FSXA Effect stops, sound continues

[Dave Torkington]

Hi all,

I've made an engine test building along with a simple engine smoke and sound effect that I've placed using simple xml code as per the SDK [or so I thought].

The smoke effects work fine for the three minutes as prescribed, but the sound just keeps on looping until I either hit slew on and off, or turn the FSX sound on and off [press Q].

Could anyone help me fix this please?

Here's the effect file and xml
