RobdeVries Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hello, I activated sound at PAHO with the configurator. However at Homer I hear no sounds (birds etc). Only some faint ticking (not the thumping which is a sign of missing sounds). I do hear sounds at other (non OrbX) airports, like RTMM's Tezwa ranch. Any ideas?

Alex Goff Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hey Rob, I'm traveling today til midnight but when I am back at my workstation I'll get the filenames to check for. Something is probably just missing in the sound files Cheers, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobdeVries Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thanks Alex, I thought I noticed that at least Orbx_Sound_Marina_Activity2_controller.fx is missing but that has nothing to do with the birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Think what you're looking for is Orbx_Sound_PAHO_Birds, should be in your sound folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 i just had some trouble with missing textures and PeopleFlow at KSFF, and remembered an uncomplete refresh of FSUIPC in the last days. A complete new FSUIPC install did the trick for me. Must not be fitting to your missing flow, but is a cost-free trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobdeVries Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Thanks Bruce, Gerold, much appreciated. Both are present and fresh but still no sounds. But do you have Orbx_Sound_Marina_Activity2_controller.fx in your Effects folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 But do you have Orbx_Sound_Marina_Activity2_controller.fx in your Effects folder? I do not. Getting back to the obvious, have you checked your sound sliders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobdeVries Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Alex any news on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 My apologies, I'd flagged this thread to respond then forgot to do so. Looking back through the files... I'm not sure if the controller for the bird sounds is actually working! I made a WAV file of Alaskan Golden Crown Sparrows but none of the locations it is supposed to be active are working. FSX is very picky about its WAV files for effects so I'll have to dig around and see what the issue is. Are you getting sounds anywhere at Homer? There should be aircraft overhead and some activity on the marina. The marina and aircraft sounds are all included in the Orbx Libraries so if they are missing a reinstall will replace them.

RobdeVries Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I have the sound files (latest library installer Orbx Libraries: FTX AA ORBX LIBRARIES VER 151001 1ST OCTOBER 2015) but no sounds at all at PAHO. Only some odd ticking sound and of course the ubiquitous noise from airport traffic or ships (not OrbX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Could you verify that the file "Orbx_PAHO_PLC_sound.bgl" is in the ...ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_PAHO\Scenery directory and set to BGL and not OFF? In addition, could you navigate to the Effects folder and list files that begin with Orbx_Sound_*.fx? I suspect that the PAHO installer did not include some necessary files and so users without those files from other airports will likely be missing the sounds. Should be something I can hotfix via FTX Central I'll just need to identify the missing ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobdeVries Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Orbx_PAHO_PLC_sound.bgl is available in ...ORBX\FTX_NA\FTX_AA_PAHO\Scenery and not set to OFF. Bgl2XML in the following Orbx_PAHO_PLC_sound.bgl fx files are called but: Orbx_Sound_Plane_Overhead_controller.fx not available in Effects Orbx_Sound_Truck_Starting_controller.fx not available in Effects Orbx_Sound_Marina_Activity2_controller.fx not available in Effects Orbx_Sound_PAHO_birds_controller.fx is available in Effects Orbx_Sound_PAHO_birds.fx is available in Effects Orbx_Sound_PAHO_birds.wav is available in Sound but does not seem to work But I do see names like Orbx_Sound_Plane_Overhead2.fx (note the "2") Perhaps the wrong fx are called or the controller file is missing?

Realize everyone is busy can understand. Waiting on a reply as well. Having the exact same issue with no sound at PAHO. Checked the settings and files per instructions. The Orbx_Sound_PAHO_birds_controller Orbx_Sound_PAHO_birds did install. Sound folder does have the Orbx_Sound_Paho_birds is a wave file. Double click the wave file it does play. Double checked the AV Nod32 for virus detected. Nod 32 does not list any virus detected. Thank You Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I've logged the issue for a patch. FSX can be very picky about the sound files it plays, I'll probably need to change the file format around til it plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Goff Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Brief update, now that Welshpool is done I've turned my attention to Homer for some patchwork. The sound issue is fixed and will be in the next patch along with some other fixed/updated content and the P3Dv3 installer. So if you've got any other issues, log 'em now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
