FooFighters Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thanks for the special discount for older MTX users. I have purchased the 5.4 version yesterday (coming from 5.2) Everything is installed (and completely removed MTX 5.2), and MTX planes are visable in FSX. The problem is that all planes only make taxi sounds. When I park my plane near the runway there is no engine spool up sound from the MTX AI planes taking off. I also bought Flight one's Audio Enviroment Airliners edition, hoping that this works better. I started with FSX and MTX 5.4 clean install, did a test, and then installed the AE sounds. The problem remains.. no startup or spool up sounds.. only taxing. Is this normal MTX behaviour ? or should I hear the spool up sound during AI takeoff ? I am not 100% sure, but as far as I remember MTX 5.2 did have spool up sounds. Thanks, Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooFighters Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I found the problem (with help of the flight one AE forum). In the FSX.cfg Sound_Lod=1 must be set to 0 Now its all well.. great combination between MTX and AE ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks for that hint, never new of that variable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooFighters Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi Burkhard, Just out of curiosity.. can you check what your FSX.cfg sound_lod says 0 or 1 ? Thanks, Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It is 0, as installed by FSX. So it must be some weired addon that eliminates all sounds that are only to be heared from nearby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FooFighters Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Strange.. glad I found the solution :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Did you ever run any of the so called "optimizers" or "enhancers" or "tuning tools", which promise higher frame rates (and do nothing but switch off 90% of the FSX options and bring it down to FS2004 level) ?

FooFighters Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not that I can remember, I know my way around the FSX.cfg, so I ussualy do all the tweaking by hand. You're 100% right about these programs.. a real waste of money. FSX is a beautiful program if you set it up the right way :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbjoh Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi Burkhard, I am still a little confused about AI sounds. I have all the latest updates for MTX but like the OP, I still only hear a faint sound of AI planes as they taxi by. I looked in the AISound folder and it said the volume was set a 50%, I tried to change it to 100% for testing and the change would not set and reverted to 50% Please tell me how to get all the sounds from our AI that the OP asked about. Thanks Bob Johnson Detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 No idea, the MyTraffic aircraft do nothing about the AI sound, that is pure stock FSX identical to what FSX does with its AI aircraft. MyTraffic is not a sound addon nor modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbutler1942 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Bob Do a search for Alan Constable on Flightsim.com. He as a payware programme available at www.simmarket.com which installs some AI sounds. There is also something on startup sounds You can install your own. Do a search for Persson ( 2 s's) If you open any of the soundai.cfg (inside the aircraft folders) you will see that the alias points to an aircraft\soundai folder all you need to do is change that entry to the full path of your downloaded aircraft sound For example my B733MX contains a soundai.cfg which reads: [fltsim] alias=C:\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Misc\Traffic_Sounds\Jets\sound_B737\soundai So I have a folder called sound_B737 inside of which is folder called soundAI this contains my sounds (for the 737) Inside the soundai folder is a file called sound.cfg change this to soundai.cfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbjoh Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 That's great news, just what I wanted this could really improve things. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for helping out - if you have a product that has so many disciplines as MyTraffic has it is necessary to define some limits and let others take care of what is beyond.
