Kenneth Birdsong Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What sounds are controlled by the volume controls; engine, environment etc.? Can the volume be adjusted? Thanks in advance! K 2the B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 All and yes, in that order :D Overall, the sliders control ALL the sounds. Each having a certain set type of sounds it controls, like the sounds you hear IN the cockpit, the ones in locked-spot view and so on. ALL of them at once. NOW it gets fun. In each aircraft's SOUND folder, there is, presuming the sounds aren't aliased to another plane, a file called SOUND.CFG. EACH individual sound used is controlled by this file. It can be opened with Notepad or something similar. In it, each individual sound will have a specific section, which will look something like this: [right_TOUCHDOWN] filename=cmtouch4, cmtouch5, cmtouch6 flags=0 viewpoint=1 minimum_volume=6500 maximum_volume=9300 Some entries may have more lines, some fewer, but that's just an example to show the lines we are interested in. That particular section controls the sound emitted when the right wheel touches the runway during landing. It gives the filename(s) to be used, in this example it will utilize the files named cmtouch4, cmtouch5, cmtouch6 in the Sound folder. What YOU are concerned with are the two lines Minimum_Volume= and Maximim_volume= If you want that particular sound to be louder, you increase the number on both lines. Obviously, to decrease the sound, make them a little smaller. In this example the Minimum_volume line is 6500, Max is 9300. If I want the sound to be louder, but JUST that sound, I would change them to, let us say 6700 and 9500, respectively, and see how it sounds TO ME when the bird touches down. If it's too loud now, I will decrease them somewhat, let us say 6600 and 9400. Again, this is very subjective and system oriented. So, if you don't think the gear going down, for example, is loud enough, you can change it. FOR THAT PLANE, ON YOUR SYSTEM. Very subjective, and again, it will be on your system only. Does all this help any? Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Birdsong Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Pat, thanks for the reply. I just wanted to know what sounds are controlled by the sliders. The engines, I understand and the voice/ATC I understand, I just don't know what the environment and cabin sounds include. K 2the B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Environment is the outside sounds, like wind, birdies chirping, the brreze in the treeze, water slapping on floats, and so on. Cabin sounds are what YOU can hear on the inside. Wind over the fuselage, engines, gear going up/down, things like that. Sorry I got overboard there. Ask me the time, I tell you how to build a clock... :p Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out!

il88pp Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 cabin: also alarm sounds. "autopilot off" "pull up!!" "sink rate!!" Environment: I heard a loon once... I think there's also crickets at one airport. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I heard a loon once... Heck, I hear loons all the time. Just listen to any politician sometime. They'e all loons! Besides, I hate the avian version. They sound like they're laughing at us. Probably are, come to think of it. There are birds they call the coot in Yuma that sounds like that too. I hate any bird that laughs at me... Although my little parrot laughs at the cats all the time. "Heeere kitty, kitty, kitty! He-he-he-he!" Rotten little bird...

Kenneth Birdsong Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks for the help! It would be nice if they would have listed what sounds were where. save from making adjustments then checking to see if they worked or not. Again, thanks for the help.
