Hello!

I downloaded the superhornet package by "Team FS KBT" by Daisuke Yamamoto & Hiroaki Kubota

http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military19.htm

I am having a problem with the plane: it crashes Flight Simulator.

What happens is that right after takeoff as I reach 740 knots (approx the speed of sound at the altitude I am at) I start seeing vapors forming around the plane (which is normal) then FS freezes, and the following message box appears:

"creation failed - check if sound file is available"

Any idea how I can fix this? anybody had a problem like this with it? (if you used the plane that is).

Thank you!

Firstly, Make sure that all the sound files are where they are supposed to be, however, that shouldn't crash the game.

Secondly, what the hell are you doing hitting 740kts "right after takeoff"?

What marksman said..

Copy the contents of the Sound folder in the Fa18 file to the main fs sound folder....It probably wants to do a sonic boom.......but can't find that file....

Try it and see if it works!

Yep, that is what I was going to say. Trying to do the sonic boom but

740 Knots after take off??? Did you know that in the real world, it's illegal to fly over 250 knots indicated below 10,000 feet (unless your aircraft is incapable of sustaining level flight below that speed)?
Anyway, you're panel config is probably trying to find the sound "sonic boom". You can go into the panel.cfg and use notepad to edit out that sound it's looking for. Before you do that, make a backup copy of it and save it as "panel.cfg_orig". Then you can rename the edited one "panel.cfg" - When and if you find the sonic boom sound , revert to the original panel config and see what happens. It's quite possible that the sound "sonic boom" is really a GAUGE you can't see on the panel's bitmap. If that's the case, the procedure is the same except for the fact that the panel config will say "gaugeXX=sonic boom" (or something to that effect) if you can't find it being referred to as "sound=sonic boom". I had a similar problem in FS2002 with an F16. In FS2004, all gauges can be kept in the panel folder, which is brilliant if you ever want to delete a plane because you won't have to go hunting for the gauges that the panel requires in the "Gauges" folder. I now make a habit of putting all the panel's gauges into their panel folder - NOT in the gauges folder. This is one of the nicer things Microsoft did in FS2004.
Good luck and let us know if this rectifies the problem!
