The easiest way that I've found is to:
1. Copy the 64 bit DLL to the panel folder.
2. Change the file name of the 64 bit DLL to whatever the 32 bit file was named. For example Sound.DLL. (That way you don't have to make any changes to the panel.cfg and it will read the original INI file.)
Voila!
Thanks for the input. I got the dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.zip it contains the dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll ( I guess that goes in the main gauges folder.
Then there is the dsd_fsx_xml_sound.ini file -
but after reading Doug Dawson's readme for the dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll
He has a sample Panel syntax:
gauge10=dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64!Sound, 2,2,2,2,./gauges/dsd_xml_sound.ini >>>> This ini had a dozen sound file entries - I only need one.
gauge11=dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64!Debugger, 420,550,600,80
His sound.ini is loaded with a bunch of calls for at least 10 sounds;
[Sounds]
Sound00=\PanelSounds\dsd_xml_00.wav, -1500
Sound01=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_01.wav, -2000
Sound02=Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_02.wav
Sound03=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_03.wav
Sound04=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_04.wav
Sound05=CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA\dsd\dsd_xml_05.wav
Sound06=CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA\dsd\dsd_xml_06.wav
Sound07=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_07.wav
Sound08=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_08.wav
Sound09=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_09.wav
Sound100=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_100.wav
Sound999=.\Sound\dsd\dsd_xml_999.wav
There is this mumbo jumbo I don't understand:
For those who haven’t used earlier versions of the gauge, each sound is controlled by a separate XML L:Variable (hereinafter referred to as an LVar.) You control the sound by setting the control variable (LVar) to the value that corresponds to the action you want. You assign LVars to sounds using a configuration file. Specify the configuration file in panel.cfg, as a fifth parameter for the “Sound” gauge element – see the example above. The gauge will follow the following methods in evaluating a supplied configuration file string:
Now, I want to use Manfred's DC-3 brake.wav for the brake sound in the FR DC-4 -
So where do I place the ini and the wave sound in P3D?
I have tried to make the entries in my panel/cfg by adding gauge entries and nothing works.
I know I messed up somewhere - Doug Dawson has a lot of options in his readme and I just can't absorb it all.
I know I have his basic tools here and I know where the sound is that I want to use, it's just setting up the panel.cfg and file placement that has me stumpd.
Thanks
