Hi all,

Outside my 737 cockpit I have a FSX service display that shows a small 2D cockpit view by default which I don't use since I have my 3 projectors running on separate scenery only client PC's. If someone likes to watch an external view on the service monitor, FSX sound also changes as defined in the sound.cfg file. I want FSX always to play the 2D cockpit view sound regardless of the selected viewpoint.
My question is: can this be done?

I played a bit with the sound.cfg file. Disabling the external view sounds is easy but that's only half way.

Regards,

Why not just split (duplicate) the speaker output leads from the cockpit computer to the remote area where the outside view is.  Then kill the outside view sound.  Use a cheap amplifier (if necessary) to boost the output.

Email me your sound.cfg, I'll have a look.
(not the .wav sounds!  :) )

Hi Fred,
I had to think about your suggestion. What I did not explain is that the FSX sound I use comes from the main FSX server sound card. This is the PC that produces the base view on my service monitor. I do not use sound from my 3 scenery only WideView FSX clients. Thinking about your answer, and besides that Nat might be able to tweak the sound.cfg, I could  transfer my sound card to e.g. my center view client PC. That view never changes. So that would solve the problem.

Additional: Unfortunately, no WideView clients can be used for sound since there is no status info from the controls (e.g. throttles, landing gear) transferred. WideView only takes care of scenery updates.
