up the realism even more and make the internal recordings the default sounds, with the external ones as switch-in/switch-out files.
I was hoping to have some packs out last week, but since I'm such a perfectionist, I couldn't let the little annoyances slide. But, it'll be worth the wait.
-
Fruda,
If you want a beta tester, feel free to give me a shout.
-
Progress update?
-
Progress has been extra slow because of real life stuff. I'm hoping to change the course of events in a few weeks and get a pack or two out on my site, but you never know what's going to happen.
-
Alright, another little update.
I won't be working on any sounds until I move into a new place. I've been having a lot of difficulties with a very... Challenging roommate. Said roommate is challenging in many ways; the biggest challenge being him almost never paying his half of the rent. I've had to put up with so much from him and life in general that I just haven't had time for Aces High, much less making sound packs. That said, I'm reasonably hopeful that I'll be back to work sometime in the near future, and with the advent of the new sound engine, I'll be able to do a total revision of my sounds from the ground-up.
Yeah, it'll take a while, but things that take the most time are worth the most time. Have no worries. I'll be back.
-

Good things to those who wait! :banana:
Have had one of 'those' roommates before. :furious Quite..... fun. The best of luck!
-
Hey Fruda, I clicked the link that was on your first post and DLed the things there, they are awesome, but do I need to update?
-
im starting to love these sound packs ever since i got em =) good work fruda and keep it up! :airplane: :devil
-
how do i get the new packs :cry
-
I'm not entirely sure the server for the files that I uploaded still exists.
I think that should tell everyone enough in itself: I'm no longer maintaining my old sounds. What was good years ago isn't good anymore; I don't feel ashamed of the work (entirely the contrary, because remastering and clean looping all of these sounds for Aces High II's old audio engine was a huge pain), but I really do feel it's not up to par at this point in time. If there is better source material out there that isn't copyrighted, I'll be more than glad to do more work and get some really decent sounds uploaded again. It's a lot of work, though, and even more so when I make it a point to verify that the sounds are authentic. No point in making sounds for a PW R-2800 that come from who knows what. I'd love to get some gear and record aircraft sounds myself, but that's very expensive, considering the grade of equipment I would need for such a job. No way can I afford anything of the sort right now.
I could always find some source material one aircraft at a time and release finished work at an add-in basis... But to be honest, I don't even remember what standard the new audio engine has for aircraft sounds. Stereo? 44khz? I really have no idea.
-
Got a hair up my (this was supposed to be a three letter word, and it got turned into "bellybutton" --- er, what...) and decided to do some testing. Results?
Merlin pack complete, full engine run in stereo 22.1khz. Internal and external as usual. I'll upload as soon as everything is 100% clean.
-

Stereo.... :cry :bolt:
-
And the problem with stereo is...? It sounds great on my system.
They can always be mixed down to mono for people who don't have decent setups.

skuzzy himself dosen't recommend stereo with direct 3D.
-
Odd. Shows how up to date I am, I guess.
In that case, I'll mix down the stereo files to mono so they work properly. I'll leave the stereo files as an option, of course.
-
Pratt & Whitney R2800 sounds complete.
Again, I won't be uploading any packs until I can find a stable place to keep them, not to mention it will have to be after I test them to make sure they have no issues.
-
Found some excellent freeware Rolls Royce Griffon sounds. I'll be completing a Griffon pack soon.
-
Griffon sound pack complete.
Griffon sounds are more than suitable for Typhoon/Tempest use along with the Spitfire Mk.XIV, as there are no genuine, high quality recordings of a Napier Sabre engine; incidentally, the only recordings I've found that are low quality at best sound *very* similar to the Griffon. Little nuances, but nothing to complain about.
-
Flight testing Merlin, Griffon, and R-2800 sounds for final mixing. R-1830 (also suitable for R-1820) sounds under development as well. DB-600 series sounds are under development; more source material has been acquired, so a full pack may be done sooner than I had thought.
-
BMW 801 pack for radial FW-190s is now complete. Never thought I'd find adequate source material, but wow! Flight testing now.
BMW 132 (powers the Ju-52) pack is under development with the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 (the latter is suitable for use in aircraft that use the Wright R-1820; no discernible sound difference, so why not?). DB600 series is... Still under development, though I only need one more sound file (internal idle) to complete it. Keep in mind that the DB600 series pack is suitable for use in aircraft that are powered by the Junkers Jumo-210/211, as the engines are almost identical.
-
Looking for a hosting server now. Packs completed and ready for upload are as follows.
Rolls Royce Merlin
Rolls Royce Griffon
Daimler-Benz 600 Series
BMW 801
Pratt & Whitney R-2800
Each pack includes Engx, Engi, Engstartx, Engstarti, Engoffx, and Engoffi. Engx2 and Engi2 are included as well, which are transposed to 5 semitones over, so that the engine sound is displayed properly in-game (for some reason, AH's sound engine lowers Eng sounds by five semitones, so they sound a lot lower & slower than they're supposed to). Base Eng, Engstart, and Engoff are all internal sounds; the base Eng sound is the transposed, corrected sound file.
I included both internal and external sounds in the hope that HTC will update the game's sound engine so both can be used; before that happens, you have a choice between hearing what the aircraft sound like right in the cockpit, or what they sound like outside the cockpit. Internal sounds for multi-engine aircraft are mixed according to the engines being mounted on the wings, so it's quite a bit different than what you hear in the cockpit from a front-mounted fuselage engine.
You won't get any closer to the real thing in Aces High, at least until the sound engine is updated.

