AI Sounds

Post by Avian »

Greetings, first post. Using FSX I have had no problem installing the MAIW sets I have downloaded. My problem does not really relate to MAIW any more than any other plane, it is to do with the ai sounds, I had successful been using Alan Constable's sound sets for all ai planes including the military ones, these are a great improvement over the default sounds, such sounds are called by a path in the soundai.cfg file in each planes folder.
Recently though FSX has ceased to play these sounds, and plays only the default, ignoring the path in the soundai.cfg file, (and very strangely, it has also ceased altogether playing the ground vehicle engine sounds, which is default!)

I have checked the relevant .wav files and all play perfectly, including the fuel truck sound the ground vehicles use.

Does anyone have any knowledge of a setting in any cfg file or otherwise that may be relevant to the way FSX plays the ai sounds?

Why would it ignore the soundai.cfg file?

I have posted this Q in two other forums including the FS developers forum with no joy so far and am hoping that somewhere I might find a knowledgeable bod to make a suggestion. (Apart from reinstall!) :shock:

I gave up and reinstalled, seems to be working again now. Thanks to all who looked even if you didn't have any ideas.

Sorry, haven't played around with the AI sound in FSX yet. I did move some sounds for my WOAI packages, great to hear the engines spool up on take off on the airliners. I need to see if I can have some burner sounds added to all the MAIW AI fighters, MCAS Miramar would get very loud quick!
