F4U-4 wep sound

[Cajunn]

I did a search and didn't see anything about this. When I engage the WEP on the F4U's the engine sound doesn't change. I tried using sound packages and I also used the default sounds and still there is no change in the engine sound when I engage WEP. It's not a big problem but it keeps me from having to look down in fights to see if its on or off. It does work on other planes that I fly so I was wondering if there was a glitch in the F4U's.

The most noticeable change in sound in most planes is due to the RPM's raising under WEP.  Do the RPM's raise a lot in the F4U under WEP? (Don't fly F4U's a lot, so I have to ask.)  If not, then it's correct, but something your going to have to deal with on that plane.

I have noticed in a dive sometimes. its like the Wep kicks in but I guess its something I'm going to have to live with...

thanks for your reply!

I'm 99% sure the sound changes when WEP is toggled even when no extra engine performance is gained. I'm pretty sure you can demonstrate this in a P-51. Check the speed charts and take it up to the altitude where the red and black lines intersect.

I use to fly the F4U's a lot and I remember when I would engage WEP there was a noticeable change in engine sound. Well I been flying the Mustang and I decided to fly the F4U the other night and when i hit the WEP there was nothing, the Manifold gauge moved to WEP RPM's but there was no change in the sound of engine.

Pulling up this topic, as I just installed my game and having the same problems with wep sound.

And I miss the sound on other planes too, even the P51. But it's working just fine in the spitfire again.. And I have tried with and without soundpacks, and several different soundpacks with no change. Guess I have to reinstall the whole game as I have tried everything else?!

Are you running Vista? If so, did you install the game OUTSIDE of the "Program Files" folder?

I am runnning Windows XP, not vista.

Go to ur joystick control panel in windows and makesure your throttle goes to full (100%).  If it does, go in AH joystick control panel and check  and makesure it also goes to 100% throttle.  In order to engage wep, you have to be a full throttle.  If the joystick throttle doesn't hit full throttle, then recalibrate.  Could also be the pot in the joystick going bad too if all else fails.

But I do get WEP to work, its just the increase of the rpm sound that misses..

If I did not get 100% trottle it would not even wep up on the manifold instrument when I hit wep, or am I wrong here?
I am pretty sure it has to be some bug, since the sound works perfect in the spit also.
But now I made a huge mistake, tried to get help by a friend by logging in my trial account via his pc and my trial period got closed.. Even if I just had it for about 3-4 days..   

Just wanted to see if the WEP sound worked via his AH2 installation, but since I lost my trial over that I don't think I even care to give this problem any more thoughts..
