Need help with CDRADIO

Postby A/SGT.Mav316 » Thu Feb 26, 2004 9:51 pm

Is anyone using the CDRADIO guage on any of their aircrafts and able to get it to work.

I am having problems starting the tracks, I was able to save them to the FM and AM channel, But when I switch over to the CD option it won't play any of the tracks.

Can someone help me with this? I have followed to the Readme file to the letter and It doesn't tell you how to start listening to tracks. It just has a prev.cd button, next cd track button and a pause button.

Where is the play button? !  ???

That would be a negative,

The CDradio guage doesn't have a play button, according to the creator when you turn on the CDRADIO guage, it is suppose to load pre-installed music selections. But unfortunately for the have not. I am writing to the creator and he is giving me instructions on how to set this up on my pc to work.

The first thing I really need to do is install the FS9 NO CD patch, so that the drive needs no FS9 CD in it to play the game. Because what I am experiencing using this thing is when I start the CDRADIO it is reading whatever I have in my DVDrom so I am assuming it is looking for the music to play. That is why I need to install the CD Patch that way I can design specific CD tracks for the CDRADIO since it seems to play songs right off the DVD rom player.

Ah sorry, I presumed you had the no-cd patch allready.

Yeah all the cd radio gauges in the past had play buttons.

I downloaded the no cd patch and I am stomped on where to overide the FS9.exe.

I downloaded the one from here on SimV. Do you know how to install it.

Because I don't want to delete the wrong file and mess up all the other files.

Case re-opened

This CDRadio guage presents more problems then it resolves.

The creator suggested altering the DVD/CD Rom properties to get the CDRADIO to work.

It actually did work, but he made my DVD drive turn into an audio Cd only player!  ::)! So Ihad to turn back the clock on the PC to correct that.

Now that I have my DVD player back I am going to see if the CDRADIO will work now the same way it did since the drive is free and not in use.

If this fails then I guess the recycling bin is going to have a new tenant!  :-/

You know that there are other cd radio gauges, don't you?

There is one in this aircraft http://www.rogernet.it/fsim/military/b2new-eng.htm The readme says:

The accomanying "gauge" file, AM_Radio_CD.gau, simulates a four channel push button AM Radio for playback of music, recorded broadcasts and the like from your computer's CD drive for purposes of ambiance and general entertainment while flying FS2000/FS98/CFS aircraft.
