Hi Nin

Ohhh no. Sorry. Your work is excellent. I think it is not your mod at all! It should be a general problem.
I hear some buzz and "noise"-s but not the engine inside. Just after a few tries.

Strange. The dev team should fix this, not you, because you made a good work and thank you again for the efforts!!!

The sound issue is already solved, the fix should be included in the next patch.

[Nin]

 VERSION 3.1 NOW RELEASED!

 

As mentioned earlier, V3.1 fixes the issues present in the initial V3.0 release, as well as a few other tweaks & improvements. Please see the changelog in the main post at the top of this thread for details. Install recommended. 

PLEASE DELETE OLD MOD FOLDER INSIDE TECH > SAVED GAMES IF YOU HAVE UPGRADED FROM V3.0 OR EARLIER.

 

As always, any feedback or suggestions are welcome

What version are you on? Stable, OB, Standalone, Steam? I haven't come across this before...

 

Also confirm you definitely installed the "tech" folder within Saved Games, not your root DCS directory. Only the "Mods" folder should go in your root DCS directory.

 

I reinstalled it and now it works. Thanks again!

Wow, great update. Now we only need ED to release the next beta and we will be all set.

[Slice313]

Now that the sound issue has been fixed in the last beta patch, MiG-21 Sound is with your MOD.

Hello Community

Is there any MIG-21 gun sound mod?
I found this: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/132926-mig-21bis-updated-gsh-23-cannon-sound/ but the download link is broken.

Best regards,
Csaba

I have the feeling, that the sound outside is now with the new beta not so deep and cool as it was earlier. If I press the F3 for example, and the aircraft passes I hear very long a very strange high engine "unprofessional" sound, which is silent but not realistic.

Question: do I have strange feelings or the mod need really an update late?

Hi!

First of all, thanks for the mod. The difference is so huge between this and the original stock sounds. At least one person would like to fix something in the module if the developer no longer does. Just a question.  Nin, can you improve the transition between the external afterburner and military power (or less) sounds? Because a little disturbing when you turn off the afterburner the noise is disappearing without transition, like a sudden cut. 

Thank you!

Hi, I did look into doing this but unfortunately it's not possible to add a sound that plays at the end of another sound, unfortunately you can only set an initial sound, then another two which it will loop through - even though the name in the documentation and in the config of "release" suggests it plays at the end of the sound.

I will have a look, but I think the gun sound may be using the default core game sounds used by FC3 and AI aircraft - in which case changing one changes all aircraft.

I will look into this, thank you for the feedback.

Hello, Thanks for your work! Sadly, somehow I just can't get it to work. All sound are still the horrible immersion breaking default ones. I really think I placed the folders in the right directories. Does it might have something to do with the fact I didn't install DC on my c drive? Therefore the path C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta is different in my case. For the root folder in my case it is...G:/DCS World OpenBeta. Thanks in advance.

No, main DCS folder can be located on whichever drive you want, so that's not an issue. Take a closer look at the instructions again and double check if you've extracted the modded files&folders to correct locations - "mods" folder has to be extracted to your root DCS directory (G drive), while "tech" folder needs to go to separately to C:\Users\(your user name)\Saved Games\DCS.OpenBeta\mods location.

Remember that modded files in root location will be replaced with stock ones after every game update, so you'll have to repeat extracting the modded files over there again.

Thanks for your reply. I will check again but I'm quite certain I put them in the right place...or am I going crazy? So strange... 

[wiwa23]

EDIT! PROBLEM SOLVED! (Man... so frustrating... I More than triple checked the instructions and the location of the folders but somehow it just doesn’t work. What else could it be?)

 

Hehe...stupid thing that caused this... my notepad window of the readme cut of a piece. Therefore I missed the part 'mods' in the "C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta (Or just DCS World if on stable)\Mods" description. So I have put the tech folder in the wrong location... ok... a bit embaressed here ... But very glad I solved it because the mig 21 surely feels complete with this mod! This way it complements the overall excellent module! It really should be implemented as standard... the default sounds really don't do it justice...  Anyway thanks again!

Just downloaded and installed the mod. 

WOW. What a difference!

Why this isn't the default sound pack for the module is beyond me. Its absolutely fantastic. Feels like a totally different plane. The in-cockpit engine sound makes a huge improvement in immersion, and the exterior sounds are even better! That afterburner pop and the engine crackle sounds are simply exquisite. 

The only thing missing is a proper GSh-23 sound.  

Thank you so much for making this available!

… and I’ve managed to bugger it up. I had to reset my CMOS as part of a RAM upgrade, and got a code 500 authorization error message that disabled all of my modules on startup. Fixed that with a clock reset, but in the meanwhile it seems to have reverted this outstanding mod back to the default sounds. 
 

I follower uninstall README instructions and reinstalled the mod, to no avail. Now the switch sounds are completely gone, and the engine sounds are the default. 

Any suggestions short of a complete uninstall of DCS and A clean re-install? 
 

Thanks in advance!

You can easily change the weapon sound for your mod. Please check the Solution.zip

That's how you can do it. The folder "CoreMods" for the "External" sounds and sdef's. The folder "Mods" - for the "Internal".

Rename "YOUR_AIRCRAFT_NAME" folders to your aircraft name. Change "YOUR_AIRCRAFT_NAME" in the sdef's too.

Apologies about the slow reply - did you manage to sort this? I would suggest removing the MiG 21 sound mod folder from saved games entirely, as well as deleting the folder found at "\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Cockpit" in your DCS world root folder. Then run a DCS repair, and re-install the mod making sure the folders go in the correct place. Hope this helps.

In the saved games folder or the installationfolder?

 

i tried both, but no changes for me.

Edited June 8, 2022 by Eisprinzessin

[btd]

Installation folder of course, there should be "CoreMods" and "Mods" folders. And be sure you don't use "YOUR_AIRCRAFT_NAME" names as in the example. And you changed all the folders in SDEF files too

[Eisprinzessin]

Hm, the most i can make out of it is that i have no sound at all in cockpit.

I install in the path like:

installation folder...   \Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Sounds\sdef\Aircrafts\MIG-21bis\CannonEndIn.sdef"

installation folder...   \Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Sounds\sdef\Aircrafts\MIG-21bis\CannonIn.sdef"

...\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\MIG-21bis\Cannon_In.wav"

...\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\MIG-21bis\Cannon_In_End.wav"

 

And so für the external stuff:

...\CoreMods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\MIG-21bis\Cannon.wav"

and so on

As said: no sound changes at all...i was not sure if it is MIG-21bis or MIG21-bis or only MIG21 so i tried with all three and got no positive result. 

 

I a new cannon sound in NINS Mod?

No new canon sound is included in the mod as of yet, when I have some spare time it's planned for the next version.

[Eisprinzessin]

Ah okay...now its clear, i thought some was included

[mehksauce]

idk what im doing wrong, i have put tech in saved games folder but i dont get any new sound, its still the default vanilla mig21 sounds..

null

also the cockpit switches sound  is muted, cant hear any of them. 

--------

EDIT: i tried to find a work around by adding it to ovgme and using based game folder file path and i got the sound working(?) 

Digital Combat Simulator Black Shark 2022.12.04 - 19.24.25.01 (streamable.com) 


but the cockpit switches are still muted. 

also is this how v3.1 supposed to sound? i still have v2.0 and that thing sounds so much better imo
