Prostock Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 NAME of Plane I dl'd from our files - Project Opensky Boeing 747-100/200 ISSUE: No sound This is what's in the sound File. Does this mean it uses sound from an existing plane that I would already have & the reason for NO SOUND is I don't have the plane in my Folder? If so, where can I get sound file. Thanks [fltsim] alias=B737_400\sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 change either to: b747_400\sound (for the 747 sound) Or change to: B737_800\Sound (for the 737 sounds) (that's the folder names in fsx. in fsx it's a 737_800 and no longer a 737_400 that it was in FS9) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming since the Sound file info, 737_400, it's a Plane made for FS9. Two more issues once sound was fixed. 1. No Panel No Gauges EDIT: PROBLEM #1 FIXED. COPIED AND PASTED PANEL FROM 737_800. HOPE IT ALL WORKS. Still have issue 2. Absolutely No Power. Kept crashing due to lack of power, it's like it only had 1/4 throttle. Any idea's?

mrzippy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Giving the name of the aircraft is of little help. Please give the filename. abcdef.zip as an example. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostock Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Giving the name of the aircraft is of little help. Please give the filename. abcdef.zip as an example. I forgot how I found it. I think I was looking though Hot 50 dl's, not sure if it was latest 50 or 1,2,3,4 days old. This is what the zip is called but when I search it, It says nothing found. Sorry. Here's what it is. o742_ups Let me know if you find it. Thanks MR Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Here you go, Mr Z, no wonder he has had sound and panel problems! Prostock - Okay, I read your post again, I see where you got the panel going. FS2004 planes most generally will work in FSX, but you have to think about replacing the sound and panel folders with FSX items. I see you copied and pasted a panel from a 737 (2 engine A/C) to the 747 (4 engine aircraft) might have something to do with the power like it's not giving you the extra 2 engines? I see Mr. Z has signed off, but I'll leave this with you both, maybe he can figure out the power issue. - Rick FS2004 (ACOF) - FS2004 Jetliners FS2004 UPS Boeing 747-200 [ Download | View ] Name: o742_ups.zip Size: 18,939,818 Date: 10-31-2007 Downloads: 1,249 FS2004 UPS Boeing 747-200, registration N520UP.

Model by Project Open Sky. Rick :cool: Thanks Rick - I'll see if I can find a 4 engine 747 in my airplane folder & swap out the sound & panel from that one. In the mean time, if anyone has a better idea, I'm open to try it. If this does not work........ The question would be: Can Airplane intended for Lesser Sims such as FS9, FS2004 & others be used in FSX without major modifications? Or is it a trial & error situation where I try different things or ask here. I guess the alternative would be to just find Free FSX releases. Problem is I enjoy a challenge, getting things to work is more fun than just dropping them in & taking off.

mrzippy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I am going to look at it shortly. You are very confusing with all of the 737 talk when this aircraft is a 747. I hope you are using the default 747 panel and not a 737! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is I enjoy a challenge, getting things to work is more fun than just dropping them in & taking off. Thanks for the help as usual everyone What I would do, if you have the default 747-400 in your FSX files, just copy and paste panel/sound folders over to your new download. Yes, on using "Lesser Sims" FS9/FS2004 aircraft for FSX, BUT, you have to plan on deleting FS9/FS2004 sound folders and panels, THEN, finding an appropriate FSX panel and FSX sound folders and then make the copy and paste and all should be good! In your case, I think once you get the 4 engine panel moved over to your new download, you should be in good shape, throttle and all! I have seen people use 4 engine panels for 3 engine applications, and there were no issues, just didn't look right. But in your download, you have a 2 engine panel trying to control a 4 engine application. Good luck and keep us posted! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Good morning Mr Zippy, what a thread to wake up to! Yes, I was a bit confused when closely reading Prostock's thread. I said, "Wait, he has downloaded a 747, but he is trying to use 737 components. I think he gets the jest of where he went wrong, but we shall see! He's like the rest of us, learning as he goes! Have a nice day! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 When using a 747 panel and a good set of 747 engine sounds, instead of the aliased 737-800 sounds, it had plenty of power for takeoff and flight. The 737 panel does not monitor 4 engines so you don't know if all were fired up.;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
