Sounds only plays when located in steam folder

1st Official Post

    A little stumped by this - Below is the code for the sound linked to a compressor stall. The sound only plays when in C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator\aircraft\a321_xlr

    The Mod lives here - Documents\Aerofly FS 4\aircraft\a321_xlr\Neo_sounds_mod

    I've tried placing compressor-stall.tsb inside the mod folder, and in the root of the Documents A321 folder. Always silent unless I put it back in the Steam folder


    // ENGINE 1 COMPRESSOR STALL / FLAMEOUT SOUND
    // Safe trigger: Engine1Burning falling
    // ============================================================

    First of all use all lower case letters and underscores only for folder names. Android, iOS, Windows, etc treat file names differently, to stay compatible only lower case letters and underscores must be used. Replace the dash in the file name to an underscore as well.

    Secondly if you put the files into a subfolder then you also need to specify that in the SoundFile property, see the A320 iae sounds for an example.
