Hi matey, I'm sure I have done something wrong! I am trying the piston Duke for starters. I've followed your instructions but obviously done something incorrectly, I'll go over my steps again...

Hmmm, installed but no sounds...?

Did you put the 'sounds' folder in the Duke's folder? If you did, that'll be the answer. It goes in the FSXSounds

Hi Ron, nope, went in the FSX sounds folder...

Bugger! Thought I'd cracked it.

Well, I grabbed the version in the AVSIM File Library, for the Piston Duke and it works BEAUTIFULLY!Really adds a nice further touch of quality to an already amazing addon :smile:Thank you Bliksimpie! ... If I am being hyper-critical, my only constructive feedback would be that I don't like the sound that applies when I turn the Heading and Course knobs, as I don't believe any sound is heard when these knobs are turned in real life.But ---> LOVELY work sir!

Gone over this with a fine tooth comb.... ???? I've obviously messed up somewhere but for the life of me I don't know where...

PM me your email then we take it from there.

Teamspeak is the quick way.

RockyOk lets start with some pics.Lets go through everything: I pressume you have FSX installed in standard Menu path1) open the panel folder for Piston duke. make sure there is a cab file called "Duke_Cockpit_Sounds_PIST.cab"2) Open the FSX Gauges folder. make sure there is a gauge file called "DUKE_Cockpit_sounds_PIST.gau"3) Open the FSX Sounds folder. make sure there is a folder called "DUKE_PIST_Cockpit" and its contains wave files and and .ini file called "DUKE_PIST_sound.ini" (total files =39)4) Open the panel.cfg file of the Piston Duke and make sure the following 2 entries (gauge 25 and 26 ) has been added to vcockpit01 section: this is what my vcockpit01 look like. you might have additioanl stuff etc.. this is only a guideline to show how I added gauge 25/26

5) Open the folderC:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XSoundDUKE_PIST_Cockpitinside find a file called "DUKE_PIST_sound.ini"open the file with notepad. It should look like this.. Important to check that it point to the indicated folder. see red sqaure.But as I said send me your PM and I will send you my set just incase there is something wrong with your install files.. Maybe it is best to try the new set.

Does anybody know if this file is still available anywhere? The Mediafire link no longer works. I was really excited to find this sound set because the silent switches in the Duke Turbine are kind of an immersion-killer for me on an otherwise perfect plane. 

the link below, will take you to the files

Hello Bliksimpe,

 

Are you planning on creating your cockpit sounds for the new Piston Duke v2? This edition has some of the sounds already.

 

Regards,

 

Ray

well bliksimpie don't frequent this site anymore according to an email exchange I had with him long time ago. I know he is still somewhat active on fsdevelopers forum

 

Interesting that you mention it as I understood duke V2, have sounds for everything, but then again I have not yet made the purchase of the new V2. Just seen somewhere it was mentioned the V2 now have cockpit sounds.
