A-10-tastic - USAF - A-10 & GAU-8 Sound Overhaul

Description
Repacking, alternating or reuploading of this mod or any of it's addons is prohibited!

This mod brings a complete sound overhaul to the airplane as also some tweaks to the GAU-8 for the USAF A-10C.

Featuring dynamic and high quality sounds for:
- Internal (cockpit) view
- External (3rd person) view
- GAU-8 shooting (internal and external view)

Changes to the GAU-8 for a more realistic approach:
- No tracers for the 30 mm ammunition (as the real thing doesn't use tracers either)
- Magazine size set to the typical combat load of 1150 rounds
- GAU-8 limited to two fire modes: One or two second bursts
- Tweaked muzzle velocity of the 30 mm ammunition according to real GAU-8 data I researched
- Slightly increased damage and area of effect range compared to the original USAF settings
- Increased firing rate for the GAU-8 to better match reality: Resulting in a total amount of about 9 long or 18 short bursts available before all ammo is spent (this potentially makes gun runs far more devastating but they should also be used more wisely as the magazine will be emptied a lot quicker)
- Using vanilla 30 mm impact sounds instead of what the USAF mod is normally using

Server key is included.
I recommend to install the mod on the server and all clients as it's not only changing the sounds of the A-10 but some of the weapon, magazine and ammunition properties related to the GAU-8 as well. It seems to work without errors when only installed client side though.

Note: This mod is not under active development anymore. Any game breaking bugs will be fixed. Other than that, don't expect any updates for this mod in the foreseeable future.

I honestly don't really have the time currently to make a compat for that. :/

@FACEpuncher I haven't tried it but it's not compatible most likely. Can't speak for the USAF Sounds Improve mod but mine doesn't change class names. It's just overwriting some settings. But I assume that's what the other mod does as well so they're probably conflicting.

It's giving the server an error... I assume that mod changes the classname of the a-10c. Would making a compat patch be on ur end or their end?

@bro he prefired me!!! Thanks for your feedback and especially the videos, those were super helpful! The impact sounds should now be aligned for all planes. I went for the ones that are used by vanilla, RHS and Firewill.
