Editing Sound.cfg

If you want to alter the sounds of an aircraft, just edit the Sound.cfg file. The following example changes the volume of an aircraft's sounds; in this example, the volume of the aircraft's touchdown sound is reduced. The name of the aircraft is only a placeholder; this procedure applies to the modification of any Sound.cfg file.

To edit the Sound.cfg file and change an aircraft's sounds

  1. Open the Sound.cfg file (in this case, Lear45\sound\sound.cfg).

  2. The [left_touchdown], [right_touchdown], and [center_touchdown] sections of the Sound.cfg file configure the touchdown sounds. Change the initial_volume parameter of these sections from 10000 to 9400, as shown in the following code example.
    <Before editing>
    [left_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucl
    panning=-10000
    initial_volume=10000
    maximum_volume=10000

    [right_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucr
    panning=10000
    initial_volume=10000
    maximum_volume=10000

    [center_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucc
    panning=0
    initial_volume=10000
    maximum_volume=10000


    <After editing>
    [left_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucl
    panning=-10000
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=10000

    [right_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucr
    panning=10000
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=10000

    [center_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucc
    panning=0
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=10000


  3. Change the maximum_volume parameter from 10000 to 9400, as shown in the following code example.
    <Before editing>
    [left_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucl
    panning=-10000
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=10000

    [right_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucr
    panning=10000
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=10000

    [center_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucc
    panning=0
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=10000


    <After editing>
    [left_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucl
    panning=-10000
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=9400

    [right_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucr
    panning=10000
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=9400

    [center_touchdown]
    filename=xlmtoucc
    panning=0
    initial_volume=9400
    maximum_volume=9400
