Is there any way to make these stop? Especially the music.

 

I know you can stop the music by closing the door, but ... as much as I like classical music (I actually really do) - the airline I will be simulating (Qantaslink/Eastern/Sunstate) does not play music for boarding. (one other airline I have flown with IRL (they only have A320's) plays 'the local radio station' during boarding, not classical music).

 

I'v figured out how to trigger Cabin announcements from the FMS, but I just want to get rid of that music, preferably forever, mostly for the realism factor of the airline I'm simulating.

...\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\mjc8q400\sound\music\default

 

Feel free to record or replace the music pieces with whatever you want to, just as long as you save them with the same file names you should be good to go (song1.wav, song2.wav etc). You could record a moment of silence with sound recorder if you don't want music at all.

 

Same for the announcements, you can record your own if you're unhappy with the default ones, replace the ones here:

 

...\FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\mjc8q400\sound\announcement\default

 

I havent tested it myself, so MAKE A BACKUP before meddling with the files, but I'd bet you a fiver it works just  fine.

 

PS:

There's an interesting file in the annoucement\default folder, if you read the "events_flow.txt" file it lets you know what triggers the various announcements:

 

."Shift E to open the door"

."Master switch ON"

."ARCDU1 ON"

10s delay

Music starts

10s delay

Cap: boarding ann.

 

."N2 prop rpm>150"

FA: welcome ann.

30s delay

FA: safety ann.

Music stop

 

."Approach light ON"

5s delay

Captain: Seats for takeoff

 

."In the air"

."Seat belts OFF"

5s delay

FA: Climb ann.

 

."Flaps 0"

."N2 prop rpm 850"

."|VS| < 100fpm"

delay 120s

.Cap: Cruise ann.

 

."PTU Light On"

delay 40s

FA: Approach ann.

 

."Flaps >0"

delay 30s

Capt: Seats for landing

 

."On the ground"

."GS < 30kts"

FA: after landing ann.

Yes can be done easy goto Majestic aircraft folder then sub folder ini and edit the following file mjc84.ini

 

Change this line from ;

 

; flag to enable/disable music

entertainment_music_enabled        = 1

 

 

Into

 

; flag to enable/disable music

entertainment_music_enabled        = 0

 

as always make first a backup of the ini file...

Thank you. That music was so FSPassengers! I know many people like it, but when I'm running the checklist I want to hear the plane talking, not the cabin music.

Another way to stop music is to set the variable "entertainment_music_enabled" to 0 in ini/mjc84.ini file

 

Or you can also go into FMS DATA/CABIN menu and switch it off for one time.

Ps great work it's a beauty :-)

Note that you can personalize cabin announcements PER LIVERY by creating a subfolder in the livery's folder with the same file hierarchy that the default announcements.

I don't have anything listed under fms data cabin disp.. Any help with this?

I took a communications Eurolot capitana and cabins in the Announcements folder. I have a wav file. But when it is a genuine exchange of these recordings on a plane you can not hear. Does anyone know why?

I have the dame problem. I am trying to create some FlyBe announcements but you can't hear the wav files in the sim.

 

 

Kind regards,

Make sure the file is in same format. Not just .wav, but stereo/mono, same rate, same frequency etc.
