• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

CAT Question

Messages

I have been working on a series of lighthouses along the shores of the Great Lakes, primarily in the State of Michigan.

I think I know the answer to this one but it sure would be nice if I were wrong. Does anyone know of a way to trigger a WAV file using CAT?

I would love to trigger a fog horn at the lighthouses. I figure about 200 db might wake up a chopper pilot or two....

One better (for the next version Arno) would be to trigger when the visability was restricted. :stirthepo

Thanks,

Hi Al,

I think sound can only be attached to effect files and these can not be triggered with CAT (also not with the Fs2004 version), because the attached effects just don't respond to them.

Maybe you can do something with the effect code itself, but I am not an expert in that.

I am not sure if there is a variable for visibility distance, but if there is you can of course use that in CAT to trigger something.
 
Hi!

If I´m not all mistaken, adding a sound effect is mentioned in the Effects SDK itself. It does not say much, but it is do-able.
