im having a problem with my sound.  i keep getting a krackling sound with my autogen. :-?  its most proment in the props but i can hear it in the jets as well.  when i reduce my autogen it fades but is still there.  also it starts to go away the higher i go then comes right back as soon as i start to lose elevation.   i have a Fata1ity sound card and am running 2 Nvidia 9800GT graphics cards in SLI....any thoughts? any help would be apprieciated 

How much RAM and HD space? Free space that is.

And your processor, how fast is that?>

8 GB RAM and about 600 GB of space left on that drive....im running both windows 7(x64bit) and sim on a 1 TB....also i have a dual core processor..cant recall speed though....i can run sim maxed and get about 24 frames though...

I dunno if this is your issue, BTW I paste there a part of NickN guide, I hope that it can halp you:



[b]SOUND CRACKING AND DISTORTION

where can i find the config to alter the values?

This setting is inside the FSX.CFG file. Make a Backup copy of the file before you modify it, so if you have troubles you can restore the original.

If you do not know where the FSX.cfg file is:

(You must have hidden files and folders visible in Windows)

If you have XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR ACCOUNT NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg

If you have VISTA or 7:

C:\Users\YOUR ACCOUNT NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.CFG

You can open it using notepad. (rightclick and open with)... if you have Win Vista / Win 7 you may need admin rights to modify the file.

If I remember well, in this case of Bufferpool setting you must add the lines (i.e. at the end of the file):

[Bufferpools]
poolsize=xxxxxxxxx

where xxxxxxxxx depends on the quantity of VM you want to use as bufferpool.
