FS2004 landing sound delay with ButtKicker / undocked window engine sound problem

Featured Replies

Hi,I'm not sure have you had this kind of problem, but when using ButtKicker shaker you can 'feel' the landing thump when gears hit the ground. The problem is that at least in FS2004 there is appr. 1-2 second delay in this sound. Could this sound file be modified somehow or is there any other way to make this sound file to play in the right timing with the actual landing time?I our Cessna sim we use multiple undocked views like virtual cockpit (main view) and also undocked outside spotplane view. From some reason FS2004 sets this outside spotplane view as a default sound source and instead of cockpit engine sound there's always outside engine sounds active when FS2004 is loaded.I have tried to click the VC cockpit window active. This helps and the cockpit sound can be heard normally again. The saving doesn't help and once the game is relaunched the problem remains. Could I somehow set from FS2004 setting which window is the main/active undocked window?

FS loads the touchdown sound file on touchdown. If you have an addon sound set that has an excessively-sized sound file for the touchdown noise you will experience this. I would suggest loading a default sound set and seeing how that performs, if that isn't what you are using already.If that doesn't identify the issue I can't help you further as I have no knowledge of "Buttkicker" itself.John

What type of frame rates are you seeing? The delay could be the result of low-end system performance. KJ
