Hi all, This is a problem I've been trying to solve in FS9 for some time now. When I edit the wind sound section in an aircrafts sound configuration folder I do not hear the changes as configured when flying. For example, I set the minimum speed to 250KTAS but the wind sound actually kicks in much earlier say at 125 KTAS during play, surely I should hear no wind sound until I reach 250KTAS as set then increasingly getting louder until it reaches maximum speed? The settings I choose in the wind sound section don't seem to correspond to what I hear whilst playing. If anyone has any ideas that would be great, maybe there is some other setting in FS9 interferring? Cheers

Yeah speeds check out as correct using that website. However even though I have specified minimum speed at which the wind sound is heard as 300KTAS it actually starts at around 220KTAS (depending on altitude) which makes me think the wind sound speeds are based on KIAS, if that makes any sense. Even if they are based on KIAS FS9 still plays the wind sound at the incorrect speeds. I also see a non-active member also noticed this problem back in 2004, this is what I found below on an older forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted 10 June 2004 - 10:55 PM I can not get the wind sound to play at the correct speeds in the default 737 or with the PMDG 737.The speed settings in the sound.cfg file don't seem to relate to the speeds at which the sound plays.In general, the sound starts playing MUCH earlier than the minimum speed, and the volume maximizes well before the maximum speed setting. In fact, the "ramp up" seems to be very sharp and unrealistic.Never had this problem with FS2002. I have tried re-installing FS2004, on 2 different machines, and the problem persists.Is this a general bug with FS2004? Could it be something to do with FSUIPC?Has anyone noticed this, and do you have a fix?

Hi thanks for reply, here is my wind sound config for Project Airbus A319, even though I've specified 300KTAS as the minimum speed the sound is heard when in play the wind sound actually starts much earlier at say 220KTAS, its pretty much the same for all of the aircraft I edit. Maybe something to do with system/PC // Wind Sounds ________________________________________________________________ [WIND_SOUND] filename=TSS-WIND flags=0 viewpoint=1 minimum_speed=300.00 maximum_speed=450.00 minimum_volume=0 maximum_volume=10000 minimum_rate=1.00 maximum_rate=1.00

Hi all, I am using FS2004 and have a problem with the wind sound. In the sound.cfg file under the wind sound section I have specified the minimum speed as 300 and the maximum speed as 400 (I assume the mentioned speed is in KTAS). However when running FS the wind sound actually starts at around 225KTAS, I thought the wind sound shouldn't be heard until the aircraft reaches 300KTAS or above as specified in the sound.cfg file. Also as the aircraft climbs the wind sound seems to drop off (gets quieter and slower playback rate) this usually occurs ar around 37,000ft and above. Is the wind sound supossed to effected by altitude as well? Am I doing something wrong or is the min/max speed setting for wind sound in the sound.cfg folder measured in something other than Knots? Any help or suggestions would be great! Cheers Joe

On the topic sound config files can anyone help with the following problem I've noticed in fs2004? I've had no luck so far. I am using FS2004 and have a problem with the wind sound. In the sound.cfg file under the wind sound section I have specified the minimum speed as 300 and the maximum speed as 400 (I assume the mentioned speed is in KTAS). However when running FS the wind sound actually starts at around 225KTAS, I thought the wind sound shouldn't be heard until the aircraft reaches 300KTAS or above as specified in the sound.cfg file.

Is the wind sound supossed to effected by altitude as well? Am I doing something wrong or is the min/max speed setting for wind sound in the sound.cfg folder measured in something other than KTAS? If it is KIAS then the sound still isn't played as per my configuration settings. Any help or suggestions would be great! Cheers Joe
