I have d'loaded 2 beaut A380's from this site however I have no sound on either. The sound config files refer to aliases which normally work OK. Have tried copying sound files from other big jets but still have no sound. I'm a long time flt simmer and have never had this problem before. Tried hitting the Q button several times, tried adjusting my sound card also..... no results. All other a/c are fine.

you say the sounds are aliased.  what are they aliased to?? 


1) Open the aircraft.cfg file.  Look for [General Engine Data] "engine type= "  1,2,3,4,5.... what number is it??

2) depending on the "engine type= " look through your SIM OBJECTS / AIRPLANES folder at the Airbus A319, and look at its ENGINE TYPE=  if it is the same number, COPY THE SOUND FOLDER (not just the sounds inside) but the whole folder.

3) go to your A380 Aircraft folder, DELETE the sound folder, and PASTE the A319 sound folder to your A380.   (yes i know they are the wrong sounds, but if the "Engine type = " numbers are the same, then you will at least have sounds till you do a google search for FSX A380 SOUNDS )


**4) if the ENGINE TYPE = numbers are different, then you need to find an aircraft that has the same ENGINE TYPE to steal the sound file from.    -- the ENGINE TYPE MUST MATCH OR THE SOUNDS WILL NOT WORK.

I see no point in guesswork. A site search of the FSX section for "A380" brings up 5 pages of files.

As always, file names with a link to the page(s) the files are posted on would save us all a lot of time & frustration. Then someone can download them to check them out for you.

I got the same issues with the Real VC Emirates A380, i've aliased the sounds to the default 747 properly.
I also tried checking the general engine type (which was the same) so i got no idea what's wrong with it.

Any chance of a link?

I've just downloaded the Emirates A380 from here --> http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=pa380-virtual-cockpit.zip&x=14&y=16
If you open the Sound folder it has no Sound.cfg. This is the obvious cause of the problem.

That won't work. The FSX default b747_400 sound is itself aliased to the b737_800. If you alias* the A380 sound to the 737 it should fix it.

*The easiest way to do this is to paste a copy of the B747_400 sound.cfg into the Sound folder of the A380.

Really? hmm it's always worked before  :-?

I will in the mean time, until i find a decent sound pack for the A380, i don't like the default sounds in the game

I used this to replace the default b747-400 sound and put it in the A380 sound folder. Works fine. Its in the FlightSim library. 747altsnd
