Hi,

it should go into the panel folder!

What I did:

Duke:

Unzip and rename dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll to RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau. Put this file into ...\Realair\Simobjects\Airplanes\RealAir Duke Turbine V2\panel\ (replace the 32bit version). Done

Cheers,
Chris

But I don't have a RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau in my Realair\Simobjects\Airplanes\RealAir Duke Turbine V2\panel folder to actually overwrite....

This is what my Panel folder looks like...

It is really important that you put the new gauge in the same folder as the one it is replacing.

Before you put anything anywhere, look in panel.cfg for the name of the old gauge and then find that gauge.  Then you know where to put the new one, whether you are renaming it or not.

In my panel.cfg Gauge 21 looks like this

RealAir Duke Turbine V2/Panel/Sound/RASDukeTv2_Sound.ini

So do I dropped the renamed .GAU file into \Panel\Sound?  If the answer is yes I don't actually have a .GAU file in \sound to overwrite so that can't be right?

The only .GAU file I have is in my RealAir\Gauges folder, I have overwritten that with your file and it didn't work

So I'm well and truly confused, copying one file should not be this difficult!  Lol.

[Cargostorm 151]

I will check my panel.cfg when I am at home... I used the add-on.xml method to set all correct paths.

[ddawson 35]

sidfadc,

Could you please post the entire line from panel.cfg, not just the parameter.

Also, please post the contents of the .ini file itself.  I don't own these products so I can only work with what you guys post here.

Thanks Doug, for the record the only .GAU file in my entire Real Air folder structure lives in the Gauges folder titled RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau.  I took your updated file, renamed it to RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau then dropped it in the gauges folder, yes to overwrite.  No sound still from switches/flaps etc.  I have the turbine duke V2 installed via the add on.xml method if that helps or not.

From panel.cfg

gauge21=RASDukeTv2_Sound!Sound, 1,1,2,2,./SimObjects/Airplanes/RealAir Duke Turbine V2/Panel/Sound/RASDukeTv2_Sound.ini

sidfadc,

You will see that all those path references, both for  the .ini itself and the sounds, start with '.'

They are all relative the the main p3d folder, not the folder where the gauge resides.

So...

Open the p3d\SimObjects\Airplanes folder.

Create a folder called RealAir Duke Turbine V2

Copy the panel folder from your DTv2 install into this new folder.  You don't have to copy the whole aircraft installation, just the panel folder.

You should now have a folder called ./SimObjects/Airplanes/RealAir Duke Turbine V2/Panel/Sound

and all those path references should resolve correctly.

 

Edit:

You can reduce the gauge's memory and cpu utilization slightly by changing the MaxSounds parameter from 70 to 61.

[sidfadc 1,344]

Done that Doug thanks for the help really appreciate it however nothing has changed...still no sounds?

Confirm I should have your file residing in D:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\Real Air\Gauges named RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau ?

This all stems from me installing the Duke via the add on xml method, maybe its just easier to install the turbine duke back into the main P3D folder and start over.  I've been at this all day!!  I am computer savvy I really am but this is so frustrating.  I'm almost giving up. Ha!!

[ddawson 35]

I'm guessing the gauge itself is not  loading.  You're not getting a pop-up message about it not finding the config file are you?

Move (don't copy) the gauge into the p3d gauges folder.  I'm guessing that after this adventure, you will remember that it is there when you next upgrade p3d versions and have to copy it back in.

I have avoided using those damned xml files to configure add-ons.  I used the command line utility to add additional search paths for both aircraft and for gauges.

For what it's worth  .. I installed the Turbine the normal way by pointing it to the P3D v4 folder and everything went in fine

[sidfadc 1,344]

I'm uninstalling now and starting from scratch, going to put the Duke in my default P3D folder.  I've tried that many things I don't know if its arsehole or breakfast time anymore.

This I can help you with...

In @supertemp post above, you will see that some of the sounds listed have negative integer values listed after their names.

These values represent attenuation, in hundredths of decibels.  By adding such a value to the line for the offending sound, you can reduce its volume.  The maximum attenuation possible is 100db, using a value of -10000, but I suspect that only your dog will be able to hear the sounds if you use an attenuation of any more than about 35db (-3500.)

DirectSound does not support amplification, so you can't make the sound louder using this method.

Why are the sounds too loud now ... using the original attenuation values?

[sidfadc 1,344]

Holy moly quacker moly!!!  I've fixed it.

Right for anyone who is sniggering at my desperate posts this is what I did.  I installed the Turbine V2 into my native \P3D installation, gave up on the add on xml method.

I took Dougs file, renamed it to RASDukeTv2_Sound.dll and copied it into \P3D\SimObjects\Airplanes\RealAir Duke Turbine V2\panel

PLEASE NOTE: I didn't need to overwrite any files because one didn't exist in the first place.

I then DELETED RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau from \P3D\gauges

All sounds are now active.

Thanks for everyone's help!!  Trouble is now I have ran out of time and need to go and pick my daughter up from after school club!  Damn!!

Where would I find this parameter?

[ddawson 35]

Just now, Bert Pieke said:

In the config section of the .ini file.

The last sound is #60, but we start at 0, so there are 61 in total.
