My old computer crashed and burned , otherwise I would copy things from it. I have got P3dv4 up and running with most things working OK in the new computer but I can't call outs to work. I'm pretty sure that I have made an error in the path, though I've tried all kinds of paths and nothing seems to work. I have a folder called Callout in my Sound folder.  This is my code:

 gauge35=CALLOUT_SOUND!dsd_p3d_xml_sound, 0,0,0,0, .Sound\CALLOUT\dsd_fsx_sound.ini
gauge36=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT2500,      0,0,0,0
gauge37=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT1000,      0,0,0,0
gauge38=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT500,      0,0,0,0
gauge39=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT100,      0,0,0,0
gauge40=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT50,      0,0,0,0
gauge41=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT40,      0,0,0,0
gauge42=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT30,      0,0,0,0
gauge43=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT20,      0,0,0,0
gauge44=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT10,      0,0,0,0
gauge45=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTMIN,     0,0,0,0
gauge46=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTAPPMIN,  0,0,0,0

I have also tried 

gauge35=CALLOUT_SOUND!dsd_p3d_xml_sound, 0,0,0,0, .Sound\CALLOUT\sound.ini
gauge36=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT2500,      0,0,0,0
gauge37=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT1000,      0,0,0,0
gauge38=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT500,      0,0,0,0
gauge39=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT100,      0,0,0,0
gauge40=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT50,      0,0,0,0
gauge41=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT40,      0,0,0,0
gauge42=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT30,      0,0,0,0
gauge43=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT20,      0,0,0,0
gauge44=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT10,      0,0,0,0
gauge45=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTMIN,     0,0,0,0
gauge46=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTAPPMIN,  0,0,0,0

 

The CAB for small jets is in the panel file as well as dsd_p3d_xml_config_x64.dll, dsd_p3d_sound_x64.dll and dsd_fsx_xml_sound

 

I'm pulling what is left of my hair our! Please help!
 

In Option>Aplication>General enable Content error reporting, check for errors at P3D shutdown, it looks as you are not calling the 64 bits of the dsd_p3d_xml_sound

Hi Jorge! I took your advice and checked the error reporting file and indeed my gauge was wrong, it was 32 bits. I changed it to the 64 bit version but no joy and no error in the error report. I still think I am doing something wrong in the path.

Regards, Bjartie

I have just tried 

gauge35=dsd_p3d_xml_x64! sound, 0,0,0,0, .Sound\CALLOUT\sound.ini without the "Callout_Sound" at the front, and have added "x64", which I think is right and still no joy. Very frustrating as I had this working perfectly in my old computer.

 

edit the sound.ini and check if  it is calling any file...

Here is my sound.ini, as far as I know everything seems OK

Hi Bjarti,

You should try to add in your panel [Vcockpit01] section the following gauge

gaugexx=dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64!Debugger,  420,550,600,80

which should give you information about the files it is looking for.

To help you, we need the different path of

your aircraft
the dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64 path
the sound path (local to aircraft or global to P3d)

I know by experience that the naming of the path are a little bit special...

Gérard

I found a work around. I gave up on the dsd files after a lot of variations. I found an old Rikooo Embraer 135 that had callouts, and copied the code from the panel there and it works! It is different from the set up that I had before when I used the dsd files. but it works and that is the most important thing. Thanks for your help.
