cd's and radio on fs9

Postby jimm57 » Sun Sep 24, 2006 3:52 pm

Hey, just a quick question

is it possible to play music from a cd or listen to the radio on the computer and, if it is possible, be able to control the station or song from the computer.

thx           jimm57.

Sure is Jim - You can use Windows Media Player running in the background, although this can affect your FPS. You can also get a CD player gauge that will allow you to control CD's from within FS whilst your flying (I also find this is easier on FPS than Windows Media Player). Have a look HERE for the CD player gauge on it's own, or HERE for a plane that already has the CD player installed - incidentally, the Twin Bonanza that I have linked is also one of the best freeware planes available. IMHO.

Personally I run all of my music from a seperate laptop running through my stereo which is next to my PC - this way I can easily get to any track I like without ever affecting my FPS.

Cheers,

TSC.

Well tell him that he owes me 5 minutes of my life back for hunting around for links for him - & if I don't get those minutes back by Friday, then i'll send the heavy mob 'round (Hagar & Fozz) ;)

I still think you should download the Bonanza BTW ;D
