Hi,
I'm new on Simviation and I hope someone can help me out with a problem I have.
I have downloaded the DUTCH F-16 Viper Package. Everything works fine except for the sound(s).
I followed the install-instructions and tried a couple of other things, but no succes.
So, does anyone know how to fix this?

If that's the ViperDen.zip package for FS2004 COF, I have that bird and love it! I didn't have any trouble with the sound tho. The Sound folder is complete in my DL zip file....if it's the Viper2du.zip version, that is a self-installer, which I hate. I prefer the control I have of installing it all myself....ANYway, do you have any other F-16 installed? If so, try renaming your problem AC's Sound folder to Sound_back or something like that, then copying another f-16's Sound folder into you problem AC's folder.
IE:start by renaming .../programfiles(x86)/microsoft Games/FS9/aircraft/f-16 no sound/Sound to Sound_back
then copy .../Aircraft/F-16 Works fine/Sound --> .../aircraft/F-16 no sound/
Load it up and see if it works.
Hope that helps a little....

Ok, I think I have your problem figured out. I just installed the Viper2.DU.zip version into a test folder. it aliases the sound to the Lear45. If you do NOT have the LearJet 45 installed or have moved it, there is your problem. If you have another F-16, such as Kirk Olssen's wonderful Viperden.zip, just copy it's Sound folder into your ViperDU folder, overwriting the one that is already there. If you don't have the ViperDen package I strongly suggest you get it...

Just to confirm -- adding sounds to an aircraft is probably the easiest fix/mod of anything in FS - you can even use very old sounds in FSX.
If your aircraft is ever missing sounds or you with to change them -- just copy the sound folder from another aircraft into the aircraft of your choice.

Hi guys,
I tried the suggestions from Phantom Tweaker and copied the sound from Kirk Olssen's F16 to the Viper2du.zip version.
It worked out fine!
So thanks for your help (and sorry for my poor English; I guess you already understood I'm from the Netherlands, being interested in Dutch F 16's
