No sound of aircrafts


After install some aircrafts of AvH (DC3, WEDJU 52) and of Groundcrew


(Gladiator MK1) and Curtiss Hawk III, Fokker DXX1 have no sound!!


What is wrong? All other aircrafts are o.k.


Thank you for help , best wishes

1. Did you install them into stock CFS3 or into ETO?

2. Read the read-me's!

Some of the planes require a seperate download for the sound-files, which is usually stated in the read-me.

cheers
 
Agreed with the above.

There are some good CFS2 sound files here at SOH which will also fit the bill - open the sound.cfg in the sound folder of the aircraft using notepad and see how it works. The path needs to point to a valid sound folder, whether or not this is actually installed in an aircraft (as in the stock aircraft) or in a special sounds folder (as in MAW and ETO.) Check with say the stock Spitfire IXc, which holds the actual sound folder, and the sounds.cfg in the Spitfire IXe/sounds folder, which targets it. You'll see.

A typical alias looks like this:

[fltsim]
alias=spitfire_ixc\sound

Meaning that the sound file used is in the sound folder of the Spitfire IXc, as mentioned above.


CFS2 sound files run perfectly well in CFS3, especially if you change the "header" in sound.cfg.

[FLTSIM]
product_code = FSIM

for

[CFS3]
product_code=CFS3

This is NOT in an "alias" sound.cfg, but in one that comes with loads of .wav files!

Until you get this sorted out, do NOT come out of CFS3 with one of these soundless aircraft loaded as player aircraft in QC, or you'll have trouble. Pick one of the stock aircraft, then quit. If you get stuck and it won't load next time you try to fire it up, go to C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Combat Flight Simulator 3.0 and delete uisel.xml. You'll be able to get back in then.

A quick bodge-fix is simply to copy the sound folder from a stock aircraft into the folder of the aircraft that's the problem. Not that accurate, but it'll get you flying without risk of lockups!
