Exterior sound for spot view for gliders.

[Roger]

I mentioned this in another forum but got few replies, and with the advent of Rick's Slingsby I decided to probe further. This file www.virtualsoaring.org/aircraft/2K2/aswsnz.zip at Soar gives a partial answer to gliders using vet auto-launching. Unfortunately the glider in use looses the sound when the winch detaches (the detach switches OFF the 'engine') and so a quick Ctrl/E is required. With vet the engine takes a good few seconds to 'fire' and then exterior spot view is with a most exceptable sound.
The patch requires 2 sound files to be dropped into the sound folder in the aircraft. In the case of most gliders this is the default Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane, so for the Slingsby I dropped the 2 sound files there.

If anyone can overcome the switch off at release problem then I'd be pleased to know. (ps I replaced the sound.cfg fs2002 standard entries with the entries from the default fs2004 Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane and left the engine sounds as these give the exterior wind sound.

Hi Rog-
I'm working on a big project at the moment but if nobody else comes up with an answer, I'll look at patching something together on Saturday.

Edit sometime later...
I just spent an hour with it and I have lovely wind in the VC but nothing outside Sorry...

[Roger]

Hi Tom did you download the zip and place the sound files in the Schweizer 2-32 sound folder?

Roger

[Admin]

No, I ttried an experimental approach. No luck.
