How to get AI to have sounds in FSX?

Featured Replies

Hello Gang!I am in the grueling process of transferring my AI aircraft from FS9 to FSX. I have placed the corresponding "soundai" folder in the respective aircraft folders, but I still hear no sounds coming from the AI aircraft. Is there something I need to put somewhere - maybe in the AI config files - that would enable the sound?Thanks!Sincerely,Dennis D. Mullert

Dennis.Good question..I have transferred all my UT AI over from FS9.. Since my FS9 AI traffic used B737-400 sound in FS9 I moved the B737-400 sound from FS9 into my FSX simobjectsAIaircraft folder and set my sound.cfg to the B737-400 folder. Either I am going deaf or it is not working. I then tried using the Sound AI in FSX but that did not work. I used FShotSFX in FS9 and it was great. I must be doing something terriably wrong.Carl

What I did:Copied the sound files, both regular and AI from the 737-800 folder to whatever AI jet you want to use as a base aircraft. For example if you had an AI 747-400 folder you would copy the sound files to it. Both sound folders need to be copied as the soundai.cfg file gets .wav files from both.Once copied the example 747-400 would have AI sounds. To get other AI jets to have sound all you need to do is alias the soundai folder in the other AI jets. Using the above example, soundai.cfg would be "alias=747-800soundai" without the quotes. Very similar to the FS2004 way of aliasing.Mike

Mike.I think I did something simialr but I used the FS9 B737_400 sound files. I made a AIaircraft folder in SimObjects. All my FS9 AIplanes are in that folder. For all my i.e. 737/727/767 AIplanes I created a sound folder with the following as the sound.cfg. [FLTSIM]alias=simObjectsAI_AirplanesB737_400soundThis points to the B737_400 folder where the sound files are located in the SimObjectsAIaircraftB737_400 folder. I would think that would work but it doesn't. I will give your way a try since it is working for you. By the way, the truck/craft traffic is very loud but the aircraft (FSX) are much lower.Thanks for you help,Carl

Carl,Remember, the sounds come from the soundai.cfg and soundai folder. Maybe thats why your method didn't work.Try mine anyway. That way you'll get the spool up sounds on takeoff.Mike

Hey guys,Just messing around with this and got my AI to play the better quality sounds (whinging (sp?)) from the front and blasting sound from the rear. Also can hear spool up on takeoff. I was wondering if anybody had heard thurst reversers?Cheers,Kael
