  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Sikorsky S76A Spirit V1.0 released

Fuel pump sound:

Add this to the bottom of the sound.cfg (works for ANY aircraft using the default fuel pump .wav file, by the way!):
Code:
[fuel_pump]
maximum_volume=3000

Blade slap sound:

Find the sound-config.ini. In the lines containing "BELL4xx-SLAP1.wav, 100" and "BELL4xx-SLAP2.wav, 100", the "100" designates the gain for the audio sample. Lower the value (negative values are allowed) to make it quieter.
Bjoern, My problem with the Fuel Pump wav file was that it was attached to 3 non-fuel pump switches (both Gen Switches and the Battery). Those couldn't be turned off obviously, so I elected to rename the wav file to eliminate it completely.

I'll give the Blade Slap suggestion a go though.

Thanks

Well, a pump does need electricity...the question should rather be why it is coded to be always on. And the sound.cfg tweak makes the sound pretty much inaudible, so there's absolutely no need to rename WAV files.
 
I've no idea why this would make a difference, but I moved my XMLTools.dll to my Modules folder, it's now working fine.
Code:
      <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>XMLTools</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
        <Path>Modules\XMLTools.dll</Path>
        <DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
        <DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
      </Launch.Addon>
