 been trying to copy and paste sound files to various aircraft. They transfer fine but without sound showing up when I launch the aircraft that received the transfered acft sound files. Would greatly appreciate help on this one.

The easist way to do this is to take a copy of the Sound folder of the aircraft you wish to use the sound from. Then open the main folder of whichever aircraft you wish to use it & paste the folder into it. Overwrite files/folders when prompted. You can take a backup copy of the original Sound folder first if you wish.

Alternatively you could alias the Sound.cfg to whichever aircraft you wish providing it's installed to the same directory & has its own sound files. This is useful if you wish to conserve drive space. My Aliasing article explains it. http://www.simviation.com/lair/aliasing1.htm

I guess I didn't explain myself enough my friend. I always do exactly as you say. However. The sound file I,m trying to transfer won't work with the aircraft file that I,m trying to transfer the sound to. Please know that your help is greatly appreciated. I'll keep studying my situation and hopefully come up with an answer soon. Thanks again.

Are you trying to use an individual .wav file  ?  Like tring to take just the flap sound from one plane to use in another ?

If that's the case, there's sound.cfg file editing to be done..

Hi Dad39,

After you transfer the sound to a plane, you have to reboot the plane to have sound. Just choose and boot up a nearby plane in the thumbnails, then choose and boot up the plane with the new sound file and you will have the sound. I have done many transferrs this way and it works every time as long as the transferred file is from a viable source.

Try it, you'll like it !       DB
