Duality

I must really suck then because the SAMs don't have any problems blowing me out of the sky... :)

Have you tried turning off the firewall temporarily to narrow down the issue?

I don't have BS, so I can't comment on whether or not the comms in FC2 are similar. I can say that the communication you see in the videos (at least in all the ones I have seen) is not an edit and is from in game. During the mission you will hear other flights entering / leaving the target area, conversations with forward air controllers, etc.

From what I understand, you can use the in-game configuration and not use the SST software, however I don't believe there is a way to get the game to recognize the different mode buttons. It would be nice if there was a way for it to see button A as A1 in mode one A2 in mode 2 etc. I currently use an x45 and since I do have the same button doing different things in different modes, I've stuck with the SST software for now. I started creating different SST profiles for each aircraft, but thought this would be a pain and reverted to using one profile generic enough for all of them.

I'd say its not only fixed but new sound engine is absolutely amazing. Whoever is responsible for the sound at ED needs an extra pat on the back. I was sitting on the tarmac in a multiplayer game as a Mig-29 took off with full afterburner and it was incredible. It actually made me want to just sit there all night with the cockpit open...

Griffin, Thanks for the YouTube link, those were some nice videos.
