C177 Cardinal sound

[rvc68]

Can you tell me why every time I load the Cardinal C177 I get the following message:

"DREAMFLEET ARCHER II"

There is a problem with DirectSound. Check the FS2002\Sound\Flight One C152 folder for missing files or re-install the product.

I don't know why it shows "DREAMFLEET ARCHER II" when I an loading the Cardinal.

I suppose it is somekind of "ancient relic" in the gauges. The programming of some Cardinal gauges was based on Archer gauges since it would be useless to create the similar gauges from scratch. Actually more likely it is an ancient relic of some gauge sounds. That "error message" appears when FS don't have access to your direct sound driver, ie when you have the sounds turned off from FS or you have some other program (winamp for example) currently using the direct sound driver. That message really is nothing to worry about. The product will work just fine anyway...

Thank you for the quick reply. I won't worry about it then.

Hi there,

Just like Mikko said, this is a legacy from the original gaugebundle. I forgot to rename the window title to Dreamfleet Cardinal ;-)

Best regards, Elmar
