I CAN'T HEAR THE ENGINE SOUNDS IN FS2000


If you have the Pro version of FS2000, install the optional sounds found on CD
#3.
If you don't have the Pro, I have no other ideas for you.

I had this problem and was directed by an online MS Tech to re-install Audio
CODEC files (listed under Multimedia devices in Windows control panel) from
Win98 CD.  This enabled missing sounds.

I CAN'T HEAR THE TOUCHDOWN SOUND AS IN FS98!


>>I would like to have more louder touch down sound.  
>>in soundconfig file most of volume parameters are set at 10000.
>>Can I change this values, and will it make a difference?

>I have covered this subject 10 or fifteen times on this forum over thepast few
>months and I will approach it again. (So I add it to the faq; faq writers comment)
>If you will go into the main sound folder of FS2K, you will find many .wav
>files with the word "touch" as part of their total name. These files are the
>touchdown sounds, not to be confused with the "roll" sounds.  You cannot hear 
>the "touch" sounds when the aircraft hits the bricks. 
>You can, however, hear the "roll" sounds.  Many people think the sounds they 
>are hearing are the touchdown sounds but in reality are only the roll sounds.
>There is no way of increasing the sound, that I can figure out, within the
>sound .cfg file.  Also I have tried editing the "touch" .wav files to make them
>louder but all it does is distort them.
>Before the FS2K patch was released I wrote to MS in an attempt to havethis
>area corrected, along with the "wind" file in the King Air.  MS didn'tfix
>either problem.  I fixed the "wind" file myself but cannot figure out howto
>fix the "touch" sounds.
>Apparently no one else can either, including Microsoft.>>>Happy simming.>>

Update: Download configpb.zip from flightsim.com (where else?), it will fix this problem.

FS2000 Jet Sound Upgrade. Includes a modified .cfg file that adds the touchdown sounds 
for the default Boeing 737, 777 and other 3rd party aircraft. 
Also adds the wind sound that gets louder and louder once you go faster. 
Includes some nice replacement sounds for replacing some default sounds.

I CANNOT SEEM TO GET THE RADIO TO WORK ON ANY FLIGHT!?


>Am I supposed to hear radio traffic or see text boxes. 
>They are on the rightfrequency and switched on.

Only Comm 1 will work (with or without add-ons), and Comm 1 will only work 
in FS2000 with ATIS.  No ATC chatter is built-in.  However, with programs like
Radar Contact 99, Squawk Box, etc., you'll get a lot of comms.
Comm 2 is for looks only at this time.
