A3xx and custom sounds

  • I've been away from home for a few weeks, I have noticed a new update that includes a nose gear fix for the A319. I've backed up the A319 folder, is there a way to exclude the sound entries from being overwritten? I've enhanced the ground roll (for bass feedback transducers) engine spool sounds,wind, electrical buss transfer clunks, pack flow sounds etc.


    My plan at the moment is to copy the A319 folder back, and manually change the nose gear settings to reflect the update.


    Thanks

  • Changing files in the Steam directory is calling for trouble. Steam can just overwrite them at any time. You could create a copy of the aircraft and keep it in your user documents folder. You just have to change the folder name from "a319" to something like "a319mod" and inside the folder the files a319*.tmd, tmb and .tmc need to be renamed to a319mod*.tmd, tmb and .tmc respectively. The next update will probably make the mod not work again and you'll have to manually merge your sound changes again.

    Thanks for the quick reply, you guys are awesome

    Does this update minimise the nose « dipping » during tighter turns (7-12 knots)?

    The landing gear was stiffened so that the reduced leverage of the A319 nose gear (due to shorter fuselage) is less of an issue. Affects braking and all other nose down torque tendencies.

    Great to hear, I was about to report it otherwise. Are other aircraft bugfixes (747 chime, 737 FADEC) going to be implemented during an upcoming major update?

    Off topic but the 747 chime is already working in the cabin last time I checked and FADEC should be fixed with the next major update, yes.
