4.6 How can I set up turboprop sounds that will work with both jets and props?

Q:

HOW CAN I SET UP TURBOPROP SOUNDS THAT WILL WORK WITH BOTH JET AND PROP CONFIGURED TURBOS?

A:

The answer is in the SOUND.CFG file. Aircraft with a jet engine look for a first entry of [JET_ENGINE] Aircraft with a recip engine look for a first entry of [SOUND_ENGINE] Then each entry chains to subsequent entries for higher revs or external sounds. You may name these whatever you like. So a SOUND.CFG file that would work with BOTH jet and recip engines would read:

[SOUND_ENGINE]
...
...
filename=sound1   (internal sound at low revs for recip-engined models)
link=IJD1

[IJD1]
...
...
filename=sound2  (internal sound at high revs for recip-engined models)
link=xijd1

[XIJD1]
...
...
filename=sound3  (external sound at all revs for recip-engined models)

[JET_ENGINE]
...
...
filename=sound1  (internal sound at all N1% for jet-engined models)
link=xjet1

[XJET1]
...
...
filename=sound3   (external sound at all N1% for jet-engined models)

[GEAR_DOWN}
filename=flapsXYZ   (gear sound for both recip and jet engined models)
...

[FLAPSH]
filename=gearXYZ   (flaps sound for both recip and jet engined models)
...
[etc]

Each of the files named above after filename= must EITHER be in your FS98\sound folder OR in the same folder as the SOUND.CFG which refers to them - as xxxx.WAV (e.g. sound1.wav).
