• 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.

I am working on a search and rescue scenario with a stricken yacht. I am wanting to put in an ELT /EPIRB that transmits on 121.5. As you get closer, the sound should get stronger. It should only be heard if the audio / com is tuned on 121.5. I think it should have a radius of about 10nm. Anyone got any ideas on how to insert this sound effect?
I did a search of the forum so far, and noted the previous efforts with sounds. I too did a search of the effects and found that sound type and paramater were mentioned, but the microsoft SDK made no mention as to how to manipulate them or incorporate them.:confused:
 
I don't know if you can add it by an effect. But maybe you can put an invisible NDB on the scenery which transimt on 121.5 MHz emergency frequency.
 
I think NDBs don't go any lower than 190....but that would certainly be a good way to do it. Does an ELT have to broadcast on 121.5?
 
Oh, sorry, I would write VOR. You can add to the scenery a VOR which have a morse code ELT ( . [E], .-.. [L], - [T] ), a range of 10NM and transmit on 121.5, the real aviation emergency frequecy.
In your radio stack you can set Com2 to 121.5 and listen the morse code while you are 10NM close to the location.
