I have a keyboard with a handy set of volume buttons, including a mute button. I'm nearly bald, so that mute button saves me a lot of hair-pulling looking for other solutions that might cost me hours of hair-pulling frustration.

 

I don't yet wear headphones, so I'll ask innocently. Does VC sound all flow through the headset and exterior view sounds through the speakers? If not, a headset would be another solution. Right?

 

I think my hair is growing back.....

 

Hello fppilot,

 

I am looking for more of a sound.cfg or aircraft.cfg file fix rather than go out and buy some hardware to fix something.

Thank you for your input though.

 

Did any of You tried lowering the cabin fan noise? I bet all the ButtKicker users do not ventilate the cabin at all because this awfull noise...

 

BartEnder you are sooo silly....... LOL!!!

 

If i understand you correctly you want me to make my VC sound even quiter than what is already? So I will for sure have my ears bleed and have a subarachnoid hemorrage from the excessive exterior volume!

 

Kind regrads.

 

"ButtKicker"

If i understand you correctly [...]

 

Sorry, that is not the case here.

You´re absolutely right! My cabin remains unventilated, because the fan noise has some seeeerious bottom end. My buttkicker hasn´t too much to do with the sound of the turbines, but as soon as the air conditioning starts, I get a very intense massage. I have the same issue with the Carenado SR22...

Michael,

Have You tried lowering the volume for the audio files responsible for the noise?

I believe I had listen all the 'sound' catalog for nailing the file, but with no luck...

No, I haven't! To be honest, I don't want to spend that much time with tweaking, I just let the air condition turned off.

But I'd really like to have a better sound pack for the engines, they could have a little more low end! Any recommendations?

I believe TSS has developed very nice KingAir soundpack

Their sounds are quite good! Does anybody have any experience with the TSS sounds for the King Airs?

Hi all,

the sound for the aircondition is in FSX-folder/sounds/carenadoB200 (or something like this?!? I am not at my FSX Pc atm) and the file is called AC.wav .

Normally pretty quick to reduce volume with audacity.

 

in the same subfolder "FSX/sounds" there should be other folders for the Sr22 and the C90B!

Thanks Andy!

I was diggin' in SimObjects folder with no luck...

 

My virtual passengers are very grateful, especially I am moving to south hemisphere, where the summer is outside the window.

I would like to try the King Air TSS sound pack but I read the following in a review:

 

"Be wary of installing to some of the more well known payware products as they often have custom sound sets themselves and may not work correctly if this utility is used. Most freeware aircraft would ideally suit this product. One important point to note is the installer will only find aircraft in the default folder and that has a sound folder so AI aircraft are excluded from the 3rd party automated installation"

 

Would really like to know if anyone has used it in the B200 King Air before purchasing it? Thanks.

Hi abz,

 

I actually use it with the Carenado C90B. It works for my case very good. Just be sure to:

 

1.) rename the original carenado sound - folder to something like "sound.org"

2.) copy the new installed "sound" - folder from TSS into the corresponding aircraft folder for Carenado B200 or Carenado C90B in the FSX/simobjects/ folder

3.) copy the files "switch.wav" and "nosmoking.wav" out of the original sound - folder (now "sound.org") into the "new" sound-folder to have the vc click- and the passenger attention sounds.

 

Sounds for airconditioning, Cockpit separation door, traffic-alerst etc. are NOT touched and work as before, as these are placed in a different folder within FSX, which I pointed to before.

 

It works very well and the sound is pretty nice and on par with my reallife experiences, but surely it is very subjective, your mileage may vary! Of course, there is NO Beta-sound for the beta-range! Did not find such a feature till now myself.

Do a search on youtube and you should find a TSS movie of these KingAir sounds.

 

The instruction above works the same way for both the Carenado C90B AND the B200 and the sound fits pretty nice for both!

 

Cheers!

PS:

 

sorry forgot one important thing:

 

4.) Open the file "sound.cfg" in the "new" sound-folder and add the following entries just at the bottom of it all:

 

[NO_SMOKING_ALERT]

filename=nosmoking

 

[sEATBELTS_ALERT]

filename=nosmoking

 

 

 

Your done!

Thanks Andy.

Great of you to provide these details.

Definitely plan to get the TSS sound pack and try it out.

 

Al

Andy, Installed the TSS sound pack last night and I really like it. Very nice.Thanks for your help.

 

I added the below 2 entries to the sound.cfg file, as you suggested, but why is filename=nosmoking associated with the seatbelts entry?

Thought it would have been filename=seatbelts. Can you explain what these 2 entries actually do? Thanks, Al

 

[NO_SMOKING_ALERT]

filename=nosmoking

 

[sEATBELTS_ALERT]

filename=nosmoking

This was the result of adding lines of the original Carenado sound.cfg to the new TSS sound.cfg to keep functionality like it was intended by Carenado themselves. I just copy / pasted missing "important" entries.

Just take a look into the carenado sound.cfg , there must be also these lines somewhere.

The seatbelt/Nosmoking switch in the king air is a multiswitch but the sound that gets played in FSX is allways the same "ding dong" for both different displays, so they actually use the same sound-file to provide this.

Just execute the nosmoking.wav file in windows and you hear the familiar sound.

 

In the sound.cfg --- > filename=nosmoking(.wav) ---> the .wav extension is allways left out there!
