Has the sound structure changed?

It is strange sitting in a ww2 German fighter speaking American English I agree. It’s a shame as it was such a good well done mod. It’s a shame ED can’t incorporate it into the game engine.

 

Were there any requests?

In the meantime I have successfully changed the sounds of my A-10C copying the sounds from an old installation to:

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Sounds

 

I did the same for the F-18, but in spite of trying several different folder structures such as:

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\resource\aircraft\FA-18C\Sounds.edc

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\resource\aircraft\FA-18C\Sounds

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Sounds

 

For the F-18 it does not work...

 

What am I doing wrong? Why is this working for the A-10 and not for the F-18?

 

Can somebody point me out please?

Should be C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\FA-18

You answered your own question with A-10C...

Its that simple :)

Took me a while too and I was really frustrated, but it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks C0ff for all your help! The community really appreciate you!

Hi All,

 

Can someone tell me where to place this file, "ThreatNewUS.wav"? I've modified this file since I started playing DCS, but I haven't flown the A-10 in years. So it's time to use it again but the sound file structure has changed. It is definitely one of the most annoying sounds in DCS along with the low-altitude Rad-Altimeter sound in the Hornet.

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello. I am trying to find out why they changed the sound file structures and been reading this thread but other than a thin suggestion it is because of a new sound engine I am still in the dark here. I must believe there was a good reason for this change and not that they just poop on the customers and not care if the users cant mod their sounds like they did. Seems it is hella lot more complicated to mod your sounds. I used to look in my main game folder to see what the structure should be or even change some directly from there. I will keep digging for answers on why they did this change and if there is a soloution to get me back into modding my own sounds. I thought that was a great thing. Now I cant change anything because it is not clear on how to do it because the file structure in main game folder is not there anymore. I would be extremely grateful if someone could point me to other thread or threads that will shed some more light into this mystery. Thanks.

Seems that many people just took the game sound files, processed them on some audio software and then they posted that as kind of a "new and better" sound.

 

So, ED simply protected their intellectual property and encrypted their sound files .. you can still use modded sounds, but they now must be actual original sounds instead of deriving them from ED sounds.

You can put modified sounds from an old DCS installation in your

Username/DCSxxxx/Sounds, but I have not found out exactly how it works..

some work for me, like the F-16 F-18 and A-10, but I have not managed to

modify the horrible Spitfire cockpit sound (lawnmower)....

What is the full path of the Spitfire cockpit sound that it's going into?

Again, if you want help, need to be very specific.

Hello, thanks for your reply!....

Well, that's the rub... what I am trying to do is replace the engine sound of the Spit, it used to be:

 

D:\Games\DCS World\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Engines\RollsRoyceMerlin

 

And now it should go into ?

 

D:\Games\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\SpitfireLFMkIX\Sounds.edc ?

Should go into:

X:/Your User Name/DCS World/Saved Games/Sounds/Effects/Aircrafts/Engines/RollsRoyceMerlin/Engine.wav

 

Basically, your

D:\Games\DCS World\Sounds\

 

Should be replaced by

X:/Your User Name/DCS World/Saved Games/Sounds/

 

Then open

D:\Games\DCS World\Doc\Sounds\sdef_and_wave_list.txt

 

Then search for "RollsRoyce" which will return below on line 1498

wave:

Well thank you very much for your reply, but the directory D:\Games\DCS World\Sounds\

does not exist any more... It has been replaced by D:\Games\DCS World\Sounds.edc\

Moreover, I don't understand what is the utility of opening

D:\Games\DCS World\Doc\Sounds\sdef_and_wave_list.txt

and search for "RollsRoyce" ??

Well, I have managed to change succesfully the engine cockpit sounds of the P-51, F-18 and A-10 by placing the modified .wav or ogg files of an old DCS in:

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Engines\V_1650_7\Cockpit (P-51)

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\FA-18\Cockpit (F-18)

 

C:\Users\acroc\Saved Games\DCS\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Engines (A-10)

 

But not a chance to do the same for the Spit.

The files of an old DCS wich were in:

 

\DCS\Sounds\Effects\Aircrafts\Engines\PackardMerlinProp\Cockpit

 

DO NOT CHANGE the sounds of the engine in the cockpit of the Spit.

 

Does somebody know more?

Just use the path I told you on the very first line. I was simply explaining to you how I figured out that path.

 

Well thank you very much for your reply, but the directory D:\Games\DCS World\Sounds\

does not exist any more... It has been replaced by D:\Games\DCS World\Sounds.edc\

 

Umm... that's why I said it "Should be replaced by...???"

And the folder is there. It's just encoded into Sounds.edc. So if you put the correct sound file under Saved Games under same structure, it will be replaced.

 

Moreover, I don't understand what is the utility of opening

D:\Games\DCS World\Doc\Sounds\sdef_and_wave_list.txt

and search for "RollsRoyce" ??

 

"sdef_and_wave_list.txt" tells you the new path structure. Again, I was simply explaining how the new structure works but seems like you just didn't want to understand.

Ah so... So if I understand correctly, the cockpit sound of the engine of the spit is Effects/Aircrafts/Engines/PT6A-25C/ and not PackardMerlinProp. Will give it a try, Thanks again....

This trick of including changes in C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\ seems to work with the sounds,

can you tell me why it does not work for other stuff, like changing the GAZ 66 Trucks in

Well, other ones... ED just didn't make it that way. People ask why they did it this way for sounds but my guess is because of licensing. Unless ED recorded all the sounds themselves, they probably purchased a library and one of the terms surely was "No distribution". Packaging them as encoded file is okay but distributing the sound file raw probably was against the licensing.

 

You can package cockpit texture as Cockpit mod and then put them in Saved Games. Or if you don't play online, just put them in Main install path with OvGME.

Well, that is what I did,

 

C:\Users\MyName\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\SpitfireLFMkIX\Cockpit\Textures\Cockpit_Spitfire_LFMkIX_Textures.zip

 

But this has no effect. I have to put those textures in the main Install.

(which by the way make the cockpit readable, with the ED ones the cockpit gauges are barely readable in low light conditions)...

 

Thank you very much indeed again for your help!
