Hi all,

First, I am wanting to get rid of the cockpit flash that is supposed to represent lightning flashing.  To me, it is incredibly unrealistic to be flying at 38000 feet 20 miles away from a thunderstorm and have the entire cockpit light up like somebody just set off a strobe.  So I need to know what effects file it is, and if I delete it, will anything bad happen.

Secondly, I want to lower the thunder sound that I hear inside the cockpit.  Again, I find it incredibly unrealistic to be in the same scenario as above and hear thunder.  Do I need to lower the volume of all of the .wav files or individual ones?  I don't mind hearing it outside...just inside.

Thanks in advance for the help

Nobody?

Nobody?

hahha sorry man i'm guessing it's a pretty esoteric topic.

i have no idea how to change the flash.

 

i think if you want to reduce the sounds just picking out the cockpit ones would be a safe bet. they are all prefixed with a c instead of an x on my setup, like c1thun1b.wav, c1thun5a.wav, etc... not sure if there's simpler way than replacing the wav files with quieter ones.

 

cheers

Thanks Andy.  I'll keep playing around with the lightning effects and see if I can figure out which ones light up the cockpit.
