Small sound fix for Ant's T-28A Trojan

Bjoern

worst developer ever
I've always found the high RPM sound of Ant's otherwise fantastic T-28 to be earsplittingly loud. While this might very well hold true for the real thing, it made for a minor annoyance in FSX as I could hardly understand ATC. As this was a very specific scenario, it also didn't warrant turning down my speakers or meddling with the engine volume slider.
So long story short, here's a quick fix for the engine volume at high RPM.

Go into the Trojan's sound.cfg and add the following line to the end of the [Combustion.1.03] and [Combustion.1.07] sections:
Code:
maximum_volume=8500

This will limit the volume of the respective sound sample to 85db (8500/100).
You'll still get a volume and intensity increase across the RPM range, but at the same time, you won't need ear protection anymore.

This tweak (with an appropriate value) can by applied to any entry in any sound.cfg file, by the way. Great for fixing annoyingly loud stall warnings or fuel pump sounds or so.
 
you do know you could just get a USB headset and put the ATC on that adds for a little more realism and gets rid of all the sound issues

that's funny - I run the ATC sound over my monitors speakers and the rest of FSX through the surround speakers...that way I can adjust ATC volume independently and not have to wear a headset to hear it...

how do you separate the two?..ATC vs Aircraft..and one to the monitor,and one to the speakers ?
 
It's just in the sound options of the sim. You select each device for each category of sound if I remember correctly.

Not that I don't have headset, but nah.
