Can individual sounds be customized by the user?

In AH2 I could grab one flap sound I liked from plane x and put it in plane y's folder...

Unfortunately it's a lot harder to do in the new format.  I managed to get the 20 mm sound I wanted, but wow, it literally took two months.

If you know how to use the editor you can build your own files, but without my original files your flap sound would be the only thing different from the AH3 default.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Interesting.


Is there a reason why the new format was used?   Does it add something the old method of simple .wav files did not?

I flew past a Goon using your sound pack and it sounded fabulous, btw.

They switched to FMod because of all the features it introduces that you just couldn't have without complex programming.

If you remember the doppler shift of audio in the old system never worked right. Fly head on past my Lanc, B-17, or B24, or HTC's 262 to see what I mean. Plus, FMod allows sound files other than .wav format. The .ogg format is much smaller, so the final bank files are smaller too. Also, the FMod editor includes all the mixing features you need.

I would bet the overall processing of the .bank files for the game is much less than .wav files, which means a game that runs better.

FMod can do more than AH3 needs, which allows for more expansion and game growth.

Chalenge-

Love the sound pack! Just installed it! For some reason I had only seen this thread's title and for some reason thought this was some kind of joke where all the game sounds get replaced by the yowls of sick puppies.  :x

Getting a few of the issues already mentioned (buffet timed out) and I'm not hearing any gear or flap sounds on the Pony.
Otherwise, I'm in paradise! My favorites are definitely the P-38, P-51 (those gun sounds make it for me), Spit 9 & 16.
The Spit 16 in particular is just PURE earcandy, that Griffon sounds amazing!! Spit 9 really feels more alive with the proper sound of a Merlin.

I do wish though, that the rest of the Spitfires could have the Merlin sounds added in. I love flying them so much and the Merlin sound really completes it.

Overall, great work chalenge!

Gear and flap sounds on those are actually pretty quiet. I'm guessing hitech went with louder sounds on the generic stock sounds so you could get the audio cues. On the 51 i just watch the flaps and for the gear there are lights on the dash that will help with that.
