Sound in FSUIPC

Featured Replies

Having just got my hands on FSUIPC I can say how pleased I am with it. However, for some reason I thought that it was possible to create sound profiles for separate aircraft. I find it extremely irritating to find that different aircraft have different levels for the sound files ie. the sound level for the engines or the ATC may be louder or quieter than on another aircraft and so I find I am constantly setting the sound levels each time I fly a different aircraft. While I see there does not appear to be this facility in FSUIPC, am I missing something, or am I right in this assumption? If this is not possible in any way, can anyone suggest a way around this issue? Thanks guys....

You are correct that it is not a part of FSUIPC.

You can meddle with the sounds by going into FSX's Sound options and changing the sound volumes. Alternatively, and much more time consuming, is to manually adjust the volume of the individual sound files. There is not other way that I know of.

1. Right, FSUIPC does not have that function.2. I agree with you that it is annoying to have to adjust sound for every flight. I have complained about this before during my rants about the need community driven standards for add ons. Some developers say set engine sounds at 50%, some at 20%, some at 75%... Every sound developer should mix their packages so that their optimum level is the same. All they would have to do is make adjustments to the volume levels for each .wav file. Of course, a higher power would have to create those standards. Sound hard? Maybe but it has been done before. For FS9, PAI created parking radius standards that were widely accepted.

What we need is a way to save the selected sound levels with each flight we save. Sadly MS didn't think of this.

Personally, I'm surprised that someone has not produced a cool little addon similar to FSUIPC. I would not have thought it was too difficult. It would certainly be something that many simmers would like to have I'm sure. Anyone out there like to have a go?
