This aircraft is North American PBJ-1J (USN B-25J) Mitchell "Semper Fi" Bu. 35857, USAAF s/n 44-30988, c/r N5865V, c/n 108-34263, operated by the CAF So. Cal. Wing at Camarillo Airport. It is the world's only existing (and flying) original PBJ.
I also augmented the sound at high RPM with samples from in-flight videos (linked below), and added an extra sample at low RPM. Accordingly, I showed the difference without the extra sounds at high RPM. And this is all before incorporating the actual cockpit sounds, wind noises, accounting for two engines... it's still a big improvement IMO.
One of the most significant shortcomings of the stock cockpit sounds is the lack of pitch matching and smooth transitions between the different RPM samples. Here, I'm pretty satisfied with how even the Everts video samples pitch matched quite well. The RPM parameter corresponds to actual engine RPM, at least as close as I can get it based on various R-2800 videos and my experience.
As you can see, I'm using the built-in FMOD Engine Designer script to control the RPM parameter, which automatically smooths your input and moves the "load" parameter accordingly based on "engine" acceleration. I have a simple EQ effect tied to "load," which low/high passes the sound on load and unload respectively. It's not exactly accurate, obviously, but it's not like War Thunder has a separate parameter for manifold pressure (or actual RPM) anyway.
You'll notice during the "run-up" sequence, I found that a simple EQ highshelf makes for a pretty good impression of the way the prop sound changes when the blades move to high pitch/low RPM in real life. Unfortunately, War Thunder doesn't have an FMOD parameter to represent blade angle at the moment.
And if you're wondering why War Thunder has C-46 sounds - they're used on some Japanese twin-engined aircraft, like the Ki-83.

This was an old project of mine from 2018. Unfortunately, the old video is no longer available, but it was by the awesome "Dan Beaumont Space Museum" channel on YouTube (which has vanished). Because of that, I included the clip of the original video after my edit so you can hear what the original audio sounded like.
It's one of the coolest videos of a Saturn V launch in existence, especially with the crowd and announcer's reactions before they're all brutally overcome by the raw sound of those five F-1 engines. It truly puts you in the moment of what it must've been like to watch, unlike any of the surviving news videos, and makes you wonder what it must've been like in person! That's what my enhancement aimed to capture, but it obviously still falls short.

The original SNJ-4 had no tailwheel steering, and had either a locked or unlocked tailwheel. This was to prepare pilots for carrier aircraft which needed an unlocked tailwheel for landing, as tailwheel needs to swivel all over the place in the chaos of a carrier landing. The locked position would only be used for ashore takeoffs and landings.
Something I forgot to mention is why you unlock the tailwheel in the first place. It's to make tighter turns than the steerable angle (+-15°) allows for. The ease of which the P-51 tailwheel lets you do this at a whim by pushing the stick forward once, instead of messing with tailwheel unlock levers, is why it's so convenient.

Enroute from Centennial Airport (KAPA), Dove Valley, CO, to Camarillo Airport (KCMA), Camarillo, CA. This was part of the PBJ's journey to the Thunder over Michigan 2021 airshow - specifically, on the way home. I have over 2 hours total footage like this from the phenomenal trip. I hope to post it all in some form eventually.

This aircraft is Bf 108D-1 N2231, Werknummer 3059. It was built in 1942 and was among the last Bf 108s made before production moved to occupied France. After the war in Europe ended, it was in an unknown unit coded VE+LI when it was captured by the RAF. It was operated by them as one of their 19 "Messerschmitt Aldons" with Air Ministry number AM 87, until it made its way with an owner in Switzerland, with civil reg. HB-DUB and later HB-ESK. It was exported to the US in 1968 where it eventually ended up in the Commemorative Air Force's inventory with its current civil registration. It was initially with the New Mexico Wing in Hobbs, NM, then the 3rd Pursuit Squadron in San Bernardino, CA, then finally, as of Summer 2020, the Southern California Wing in Camarillo, CA! This aircraft still has the original Argus As 10 inverted air-cooled V8, with a very neat sound.
