• 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/P3D - Not able to create cone sound

Hello!

Now I am creating sound for Tu-154B2 (not Tu-154M like previously).
This plane (video is from FS9 but I would like to create the sound also for FSX/P3D):

The problem that I have is that when for example the engine is on idle, when looking from the front of the plane outside, and then change the camera angle, it sounds the same with the same volume.
In that time I have the idle sound played and another sound of exhaust that has to be sound at the highest volume when looking from the back of the plane outside.
So it had to sound the idle from the front, and the more angle changes then the volume of it should be decreased and the volume of the exhaust should be increased but the problem is that isn't happen!

That's what I wrote in the sound.cfg for these two sounds of outside idle (AX1) and exhaust (AExhaust):
Code:
[COMBUSTION.1.07]
filename=AX1
flags=0
viewpoint=2
rparams=0.555285,0.936170,0.600813,1.297872
vparams=0.000000,12.078153,0.061789,12.255773,0.182927,12.078153,0.270732,12.078153,0.347154,12.078153,0.406504,12.078153,0.555285,12.255773,0.604065,0.000000
InsideConeAngle=90
OutsideConeAngle=270
ConePitch=0.000000
ConeHeading=0.000000 -----> Determines that the direction is to the front
OutsideConeVolume=9600
link=COMBUSTION.1.08

Code:
[WHINE.1.00]
filename=AExhaust
flags=0
viewpoint=2
rparams=0.000000,0.531915,1.000000,2.000000
vparams=0.001626,0.000000,0.122764,3.019538,0.210569,5.328597,0.300000,7.992895,0.446341,8.525755,0.571429,9.769094,0.714286,11.190053,0.998374,13.321492
InsideConeAngle=90
OutsideConeAngle=270
ConePitch=0.000000
ConeHeading=180.000000 -----> Determines that the direction is to the back
OutsideConeVolume=9600
link=WHINE.1.01

I even increased the volume of the file "AExhaust.wav" itself but it still not help.
I tested it only on the first one engine running.
The problem is that it sounds exactly the same outside from all the directions!
The files:

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/yd6pn1694s32a6n/AExhaust.wav

What is wrong there?

Thanks!

The strangest thing - I took another 2 sound files of idle and exhaust from the soundpack of Turbine Sound Studios for Tu-154M, just for checking, and it worked perfectly!
But of course the idle sound of B2 and M are different, and also the exhaust sound of B2 and M are different, so I can't use them.
I can't understand what is wrong with what I do.
Maybe the volume difference between the idle sound file and the exhaust sound file has to be specific?
