I too have this sound issue. When changing from the cockpit to an outside view, the engine seem to be at full speed. I have searched Google for days trying to find a fix. If you are using Windows Vista or 7 with a Sound Blaster X-Fi or Audigy card like me, I think I have found a possible fix, but would like someone else to try it to make sure. See the ALchemy site (http://connect.creativelabs.com/alchemy/ALchemy/Home.aspx) for more information on games that use DirectSound3D. Vista and 7 no longer provide hardware acceleration for sound cards as did XP. Even though FSX is not listed on this site, I decided to give it a try. It worked for me and the big jet sound is much much better. You will need to have ALchemy installed (should have gotten installed when you installed the software for your sound card). If you need it, you can download it from creative - I just did the online software update and got all the software that was available for Win 7.For those that are not using a Sound Blaster, I am not sure what the fix will be for you since you are having the same problem. This is simple to doStart ALchemyClick AddEnter the Game TitleLocation: Use Registry or Game Path - I used the game path - x:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X (x: is your install location)Settings: I left everything as they are: 4, 25, 128Disable Direct Music - leave unchecked.Click OKSelect the game listed under Installed Games and click on the >> to add it to the ALchemy-enabled Games column. Close the application and start FSX - You will probably need to adjust the sound sliders under FSX.Overall I don't feel the sound is perfect, but this is FSX.Good luck and I hope this helpJames
