FSX no thunder sounds

Featured Replies

I've got the enviro slider to 100. I get wind and rain but no thunder. The thunder wav files play outside the sim....and yes I've got the weather set for thunderstorms and it's very active. Any suggestions??

No help? :(

Have you tried deleting your cfg? Then allow fsx to re-create one.Hope that helps.

Check your sound sliders within FSX under options. There is a separate one for Environment I think. Bring it up louder.Lee

thanks, ill check it out...it also might be the sound settings of the PC...there are two sound outputs, sound card and HDMI.

What aircraft are you flying?If you are flying passenger aircraft and cruising at FL340 you will see the lightning but the thunder sound will be very quiet or even inaudible.To hear LOUD rumbles try flying low and slow.That's how it works in fs9 anyway.I find sound levels can be quite hard to get right in FS sometimes i.e. Seatbelt and smoking dings VERY Loud,but engine start up announcements in same aircraft too quiet.(as an example)Sometimes fiddling with wav sound volume and overall volume and FS9/x own sound settings is called for.cheers Andy

When I first noticed it I was in a CRJ at FL28. So then I went to ground level in the tryke for testing. My sliders are engines 20%, cockpit 40%, enviro and voice 100%. The thunder sound was not playing. I traced it back to my system using two audio outputs. When I told FSX to use the stereo plug output and not the HDMI I could hear the thunder but it wasn't the loud thunder crack I was expecting.

Ok....so I think I got it narrowed down....it seems like the WIND sounds from the environment are jacked. Most of the time they play at 90% and overpower the other environment sounds, like rain, ground rumble, and thunder
