August 23, 2025Aug 23 I just downloaded a new emerates 380 airplane with call out sounds but I'm not hearing any of them. The install instructions was to place the call out files in the msfs x main sound folder. I removed the files from the downloaded sound folder and placed them in the msfs x main sound folder as in structions. I have this problem with most of the call out files placed in the main sound folder. I must be placing the sound files incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'll check this forum for any similar post while waiting for any member responses.
August 23, 2025Aug 23 Administrators What download did you use and to be corrrect, is Your Sim FSX? There is usually more to do than just placing the files in the Sound folder.

August 24, 2025Aug 24 Author Thanks for your response. Yes my sim is FSX. I downloaded an updated version of the A380-861 in Emirates livery. The installation directions said to move all the call out files into the main FSX sound folder. I first moved all the files (not the folder with the sound files in them). No call outs were heard, then I moved the call out folder including all the call out files into the main FSX sound folder, stil no call outs were heard. I have this problem with many of the call outs that are in the mfsx sound folder. Some work but many do not. Any help that you can give is much appreciated.
August 24, 2025Aug 24 Administrators The first thing is to link the A380-861 download so I can see what you are looking at! Was it this one from flightsium.com?

August 24, 2025Aug 24 Administrators In the past, I would put all of the effects into the FSX/Effects folder and anything like gauges in the aircraft/gauges folder and the same with sounds. I liked to keep gauges and sounds inside the particular aircraft they belonged to and not the Main FSX folder. Just making sure....since you only mentioned the sound files, you did put the gauges and effects files were they belonged?

August 24, 2025Aug 24 Author It was the A380-861 V2 on flightsim.com. I didn't see a version 3. Maybe I should find it and download it and forget the version 2. I put the guages, effects and sound files into the main MSFSX guages, effects and sound folders as the install instructions directed. I'll move the both the sound and guages files of these out of the main MSFSX sound and guages folders into the 380's airplalne's guages and sound folders and see if that makes any difference. I'll leave the effect files where I placed them into the main MSFSX's main effects folder. I did this and still no call outs. Should I have taken the call out files out of the call out folder instead of just placing the call out folder into the 380's sound folder. Also, what about the ground handling folder and files. I just have the grouind handling folder in the 380's souind folder. Again, your help/suggestions are much appreciated.
August 24, 2025Aug 24 Author I just deleted V2 of the 380-861 and dowloaded/installed V3 of the 380-861 and placed the sound and guages files directly into the airplanes main sound and guages folder with still no call outs.
August 24, 2025Aug 24 Administrators Sorry, I don't have a Sim at this time! I'm out of suggestions!
