• 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.

Seatbelt Switch Sounds

In FSX,how do I modify a sound & or panel cfg /cab file to enable me to have different sounds for different switches?

For example - the Seatbelt switch - switch on, a cabin announcement & switch off - a different announcement.

Lets say we use the Airbus A321 as an example. I can modify the sound files but have very little knowledge of the inner workings of triggers/switches.

Regards

Paul
 
+1 I am interested in something similar. I have an excellent B737 panel in FS2004 with active switches (they toggle) for both Fasten your seatbelts and No smoking signs. Unfortunately when you toggle them you hear NOTHING, not even a boring click.

In my FS9 sounds directory there is a "signs.wav" file that plays the familiar ding-dong sound as in real a/c. This sound is used in some other gauge of another panel.

Now, HOW do I make these two switches emit that sound? it is something that adds to the feeling of realism short of having actual voice announcements but it is often disregarded by panel designers.
 
For XML gauges and FS9, the only option is to either write your own C sound interface, or use Doug Dawson's freeware XML Sound utility available at http://avsim.com in the File Library.
