You say it has a sound file.
You probably mean it has a folder named "sound". If this folder is inside the aircraft folder it should stay there. If it is outside the aircraft folder you should copy all the files it contains into your FS2002\sound folder.
Secondly: if the sound folder is inside the aircraft folder, take a look at what is in it. Are there a lot of files in it, or just a sound.cfg?
In the first case, it should work.
If the latter is the case then open the sound.cfg in Wordpad. It wil read something like this:
[fltsim]
alias=B737_400\sound
what is behind the "=" is what matters. It should point to an existing "sound" folder containing a complete soundset in it. In other words: the folder (in this example) B737_400 must be in your aircraft folder and it must contain a found folder with a lot of files in it (not just a sound.cfg).
If this is not the case you won't hear any sound or perhaps some default prop sounds. You should then change the line so it points to a correct sound folder and save the sound.cfg Make a backup of it before you do this.
My guess is your plane is aliased to a sound folder that does not exist.
Please let me know if this makes any sense to you.
