DeepDrummer Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 I didn't realize that a creative trial had trashed 2 of my channels in my system until I went to use my mixer. Not to mention, I often run with the sound down while listening to music. I uninstalled re-installed my sound blaster drivers and did not install any of their trial software. Until now, I had no idea how amazing the Spitfire sounds were. I just took off and the change in sound when the wheels lift off is pure heaven. Excuse me while I CRANK IT UP. *climbing to altitude now* ;) Thank you to all responsible. Very nice! Win 10 pro 64 bit. Intel i7 4790 4 Ghz running at 4.6.

Art-J Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 The only problem with these is they're very quiet (the in-cockpit-closed-canopy samples I mean), noticeably more quiet than in remaining warbirds for some reason. Have to take a look at relevant .lua files and see what can be done about it. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Have to take a look at relevant .lua files and see what can be done about it. Anything over 1/4 on my volume control is too loud with my system. It would be nice to tone down the interior just a hair for sure. I often thought a volume slider for the engine would help too. I get confused with what to slide for what so I leave them all maxed except music which is off. It's workable enough for me. I generally stream music while flying so it is a fine balance for sure.

Nealius Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Seconded on Jafa's sound mods. I love the popping noise with rapid reduction in throttle. I've been dying to capture external videos of his sound mod, but the Spitfire's replays are always trash so I never get the chance.

I've been dying to capture external videos of his sound mod, but the Spitfire's replays are always trash so I never get the chance. I tried it long ago. It sounded ok. The current DCS sounds please me just as much or more. I have since my mod days done a complete uninstall and re-install and swore to never touch another user mod again for various reasons. Rock stock from now on for me. User mods are what drove me away from X-plane and back to DCS. Some are good like Jaffa's possibly is and some are not so good.

Some mods are great. I am just a bit peeved about mods that cause me problems and errors. I am extremely happy now. I will attempt to stay that way. Just saying thanks for the great stock sounds.

Magic Zach Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Are sound mods multiplayer/integrity check compatible? Also, do they need to be re-installed after every patch?Yes, and no, if you have JSGME or OvGME Hardware: T-50 Mongoose, VKB STECS, Saitek 3 Throttle Quadrant, Homemade 32-function Leo Bodnar Button Box, MFG Crosswind Pedals Oculus Rift S System Specs: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS, RTX 4090, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5-3600, Samsung 990 PRO Modules: AH-64D, Ka-50, Mi-8MTV2, F-16C, F-15E, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-5E, P-51D, Spitfire Mk LF Mk.

Art-J Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Keep in mind, however, that because of dreaded sample sharing between various DCS airplanes, trying to install a few mods together might cause conflicts here and there, with mod X overwriting some samples of mod Y etc. For that reason I prefer to turn them on and off one by one (with JSGME / OvGME) depending on which plane I'm going to fly in that particular gaming session. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