But i have a quick question, why is the n1k in the BMW pack?
-
:O :aok I like the 109s!! :salute
One thing I would love to hear is the whistling sound of the wind passing over the gun barrels and into the intake.
-
Yea the 190s sound amazing this is what I call a sound pack <S> fruda for best sounds.
-
Oh... Erm, woops. Just replace the Ki84 and N1K files with those from any R2800 powered aircraft. Sorry, fudge on my part. I was in such a rush to get everything done that I spaced on it.
I'll fix the archives when I get home from work tonight and upload again.

I'm thinking about making an effects pack, so if I do, I'll certainly get a proper Bf109 wind sound to put in it. As it stands, I have accurate F4U, P51, and Spitfire wind sounds, among others.

Totally forgot about the P-40F. Since it wasn't included in the Merlin pack, just copy/paste the Merlin sounds to your P40F folder, and you're set. That being said, the Allison V-1710 (plus turbosupercharged P-38 variant) pack has been completed! Links to the updated Merlin and new Allison packs are below.

-
Does Aces High use different engine sounds for when you're sitting in the cockpit than if you were standing on the runway in a chute or sitting in the tower? Or does the game only use 1 engine sound for everything? I would love to hear 109's flying overheard as I sit in the tower that sound like this! http://youtu.be/_a_TETqe1Cg?t=2m7s
I love that whistle! :O
Just amazing work on the sounds Fruda. Love the way my 38 sounds now! :x :aok :salute

I'm not entirely sure if my head was on straight with that last post, but the B-26 is in the R-2800 folder... Which I forgot to upload. Wow. Such things happen when you're trying to rush like mad and you're multitasking. At any rate, no, the updated B26B folder is not in the 1830/1820 pack.

YAY! :x :aok :salute
-
I have been rocking these since the first day you released them Fruda there brill thanks for the time and effort you put in :salute
-
Thanks.
My eventual plan is to be able to record these engines myself, simultaneously inside and outside the cockpit, rather than search for freeware sounds to remix for AHII. Granted, the equipment won't be cheap (wide diaphragm vacuum tube condenser microphones fed to a vacuum tube power amplifier which itself feeds to a laptop mixing station), but the results would be phenomenal. Of course, using such hardware, every recording would be referenced at 32-bit, 192khz stereo, kept in a secure archive from which down sampled, remixed copies could be made.
Once everything is mixed and packaged, I think it would be entirely acceptable to make the sounds free for everyone. Think of it as a kind of museum format, where anyone can experience what it sounded like for the pilots who flew during the war on all sides.

Effects Pack (http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/11776645/file.html)
I have to say that it's amazing how much more definition my speakers have than the headphones I've been using for mixing. A lot of these artifacts aren't apparent when using said headphones, but as soon as I use my speakers, there they are. As of this update, all loop artifacts appear to be fixed. As far as my Effects pack is concerned, I realise that the flap and gear sounds don't play properly on some aircraft. To remedy this, I am currently looking for source material for aircraft-specific flap and gear sounds.
Edit: While attempting to delete obsolete packs, Zippyshare's strange interface caused me to delete everything. Eeeaaaagh. All packs have been uploaded again.
-
I don't know what it is, but maybe working so much on these sounds has diminished my ability to hear loop artifacts when I'm working. When I take a break and come back, I hear more. Anyway, with that being said, another update.

I felt it was easily the weakest pack of the set; I took it upon myself to dig through more source material and found some better clips to work with. I have kept some of the sounds from the original pack, but they've been reworked and cleaned up so they're much smoother, while sounding more powerful.

