martinkhunt Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I need some help to expand the sounds available to this programme : https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fsview.php?do=list&fid=89070 It uses a modified .fx file to trigger a takeoff sound, on an Ai aircraft as it enters the runway. I've made some new sounds, and want to point the .fx file to them. For example : Change - imp_large_a.wav to imp_large_1.wav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I changed all my ai sounds to something a bit more to my liking, but as far as I'm aware the ai only use certain sound files and pointing them to another doesn't work, like I say as far as I'm aware. If you go in the Sound folder and scroll down to aircraft sounds you will notice the ai sounds all start with the letters (xai). So adding more the sim won't find them.

martinkhunt Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 The programme introduces a 2nd sound, which is independent of the .Xai. The author has provided several downloads, but my Ai far outnumber the choices available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Ah, I stand corrected, I didn't know about that program sorry. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgibson_new Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Here is some info I saved from various forum threads: Posted by InBetween, Thu Jan-01-70 12:00 AM Greetings, It is indeed possible, ala the default fireworks display, or the flying chickens in the barnstorm effect in FS2004. Open the file fx_barnstorm.fx (in the FS9\effects folder) with Notepad and see the lines: Sound=5 Sound Param=40 These lines call a sound that is "hard-coded" into the Sim. The Sim looks for a specific wav file connected to the number "40", in this case the wav file "barn.wav" found in the FS9\sound folder. Cfs2 used this a lot in the effects files, here is the list: ---------------------------------------------------- Sound filenames associated with effects file entries ---------------------------------------------------- Sound type "5" Where three filenames are listed, one will play at random at each initiation of the effect... ---------------------------------------------------- FX file entry sound file(s) ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=0 firework.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=3 xvlg_exp.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=4 amb_aexp1a.wav amb_aexp1b.wav amb_aexp1c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=7 amb_aexp2a.wav amb_aexp2b.wav amb_aexp2c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=10 amb_aexp3a.wav amb_aexp3b.wav amb_aexp3c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=13 amb_aexp4a.wav amb_aexp4b.wav amb_aexp4c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=16 amb_wexp1a.wav amb_wexp1b.wav amb_wexp1c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=19 amb_wexp2a.wav amb_wexp2b.wav amb_wexp2c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=22 amb_wexp3a.wav amb_wexp3b.wav amb_wexp3c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=25 amb_wexp4a.wav amb_wexp4b.wav amb_wexp4c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=28 amb_gexp1a.wav amb_gexp1b.wav amb_gexp1c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=31 amb_gexp2a.wav amb_gexp2b.wav amb_gexp2c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=34 amb_gexp3a.wav amb_gexp3b.wav amb_gexp3c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=5 Sound Param=37 amb_gexp4a.wav amb_gexp4b.wav amb_gexp4c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound type "6" These sounds play at one of four different "speeds" or "tones", chosen randomly each time by the Sim... The filename listed will play at each initiation of the effect, with four possible variations... ---------------------------------------------------- FX file entry sound file(s) ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=1 imp_large_a.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=2 imp_large_b.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=3 imp_large_c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=4 imp_large_d.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=5 imp_large_e.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=6 imp_med_a.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=7 imp_med_b.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=8 imp_med_c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=9 imp_med_d.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=10 imp_med_e.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=11 imp_small_a.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=12 imp_small_b.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=13 imp_small_c.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=14 imp_small_d.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=15 imp_small_e.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=16 imp_small_f.wav ---------------------------------------------------- Sound=6 Sound Param=17 imp_small_g.wav ---------------------------------------------------- In FS2002/4 these still work, just use one of the combos above in naming the new sound.... EDIT: I forgot to mention the limitations: Sounds are "global" (heard everywhere). Sound plays once per effect initation, for the length of the wav file.

tgibson_new Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 PS. AFAIK, you cannot use any wav file names outside of this list. Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinkhunt Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Many thanks Tom! I was fooled into thinking the .wav name in the .fx, was the item to edit. Now renamed, edited and tested sucessfully, I can fill a half dozen new sound slots. The programme is a great enhancement, when sounds are timed to a specific airport layout. As a sound source, besides those offered, I've been spooling up some sounds from my non-Ai fleet, and 'live' capturing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
