Quieting overspeed warning?

Is there a way to mute it-or reduce the volume?

Have you thought about NOT overspeeding..?

Explain the circumstances under which such a circumstance occurs... we will then be in a position to advise what you are doing wrong.

Try reducing the aircraft's speed, the overspeed warning is sounding for a reason!

+1 Probably has crash detection turned off, also. OP, trying to break the sound barrier in a C-172?;)

This is actually funny! Lol

I’ve heard this alarm only a couple times myself. I ensure I watch my speed carefully now.

You can go into the sound cfg and change the volume

by editing the parameter shown below:

[OVERSPEED_WARNING_SOUND]

filename=baover

maximum_volume=9900

You must change aircraft then go back to the original aircraft to hear the difference.

Hope this helps,

Don't worry. You won't be a 'pilot' for very long. The airplane will disentagrate and you will be a 'flying object' with no parachute. Bye Bye Birdie!

Since when did simulated flying become reality? ;)

Roger that! I tend to turn all that bitching Betty stuff off also. So what if I'm going 800 kts in a Cessna 172!! LOL!

Really?

To me, this doesn’t rhyme with the fact that, according to yr sig up this thread, you’re a developer for realistic (payware) engine sound packages.

If you’re really the one your sig insinuates, you just lost some customer credibility imo.

Hello

To Original poster

I haven't altered any sound files for a long time now ,but I used to use a utility that actually came with windows itself called sound recorder ( I think that's what it's name was) I don't know if it's still Included in Windows 10 ,but it was an extremely simple process to load the offending wav file into Sound recorder ,lower the volume,listen and if satisfied save the file, then replace said file back to its original location.

I have some sympathy with the OP as certain callouts ,warnings etc were often so loud in comparison to the other sounds within an aircrafts overall sound values ,that I nearly hit the cockpit ceiling and narrowly missed crashing into mountains ,seas, hippos up rivers etc

Seriously though either FSrecorder or any wav file editor is what you need, or perhaps the method described in another post earlier in this thread concerning altering the aircrafts cfg sound entries ,should result in much flight enjoyment and significantly reduce your chances of sound related heart attacks upon overspeeding ,landing etc etc

Thanks Andy-I have played with sound recorder before and what you have described would certainly work,but I have found an easier way (I think from somebody here),and that is to open the sound folder for the plane,open sound cfg with notepad,scroll down to overspeed warning,and add a couple of forward slashes on each line,like this:

//[OVERSPEED_WARNING_SOUND]

//filename=baover

//maximum_volume=9900

then save and exit-course you'll have to do this on each plane that HAS an overspeed warning section

OK glad you have sorted it.

Just one thing using the method you describe , doesn't that remove the overspeed warning completely?

Fair do's

If that suits you that's fine.😁
