    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Changing or Aliasing Sounds in MSFS

Hi all,

with thankfully more and more radial engined aircraft making their appearance in MSFS, I find myself
longing for the great sounds we have experienced in FS9 and FSX.
Often thanks to the great contributions from folks around here.

In those sims I had no trouble fixing sounds or modifying an aircraft to use one soundset or another.
With the, to me rather cumbersome, file structure in MSFS I am not finding a way to do that.

Is that even possible in MSFS or am I barking up a dead tree.
If at all possible I would for example even use the best sounds of FS9 in MSFS, such as those we used in the Connie series.

Cheers
Sunny
 
It's very easy to replace an existing soundset with one from another MSFS aircraft, or even an FS9/FSX/P3D soundset. You just have to remember that you have to recompile a new .JSON file so that the new sound files will be found when you load the aircraft.

I have attached the very easy-to-use "Auto JSON" executable I use (that I can't seem to find anywhere online anymore). Once you place the new sounds & sound.cfg file into the sound folder of the MSFS aircraft of your choosing, open the Auto JSON executable and click on the directory to navigate to your community folder and select the aircraft's main folder (the folder that contains the .JSON file). Once selected, it will automatically generate a new .JSON file and all you have to do is click save as and you're good to go.

Thanks for that, I am going to put that into action tomorrow. I think this just might make it easy enough even for me šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒ
