the current sound set with it is the one used in all the diesel subs.

Propulsion
The ship is equipped with a light water reactor, model GE PWR S6G, generating 35,000 shaft horsepower (26,000 kW), developed and supplied by General Electric.
OK..So...why exactly would I want it TO sound like a diesel??

perhaps before trying to be a smart a$$ you should do a little reading yourself.

Ah... now I understand the problem.
Again a nice misunderstanding...

You could edit the diesel sound file using Audacity, so that you can no longer hear the diesel.

hmmm I wonder if jhapprich or ETR3(SS) have a "nuke" sound?...

This would be like the movie "Airplane", where there is a 4-engined jet plane shown flying on the screen, and the sound is of an old 4-engined prop plane... - ya gotta admit, that is funny... but hopefully, someone has something that doesn't kill the 'immersion' factor of a modern nuke quite like a diesel sound does... In the meantime, look in the Data / Sound folder, for "Submarine_diesel_exterior.wav" and several others with numbers. Those are the offenders. Some are in close, some farther away, some underwater, etc. If nothing else, substitute a copy of the "..._electric.wav" file, renamed to "diesel" to have that "whine" of the electrics all of the time...

Sounds like it's the version that Jhapprich made, my version doesn't have the diesel sound.

No worries bud...as for editing the sound files..i suppose i could..but then it would alter the sound of the other subs as well. Just like changing interior in the subs config i would assume theres a file that changes what sound is played when that particular submarine is loaded. Im actually wanting to use the sound from the Ohio class mod which is more like a modern nuke..even the electric motor sound is a little cheesy on a 688 lol.

I believe it is..its the 688 (not the "688I"). What version are you using? Ive been trying to find this one but im at a loss..any idea where to download this version in the vid?



He says 688i but clearly looking at the dive planes....
Aside from that this version is all black skin where as mine has the red paint below the water line..is this a newer version of the mod perhaps? Ive gotta say i prefer the all black..wish i could get that on my ohio class and los angeles 688.

Also trying to figure out how to modify the "wake" and sea foam from another sub onto the LA class..its a near perfect model but the sounds and wake are off..trying to "complete" it to have a very fine 688..any help would be appreciated...thanks for the replies guys!

Take a look at "Dangerous Water" DL-section, there you could find the right sounds for you.
But honestly - if you prefer modern submarines, DW would probably be more appropriate...

I'm literally using my version, here's a list of my mods. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=237956

The boat in the video is the French Le Terrible which was based off the original 688(i) mod made by Dagon.
