Has anyone tried it yet? There’s been a lot of discussion over on the Simhq forums about it. It includes cockpits so that aircraft like the MS406 and Hawk 75 can be flown.
Check this to begin with very unrelated thread: http://www.europeanaf.org/forum/showthread.php?t=9703
Engines, guns, cannons etc are stunning, cockpits, who cares.
Should have dead pilots and full gore as well, if you like that sort of thing

Sorry, didn’t see the other thread. I’m determined to get hold of this. Kristorf you’re right about cockpits…as long as it isn’t really silly like some of the old EAW mods, i.e flying a Mossie with a spit cockpit etc was just to immersion killing for me. Would be cool to have a flyable Blenheim though eh? Maybe use B25 cockpit or something. I can see me making campaigns that hardly anyone else will be able to use ha.
I’ve got it, I’ve installed it, I’ve tried it.
I think it’s F**king wonderful! 
where?
BTW to anyone using this, dont try to join AW missions with the mod. running, as most hosts including myself use the checkRuntime command line.
Still I’d like to find it for my offline flying though.
Classic, check PM’s
Thanks Kris
That should be extended to include the majority of online flying, not just AW, infact I would leave the sound mod for exclusively offline flying. The “checksum” option is enabled on the vast majority of HL hosted servers.
Create a seperate IL2 install to load it into and keep a standard IL2 for online.
Still good for direct connections (IP to IP) so co-ops are still a go…
Flyable French fighters should make for some fun BOF coops, BEF Hurricanes and FAF MS 406/410. Is the P36 now flyable? I’ve always liked that crate.
Off to download
Could anyone PM the download link to me? Would like to try it.
Check PT’s
Ok so I copy and pasted the new files across and something has definitely changed as I now have a russian game, every menu is in russian, but I have not noticed any sound differences and certainly no new flyables?
are the new flyables accessible through the QMB?
I think you have unzip directly into the Il-2 1946 folder, that is what I did, and I have around 10 new flyable planes and fantastic new sounds!
But is it risky of me to use this mod online? what can happen?
Classic, I unzipped direct into my copied folder, the start screen is the Russian version, with a few ranks in the campaigns as well.
The ‘new’ AC are accesable in the QMB.
Zhibbhi, as long as the server you enter does not have checkRuntime=2 enabled you will get in, otherwise you will time-out.
Renamed the il2fb.exe and files.SFS, unzipped the mod. in the root of il2.
Had each time a pc crash when loading Aircraft 30%. Setting the sound at 44Khz solved the problem.
The sound model is great, good sound was for me the only thing what i missed before in il2. Now it is also very enjoyable to fly without enemies
And the flyby’s of twin engines … wow
Got it working, finger trouble was the issue beforehand. Not overly impressed with the sounds although they are a fantastic improvement, but that merlin flyby still fails to sound like the real thing. But the .303s just sound fantastic now, straight out of the BOB film I reckon
The sounds are a definite improvement but I’m especially pleased to be able to fly the Hawk 75 and the Moranes. BOF coops could be great with this. Will it work with DCG? Had a go with the HS129 and the Storch and the U2 as well…lots of fun. Storch lands on roads and takes off again as light as a feather. Pity it’s sort of outlawed isn’t it? Some of the mince that’s being spouted on Simhq is really getting annoying…I think the Wulfycuddles character must be getting on everyone’s nerves on both sides of the debate. He’s certainly getting on mine.
