aube

*updated to 1.1 to better mesh with lock tone mod, is now much quieter*
 
Inspired by the distinctive RWR audio cues used in Janes F-15, I re-created a similar sound using Audacity (though keep in mind, I havn't played F-15 in a decade...)
 
This mod may have no grounding in reality, but damnit, it sounds cool to me, so I am uploading it in case anyone else is interested in it.
 
For an example of it in action, skip ahead to 1:50 to hear the tracking audio, which switches to the launch audio at 2:00 at

 
 
 
Installation: Unzip the 'Sounds' folder into your SF2 mods folder (by default C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[executable name])
If using one of the alternate sounds, rename the chosen file to simply RWRLockSound.wav or RWRTrackSound.wav as appropriate.
To uninstall, simply delete RWRLockSound.wav and RWRTrackSound.wav from the 'Sounds' folder

Again inspired by some older flight sims, I decided to make a Sidewinder lock tone that's actually a tone. Using A-10A HUD footage as a template, I was able to create what I feel is a reasonable replica. There is certainly no mistake when I have a solid lock now! It's most likely that this is more appropriate for modern aircraft, though I like it regardless just due to the clear difference between searching and lock tone.
