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.
FS2004 The basics ...
- Thread starter Laura
- Start date
It's been a while since my last visit but anyway, i tried to get the gauge working again today - couldn't 
But, i tried to rename the "C172_VSPDsound.ini" located in D:\FS9\Sound\laura_c172VSPD and i got an error message while loading a flight.
I'd call it some sort of success, after all that was the first "feedback" i ever got from it
I then tried to edit the default .ini according to my needs - if FS couldn't find "C172_VSPDsound.ini" then it would load the default .ini so i figured - why not give that a try ?
No sounds played ...
I then tried to rename the sound files - nothing worked, it ust won't play
But, a few (maybe dumb) questions remain ...
Out of frustration i tried both ways - neither worked/made a difference ...
Same with the sound files ...
I'm just trying to find my mistake, but if the entry in the .ini says
it points to a .wav file named v80 and not v80.wav - right ?
I'd love to get it working, but i just don't know where to look for a mistake anymore
Btw. I got AFAS6 installed, could this cause any problems ?

Is the .xml named "speeds.xml" or just "speeds" ?

Your examples are a little bit disjointed. So I'll try to explain with examples from my setup. First I have a "dsd_xml_sound3.gau" in my "Flight Simulator 9\Sound" directory. Next I have a gauge in my aircraft panel .cfg
gauge65=dsd_xml_sound3!dsd_xml_sound3, 2,2,5,5,.\Aircraft\DMFS Shared Files\Vickers VC10 Panel\DM_VC10_sound.ini
This gauge as you can see points to where the ini. file is stored.
The ini. file has three zones [Config] [Sounds] [LVars]
In Doug's notes he tells you more or less what goes in the [Config]
Mine is :-
[Config]
MaxSounds=50
ErrorFlag= -1
LvarStop=DM SOUND STOP
VolumeVar=dsd_xml_sound_volume
ResetVolumeVar=1
The really important entry here is MaxSounds=50. That must be more then the actual number of entries.
Next [Sounds]
Sound32=./Aircraft/DMFS Shared Files/Vickers VC10 Panel/80.wav
This points to where the sound file is and what its name is (this is the sound for an 80kts callout)
Next [LVars]
Lvar32=Sound_80k
This is now the name for which the sim will search to link the sound file with the gauge that you want to make the sound.
Finally the gauge itself:-
<!-- 80kts Call -->
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(L:sound_played3,bool) 0 == (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) 1 == and (A:AIRSPEED INDICATED,knots) 76 >
(A:Turb eng1 N2, percent) 93 > and and
if{ 1 (>L:Sound_80k,number) 1 (>L:sound_played3,bool) }</Value>
</Select>
</Element>
Here you will see 1 (>L:Sound_80k,number) This is the actuall trigger to play the sound. the 1 being play it once only.
You may notice that in this gauge I have an error in that I can't do touch and go's. The sound plays once and once only!! (to be corrected).
