Arma FDF Sound Pack v1.3

[wolfsblut_ 0]

FDF Sound Pack 1.3 released 3.12.2007

...

* 1.3

- New footstep sounds to all surfaces

...

I didnt know the FDF-version before v1.3 but IMO

the footstep-sounds and the running-noise in this version are very very superb.

And so ...

God bless FDF :)

Nice work Göeth... as always. Now ArmA is much more fun to play.

some of this pack is made of serious win.

jet noise is much better. no more stealthy A10's

walking / kit jingle. very cool.

big thumbs up.

Never really gave FDF a chance as i was too digging on another sound mod but this one is tight. As stated, player movement  sound actually had me thinking I was playing a new game and vehicle sounds are top-notch. Haven't tried all the guns yet but so far they sound 'meaty'

I like everything about the new FDF Soundpack.. except the sonic crack, ive never fired a real gun in my life, but from videos, and other soundpacks i've heard, i personally prefer 1.2 sonic crack Too much treble on it for my ears =(

But everything else is top notch as always!

Keep it up!

i would use these,but i like ffamm too much

[kroky 1]

it's true that FFAMM has some better gun sounds. (And I borrowed the supersonic cracks and the shouting when hit from there to use it with FDF_Sounds 1.3 and the M249 sound from ModWar, he he)

FFAMM has one big letdown: Not good sounds for vehicles and

the movement sounds in FDF Sounds ist definitevely the best out there atm. Also they have made the best environment sounds for ArmA imho.

Some suggestions to make the FDF Sounds even better:

- change AK74, AKS sounds

- change M249 sounds

- change supersonic cracks to be less audible when near and

 more of a pop-crack sound when far away

- change and add variety to the shouts when hit and being    

  healed

- add a breathing sound to soldier even when he's not moving

 (of course very low level)

- add heartbeat sound when soldier is running or under fire

 (here of course low level too) if it's to much hearable it will

 be annoying.

- reduce the fly sounds to dead bodies and start the sound

  much later. (right now the flies are coming just a second

 after the soldier dies...)

Good suggestions here folks. Remeber that this is not final version, i´ll definetly improve things in upcoming versions.

awesome quality , nice work FDF

[LoFFeN 0]

Nice as always.  

I hope the AH-1Z gets a new rotor sound though. The current one is too treble'ed. It needs a bit more of swoosh "muffled sound".

Haha, Before i made my FFAMM sounds, I like the FDF best, Because it's very comprehensive and sounds balance.

The FFAMM1.3 is bad vehicle sounds, But i'm sure, I will fix the problem. FFAMM1.4 will come after my China Special Force, With a lot of improvement. eg the tracers will be created all by myself.

Good work FDF teams, I love your works best! Thank you!

- New M134 (AH-6 and UH-60) Sounds

- Make footsteps on dirt and grass also gear sounds more audible

But everything else is GREAT!

THen oyu havn't heard a B-1B or F-111 at full afterburners

[Victor_S. 0]

The B-1 is pretty loud, but i think the f-22 might be louder....on second thought idk.

[layne_suhr 0]

I think your SU-34 needs more grunt! Needs to sound more like a fighter not a 737

Same with the Harrier too

You´re right it needs some boost i admit.

Goeth and all the rest in the FDF mod team- Thanks a lot you have done it once again!

Get real and don´t compare your hollywood knowledge or YouTube recordings to the sound you actaully hear on the scene. It takes quite some hardware to accurately record sounds irl and an inbuilt condenser mic in a videocam doesn´t do this right, period.

That's right. supersonic crackers in real life do resemble more the sound used on version 1.3. However, most of us judge the reality based on TV news broadcasts from war zones (I don't remember hearing supersonic crackers on Hollywood movies). Therefore, ironicaly, many more players will feel that the 1.2 version's supersonic crackers are a lot better than the new ones. So I will vote for reverting back to them.

To my ears The M4 sound in version 1.3 is VERY realistic and actually is the closest to the real life sound that I have ever heard in ANY computer game.

Thanks again!

My "problem" with the supersonic crack sound is, I allways have the feeling someone is firing a silenced weapon nearby.

Maybe it's real, but it just don't feel right.

Thanks.

It is realistic

-if it makes your skin crawl

-if you feel the urge to lie down or to get behind a cover

-if you are stunned

when someone nearby shoots or you hear the cracks.

I most certainly do and I love the uneasiness it is giving me

[andersson 285]

From my limited experience of having bullets flying past me it sounds real.

[kroky 1]

A little bug is that you even hear the flies around corpses when they're lying under water.

And the fly sound should have a wait period and not start instantounesly

[mr_centipede 31]

i remove the fly sound from the config.. so annoying. other than that, all top notch. beginning to getting used to the supersonic crack

Quick question. Do I have to remove or disable Chammy's sound mod before installing this one?

No, just change the mods in your shortcut (or launcher).
