i accidently deleted the default 747 and 737 and now i have no sound files for my add on aircraft.... does anyone know here i can get the sound files from

rbyrne,

Hi and welcome to SimV.

Just go to the FS2004 CD's and copy the appropriate aircraft files back into the right places.  Not a re-install, use Explore.  I THINK thisw can be done... I KNOW it can with stuff like gauges and sceney files.

Hope this helps.

best,

The aircraft will be in one of the CAB files on one of the CDs. I don't know which one without checking. Unless you know what you're doing it might be easier to uninstall/install FS9.

Better idea...why not look for some sounds here on Simviation; once you find something to your liking, add those sounds to one of your aircraft, and then alias the sounds of the others to use it. I found four or five different jet sounds to use depending upon the size of aircraft (am not fanatical enough - YET - to have RR sounds on RR engines only). Am sure you would be impressed at how good some of these addons sound compared to the feeble hiss of the default jets.

I thought about suggesting something similar. It would be easy enough to create b737_400 & b747_400 folders with their own Panel & Sound folders for aliasing 3rd party aircraft to. You could use any 3rd party panels & sound packages you wish. However it's not a good idea to delete any default aircraft. If nothing else they're used for the AI traffic.

Make sure you didn't empty the recycle bin  ;)

i search for ages on simviation and could only find aircraft that use default sounds. i then downloaded a sound package for the 737 but FS2004 kept crasing when i selected the plane so in the end i just uninstalled and reinstalled
