• 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 Sound Problem

I notice my newest project has a strange sound problem.

When I go to outside view after shutting engines off, the sound of one
engine sound file is still running. It's very loud when I swing the view to the front....

This problem is on my own custom sound set. So I tried the default fsx 737 and it does the same.....

So even a perfect sound set still causes this problem. Also I noticed if i hit slew while in vc the sound gets really loud and the engines are off.

So slew is interfereing with my sound too. I tried to make a gauge to disable slew. That did not help, because it still turns on slew for a second....

So what the heck is the problem here?

I don't know the cause but it sounds like the same problem I have seen in some payware aircraft.

While its not much help in solving the base issue - have you tried going to one of the pull down menus?-- Go to the map view-and then back to the exterior view? I've found that sometimes kills the engine noise.
 
maybe air file

I will try that....

i am thinking the problem is in the air file......

Thanks for the tip....DG:eek:
 
update

I found the problem.......

Update.........

I reinstalled fsx. Fired up the 747 and did a full shut down. Some engine sounds or apu are still running. What a joke.
The FSX 747 uses the 737 sound files. Which means it's using 2 sounds for 4 engines. So basically the 747 default fails right after installing the game.
So any 4 engine jet will run into problems. This means there is a bug when using 4 jet engines...........holy crap

For my project I used 2 engines and it works perfect..........

Actually I think that is a problem since Windows Vista and now 7. It's because ( I believe) they bascially changed the whole way DirectSound calls are made.

Usually you can force the sound to stop by pressing Sound On/Off twice (i.e. default QQ) or cycling views.

As well as engine sounds, I have also experienced the same thing with helicopter skid touchdown sounds.
