• 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.

FXEditor crashes on effect audio unmute

Hello,
I'm trying to set up an ambient sound at an airport. However, when I unmute the audio, FXEditor crashes. The effect file I'm using is a direct copy of a working ambient effect that I have used in one of my previous sceneries. I have only modified the audio file name to match the new sound.

The sound itself is compiled as a PCM Signed 16-bit, 22050hz, 352kbps, Mono WAV file, just like my other working audio files. Even so, this new audio file is the only one of the like-formatted sound files to crash FXEditor on unmute.

The problem file is ESD_Frog_Croak.wav

I have included the FX file, the problem WAV and a working WAV file below. Maybe someone can spot something that I'm overlooking??

Download: FXEditor_ESD_Files.zip

Thanks!

I'll have a look. Maybe I can make FXEditor a little more robust.

OK. The issue lies within my evening stupidity. After sleeping it off, I've realized that it helps to select that I'm using P3Dv3 as my working directory when I'm using P3Dv3 as my working directory.. Just a simple settings mistake since the other files are in my FSX folder, but the new sound wasn't.

It should not crash when a file is not found. So that sounds like a bug on my side.
 
Hi,

Yes, that was the case. There was no good check if the sound file was there on the expected path. I have fixed it now and in the next development release it won't happen again.
