External + Internal touchdown sound

Featured Replies

Hi,I am willing to edit the sound.cfg file of a certain aircraft so I can have touchdown sound different for external and internal view.After reading the default 737 sound config file, I thought there was no way I could do that:[left_TOUCHDOWN]filename=bmtouch1, bmtouch2, bmtouch3, bmtouch4minimum_volume=10000On studying another aircraft sound cfg file I started thinking that it could be possible:[left_TOUCHDOWN]filename=TCHDNflags=0viewpoint=1minimum_volume=1000maximum_volume=1000But all I try fails. I have tried to double the snippet of code changing the viewpoint of the second one to 2: Only the first is played.I have also tried to double it changing the keys to LEFT_TOUCHDOWN.0 and LEFT_TOUCHDOWN.1: in this case none is played.Can someone help me, please?Is it possible to have both (internal and external) sounds of touchdown?Silvestre

The only possible way I can see would be to have multiple entries and use the viewpoint flag. Mind you, I've not tested this!viewpoint Determines when the sound is audible, one of:1 = internal cockpit views2 = external spot and tower views [left_TOUCHDOWN]filename=bmtouch3viewpoint=1[left_TOUCHDOWN]filename=bmtouch4viewpoint=2

I already tried that and wasn't successful. How should I name the keys? LEFT_TOUCHDOWN both,LEFT_TOUCHDOWN.0 and LEFT_TOUCHDOWN.1? Thanks!Silvestre

Definetly I can't make it.I have tried:(LEFT_TOUCHDOWN)*filename=Lflags=0viewpoint=1minimum_volume=9000maximum_volume=10000(LEFT_TOUCHDOWN.1)*filename=XLflags=0viewpoint=2minimum_volume=9000maximum_volume=10000Only the first one is played no matter the view.*AVSIM won't show square brackets, so I had to use parenthesis here
