Is there any way I can take a given aircraft's sound set and go through a sequence of startups, maneuvers, and shutdowns and capture the complete sequence of sounds into a high qualtity wav file? Because of the way these soundsets are combined when used by aircrafts during flight sim operation, you cannot just paste these together easily.

I am not sure, but I think you can use an utility called "Total Record" for this. I used it years ago, and I don't know if it still exists. It records all the sounds played on your PC into a wave file, just like Fraps records the image in a video file.Please let me know if it solves the problem.Eric