:aok
thanks for the hard work

Jumo pack done away with; reverted back to proper DB600 series sound usage. More still, this Daimler-Benz update comes with a special surprise. Find out after installing... Let's just say it's a cut above the previous offerings.

File not found with the Junkers...anyone else having problem?

Same problem with Junkers. Get file does not exist

As I said before, I went back to the original format. Jumo-powered aircraft are represented by the DB600 series pack.

Final update for core Daimler-Benz engine sounds. Much smoother and more detailed than previous update; this will be my definitive DB600 series pack update.

I have to say that it's a shame Aces High doesn't allow multiple sounds for complete engine runs. All of my packs are complete engine runs before being formatted for AHII; what a difference it would make if we could hear the aircraft inside and out at all RPM levels...
-
Time to make a wish to HTC for better sound engine. :)
:aok

Always a lot of talk about graphics. Better sound, that would go a long way.

Daimler-Benz and Griffon packs updated. As it stands, the DB600 pack as of this upload will be the ultimate final version, as there is nothing in the way (as far as I can see at the moment) of better source material for it. The same currently stands for the Griffon pack, though it has to be said that if better source material is found, these will not be final versions. The way I see it, everything is ultimately a work in progress until absolute perfection is achieved.

BMW 801 Pack updated. The internal engine file was not displayed properly (pitch was too high by 0.5 semitones). This has been corrected.

I've downloaded the RR Merlin pack, but it won't play on my PC with Microsoft Media Player. What program is supposed to be used to preview the sounds? Do I need to download another program?
-
Have you extracted the files?
-
Yeah I had to download WinRar to extract them. They all sound great!

It's working fine. You need to use the most recent links in the past couple of pages. My old material is (thankfully) no longer accessible.

So there is less confusion, I've added all appropriate download links below.

As I have yet to find authentic, free source material for the Jumo 211/213 (that being said, I can't even find payware source material), the DB600 series works as a more than adequate placeholder.

Wright R-3350 Pack uploaded. Genuine R-3350 sounds for the B-29.

Rolls Royce Merlin Pack updated.

Fixed a lack of bass intensity in the cockpit sounds. The new sounds have much more authority than the previous version.
-
Rolls Royce Griffon Pack updated.
Rolls Royce Griffon Pack (http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/96164772/file.html)
Fixed a pitch error with the external engine sound; drastically improved the quality of the internal sounds.
-
Daimler-Benz sounds updated.
Daimler-Benz DB600 Pack (http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/73490961/file.html)
Source material had internal startup/shutdown and idle/1500rpm sounds recorded with cockpit windows open. Gentle high cuts and reverb processing were used to fix this.
-
R-2800 and Griffon packs updated.

Rolls Royce Griffon Pack (http://www24.zippyshare.com/v/65668074/file.html)
Cleaned up the startup/shutdown sounds for the R-2800; cleaned up the internal engine sound for the Griffon, which displayed a definite loop artifact.

Fixed a click in the loop of the Eng sound file for the DB600, and fixed the missing inertia starter in the reworked R-2800 startup sound.
-
Fruda,,,can't get to your website. any new links?
Use the latest links in these last few pages. Think of these threads as a sort of Source Forge development process. Once I feel that this series of packs is absolutely without need for improvement, I will start a new thread and denote final pack versions.
-
This confuses me. What happened to the pretty little, easy to follow, folder names? :(
What goes where? :headscratch: (It's the same with the 2800)

Oh. Ahem.
Accidentally uploaded my FSX packs. Not sure how it happened, since Zippyshare had the default upload location set to my AH packs... odd. I'll have it fixed. Don't delete what you downloaded, though. It's a nice preview in case you ever get FS2004 or FSX. Notice how smooth the transitions are between RPM levels.
That being said, it's amazing what you can miss when you haven't eaten all day.

Do I have to download all the stupid freeware garbage to get the Merlin Sound Pack? I can't seem to get the .rar to DL without some stupid ad popup. I miss when the internet was simple! :)

I cant get these files
-
I've been away for quite some time, and it looks like my files have expired on Zippyshare. I'll be uploading them again soon.

Sorry, your down load page cannot be found it says!

You should use a different file sharing site, zippyshare seems like a PITA
-
Fruda, have there been any updates to your sound pack?
ack-ack
-
I'll see if I can get around to finding a less painful place to host these files.
As far as updates, none yet. Still going on with a hiatus, but when I do get back into it, there's really not much left for me to add. Ideally, HTC will rework the audio engine from the ground up so I can release my reference materials as packs themselves, rather than majorly downgrading everything just so it works properly in the game.
Whether or not they'll actually do this is anyone's guess.

I hope these sounds will get hosted again, I'd really love to experience them :rock
