• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX custom music sound effects for FSX

Ok, I've been toying around with some effects for fsx. Now here's my problem, I want to assign a certain 'music' or 'song' to my fx_aurora effects file. I put it in as instructed in the SDK effects manual. But, when I start the effect, nothing happens, all I get is my normal background sounds. I can't seem to get my 'song' to play in the corresponding effect. what I need to know is when entering the 'distance' parameter, is the value in feet or meters. I have the effect displaying at about 1000 feet. The parameter for sound in the effect is set to 300, but I am not sure if that is supposed to be in feet or meters. I couldn't find any reference to it in the manual,(unless I missed it somewhere). What I want to do is have a different song played in different areas using a different Aurora effect. I have the Aurora displaying correctly and at the correct distance and only appears when you get in range, but I have no music. the music file isn't all that large (only a few MB) and is in a .WAV format. I just can't get it to play with the corresponding effect (in this case it's fx_aurora5.fx). Can anybody help me figure this out? I'm certain it can be done. Do the music files have to be in a particular directory and in a particular filename? Help please.
