Warwick Carter T-6

Here is a more detailed description of installing the cockpit sounds for the Warwick Carter T-6:

1. Copy the dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau from Doug Dawson's file dsd_fsx_xml_sound_v437.zip into your FSX Gauges folder.
2. Copy the CockpitSounds folder from the file cockpitsounds_v2.zip into your FSX Gauges folder.
3. Copy the contents of the CockpitSounds folder from the file cockpitsounds_t6.zip into your FSX Gauges\CockpitSounds folder (created in step 2).
4. Add the two lines as mentioned in the Readme_T6.txt (in the file cockpitsounds_t6.zip) to your panel.cfg file found in the SimObjects\Airplanes\FSDS_T-6\panel folder.
5. Done.

Did that and still nothing. Here are the lines in the panel.cfg:

Dawson's sound gauge is in the gauges folder as well.
 
If you have:
[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,1024
visible=1
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$texan_panel
gauge00=xml!fuel_sys, 48,10,35,31
gauge01=xml!fuel_system, 84,9,35,31
gauge02=xml!Glock, 127,13,14,14
gauge03=xml!gyro_compass, 0,735,350,350
gauge04=xml!compass, 336,729,350,350
gauge05=xml!adf, 102,518,450,164
gauge06=xml!com, 106,238,450,164
gauge07=xml!engine, 156,9,35,31
gauge08=xml!over, 204,12,20,20
gauge09=DSD_FSX_XML_Sound!Sound,0, 0, 0, 0, .\Gauges\CockpitSounds\CockpitSounds.ini
gauge10=CockpitSounds!KeyEvent_RAD_SND,0, 0, 1, 0

then it means you copied the lines from cockpitsounds_v2.zip instead of from cockpitsounds_t6.zip which I mentioned in step 3.

The proper entry should be:
[Vcockpit01]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,1024
visible=1
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$texan_panel

gauge00=xml!fuel_sys, 48,10,35,31
gauge01=xml!fuel_system, 84,9,35,31
gauge02=xml!Glock, 127,13,14,14
gauge03=xml!gyro_compass, 0,735,350,350
gauge04=xml!compass, 336,729,350,350
gauge05=xml!adf, 102,518,450,164
gauge06=xml!com, 106,238,450,164
gauge07=xml!engine, 156,9,35,31
gauge08=xml!over, 204,12,20,20
gauge09=DSD_FSX_XML_Sound!Sound, 0, 0, 0, 0, .\Gauges\CockpitSounds\CockpitSounds.ini
gauge10=CockpitSounds!KeyEvent_SND_T6, 0, 0, 1, 0

I don't know if it matters but I have no added entries for [Window01]; but then I always fly from the virtual cockpit only.
 
I might also add that it is imperative that you have both cockpitsounds_v2.zip and cockpitsounds_t6.zip or it just won't work.
 
Edit: Managed to get everything working by replacing the gauge file itself. Thanks for all the help. Falcon, perhaps give that a try. I didn't bother downloading the gauge file because one was already present in my directory, but replacing it seems to have fixed the problem.

Right you are. I also knew I had that gauge already and skipped that step. Downloading the newer version corrected it. Thanks!

Martin, I still think of that Aeroworx model from time to time, and wish I would have kept the screenshots that were posted of it way back when, so as to compare with today's standards. I remember it being in an over-all silver factory-finish scheme as the base scheme, and that I believe the textures were photoreal. It's awesome that you were part of the beta team and have it kept it all these years!

Will see if it loads up and take some screenshots - beta was in SAAF markings (which would superb on the Carter machine as they had T-6Gs). Always keep anything to do with the T-6 and this week should be re-acquainting myself with the type for the first time in over 10 years. So looking forward to this!

Cheers,

Martin
