• 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.

P3D v4 Prop Sound or Non Combustion Sound at zero RPM?

Hey all,

I seem to have a odd prop sound going on. I use the prop sound for both Non-Combustion and also Prop sound zones. However, when I boot up into the plane, on the runway, power off, there is a slow prop flutter sound going on. The sound is definitely the prop. I have tried countless ways to get it out of there. I use FSSS for adjusting my sound configs. I have tried importing the prop and non-combustion zones from the Cessna 172 into my sound config and no joy. When I hit Q key two times (sound off/on/reset), the sound goes away. Sometimes its both inside and outside, usually just outside.

I have a gauge that turns off the engine when its on zero throttle setting. Oddly, I never have this issue till yesterday when installing new sounds and resetting their rates and volumes.

In FSSS, I have RPM's volume and rates not coming on until around 50 RPM.

Anyone know a fix for this? Seems elusive. I do not want to redo it all just because of this.

And... Oddly, at a certain point, while adjusting this and testing in P3D V4, I cross tested it in FSX Steam and it suddenly stops working, lol... Perhaps its a sign. Today is the 13th. Perhaps I should just let it sit till tomorrow and it will mysteriously start working again.

I edited out the non_combustion sections in a test sound config and the issue went away.

Further, there is still a 'prop sound' when in flight, with props animating (in motion) which stops when the fans stop, so all is well. Leaving 'non_combustion' sections out.
