4.3 How do I create a sound.cfg file?

From FlightSim

Q:

I DOWNLOADED A TURBOWAV SOUND PACKAGE FOR FS98. HAS DIFFERENT SOUNDS FOR IDLE, CRUISE, AND EXTERIOR. NO TEXT FILES, NO SOUND.CFG FILE. NO HELP. I TRIED USING IT, BUT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO CREATE A SOUND.CFG FILE FOR IT TO WORK. I'VE LOOKED AT THE OTHER SOUND.CFG FILES, BUT DON'T KNOW WHATS REQUIRED OR HOW TO SET UP THE DIFFERENT SOUNDS, IE: [WHAT HEADINGS/TITLES TO USE]

A:

Compare the names of your new sound files, and how many of them there are, to the default C182 and Lear \sound directories. If you have the same names and numbers of files, then just copy all the files over to your turboprop plane, Then copy the new sound files there and overwrite - you're in business.

If the names are not the same, but there are the same number of sound files - ie like this:

ceidle.wav   ce1.wav   ce2.wav   ce3.wav  ce4.wav

and the same set for outside sounds:

xceidle.wav xce1.wav xce2.wav xce3.wav xce4.wav (10 engine sound
files total for prop models)

Then you can copy as the first example, delete the default files, and rename you turboprop set to the names above and you're set.

If there are only 2 sound files, then they are for the jet models, which only have one inside and outside sound. Copy the Lear or 737-400 sound file directory to your new plane, copy your new turbo files, delete either xbe3.wav and be1.wav (737) or xle2.wav and le2.wav (Lear) and rename your files to those names.
