Adding Bells and Whistles - Literally

[Guest pecrowther]

Ahoy all!I am getting ready to upload an updated model of the Liberty Ship, complete with smoke and sound effects.Since this was a steam-powered ship, I assume that it doesn't have much in the way of engine sounds. The windnoise seems to provide a pretty good general sound from inside the ship. Is there any way to create an external general sound?Also, I found a litte sound sample with a ship's horn. I can rig the sound.cfg file to play the sound when you press keys, such as XX (inactivate autopilot). Is there a better way to do this?Also, how can I create an external ship horn sound? Right now, you can only hear it from inside the ship.Thanks,Phil

Try taking a look at dsd_xml_sound.zip in the library for playing sounds, and do a search of this forum for timers/timer/timing to automate your sound playbacks.

Phil,I have actually now got the xml_sound utility working directly with xml L:Vars, rather than through FSUIPC. If you want to try this out for the project at hand, let me know.Doug
