Carenado sale at PC Aviator through Dec. 19

[Kiwikat]

The stock white plastic panel is horrible, so I made my own fake wood plastic panel.

Do you have that uploaded anywhere? I'm interested in it.

Well, thanks to the temptation provided by the sale, I picked up my first Carenado product: the C152 II. Very nice indeed.

Is there any practical way (for computerdummies) to add splashsound to her? To Bills Kodiak would be nice too..

Cheers, Thilo

Sure hope so. This is one I purchased that I've suddenly become addicted to.

Exploring the Queen Charlotte Islands at present.....

Hi Thilo,

I don't have the Carenado 172, but I do have Bill's Kodiak. What I did to add the splash sound to the Kodiak is as follows:

1.) Go to your C208B\Sound folder, and backup SOUND.CFG. (We're using this one, since that's what the kodiak is mapped to for sound.)

2.) Open the SOUND.CFG in the C208B\Sound folder using a program like Notepad.

3.) Scroll down to the block of code that reads:

[GROUND_ROLL]
filename=bnroll
flags=125218
viewpoint=1
minimum_volume=6000
maximum_volume=9600
minimum_speed=3
maximum_speed=25
minimum_rate=0.80
maximum_rate=0.95
link=GROUND_ROLL1
 
[GROUND_ROLL1]
filename=bnroll2
flags=135380
viewpoint=1

4.) Add the following code immediately under the 'viewpoint=1' entry:

link=GROUND_ROLL2
 
[GROUND_ROLL2]
filename=waterloop
flags=8
minimum_volume=6000
maximum_volume=9300
minimum_speed=3
maximum_speed=55
minimum_rate=0.95
maximum_rate=1.10

5.) Save the SOUND.CFG file, load up the Kodiak, and land or take off in water and you should have the splash sounds now.

The values I used are the ones from the default Beaver, and that's how I accomplished getting splash sounds on the Kodiak. As for the splash sounds for the Carenado, I don't know if they're aliasing the sound from another plane or if it has it's own sound set (for the 172), so I can't help you with that one, unfortunately. However I would expect the principle to be the same.

Good luck, and hope this helps.

Thank you, George,

Your Kodiak splash works great, of course, but no sucess with the C172...
The soundcfg has 6 ground roll entries?! Then I looked into the C206 soundcfg, she has splashsound, here Carenado works with the fuselagescrape entry - tried same with the C172, but...,Hey, this is nothing that stops me from sleep at night!
Thanks for the Kodiak!

Cheers, Thilo

I couldn't resist it......

I had to pick up the ski equipped 172 in the last couple of hours of the sale. Been running around the mountains around Fairbanks since....

Thilo, the water splash sound should be tied to a GROUND_ROLL section. If the last GROUND_ROLL is 6 in the Carenado C172, I'd suggest using the same section I pasted above for the Kodiak, but change the numbers so that they're one higher than the highest current GROUND_ROLL section.

So if your last GROUND_ROLL section is GROUND_ROLL6, then at the very end of that section, directly under the last line, paste in the code the following way:

link=GROUND_ROLL7

[GROUND_ROLL7]
filename=waterloop
flags=8
minimum_volume=6000
maximum_volume=9300
minimum_speed=3
maximum_speed=55
minimum_rate=0.95
maximum_rate=1.10

The 'link=GROUND_ROLL7' part needs to be there to activate the GROUND_ROLL7 section. The 'flags=8' is the part that tells the sim that this sound is active in water, and waterloop is the actual name of the file that is played back that contains the water sounds.

Hope that helps you get it working on the C172 from Carenado, and best of luck.
