JCW,

I'm looking at my other favorite game IL2 FB-ACP-PF, too see what elemements can be merged with SH3, I've already modded the "Combat Radio", but the file structure in IL2 is totally differnent to SH3. I've just got my head around "DAT files and extracting "TGA" files, but now there are other strange files, finding where they store all the sound files (machine gun, engine, explosions etc etc) is a real struggle. Unable to locate at this time.
Very few things can be modded in IL-2: aircraft and pilot skins, medals, splash screens, music, speech, radio chatter and maybe some other minor things. Other things (3D models, flight models, sound, effects) are encrypted.

Some guys have hacked the .sfs files (these should be the vault where valuable data are kept) and done some amazing modding, but I believe it's illegal (or at least might be illegal in some countries) unless you keep it for yourself.

See for instance:
