    How can I increase the volume inside the sound.cfg ?

    Hi,

    does anybody know how and where I can increase the sound volume inside a sound.cfg?

    I am just changing the Virtavia CH-53 sound and it looks/sounds good so far, but I would like to make the main rotor sound much louder - like the bombastic CH-53 sound in real.

    I did try to change the volume like follows:

    [COMBUSTION.1.03]
    filename=xch03
    flags=0
    viewpoint=2
    rparams=0.300000,0.600000,0.800000,1.000000
    vparams=0.000000,0.000000,0.180000,0.800000,0.4170 00,40.600000,
    0.537000,125.000000,0.711000,250.000000,0.799000,1 2.000000,
    0.993000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000
    ConePitch=40.000004
    ConeHeading=179.999985
    InsideConeAngle=90
    OutsideConeAngle=240
    OutsideConeVolume=15000 // was 9200
    Full_Scale_Distance=15
    link=COMBUSTION.1.04

    [COMBUSTION.1.04]
    filename=xch03
    flags=0
    viewpoint=2
    rparams=0.400000,0.650000,0.800000,1.000000
    vparams=0.000000,0.000000,0.606000,0.000000,0.7500 00,11.200000,
    0.843000,85.600000,1.000000,145.000000,1.000000,80 .800000,
    1.000000,80.800000,1.000000,80.800000
    ConePitch=40.000004
    ConeHeading=179.999985
    InsideConeAngle=90
    OutsideConeAngle=240
    OutsideConeVolume=15000 // was 9200
    Full_Scale_Distance=15

    ...but there was no noticable change in the sim. Can anybody help?
    Best regards, Manfred.

    Prepar3D has some explanations to the sound.cfg params.

    http://www.prepar3d.com/SDK/SimObject%20Creation%20Kit/SimObject%20Container%20SDK/Sound%20Configuration%20Files.htm#Engine%20Sounds


    I'd try to change maximum_volume, outsideconevolume or maybe full_scale_distance.

    Cheers

    Thank you, Dan.
    I did fiddle around with some parametres, but finally I will increase the wav volume via my PC sound studio. Did so with the Huey UH-1D and man, first time I thought the real Heli is landing on our roof
    Best regards, Manfred.
