Loud truck engine sound

[thomasfa]

I have just received the update from the last update and the engine sound is now eliminated.
Many thanks

I can confirm, the piston engine sound is gone after re-running the live update.
It downloaded some apparently missing sound files for the BaggageTractor.

Case closed, thanks

Sigh, I have to revoke that.... unfortunately I still get the "piston sound", not while (de)boarding, now it's there when I call for fuel.

gee, this is really a mess, I'm getting a little bit frustrated here.....

[disco79stu]

I tried different setups (and even recorded it) and it's strange.

I muted all GSX sounds in the settings.

Fresh situation, FSL A320X, cold& dark. When I call for fuel, the piston sound starts immediately (external view).

Reset GSX position.

Call for deboarding, everything is quet.

Reset GSX position.

Call for fuel, again the piston sound, but much lower in volume.

....?

I'm out of Ideas here.

I made a video, hope it makes the issue clear (be sure to turn up the volume):



remember: all GSX sounds are set to minimum (muted) in the settings.

OK, I THINK I FIXED IT:

I realized that within the folder "FSDT_FuelTrailer_TZA45FM" (which seemed to be the fuel truck that was sent in my case) a folder "soundai" was missing. All other vehicles seem to have that folder. The folders are located here: ...\Addon Manager\Simobjects\PBR

So I copied this folder from another fuel truck "FSDT_FuelTruck_7296" and it worked. The piston sound is gone.

I think the issue with the BaggageTractor yesterday had the same reason. The live update downloaded exactly this "soundai" folder for it to fix it. Seems when this is missing, the system takes a p3d default sound file instead... but I could be wrong.


Can the FSDT team confirm?

Didnt fix it for me.

[disco79stu]

Yea well.... I thought I fixed it, but no. I still get the cessna sound on multiple occasions, on fuel trucks, pax busses....

I really hope the fix this soon!

Go to the Folder Lockheed Martin Sound

rename ai_singleprop.01.wav to.off
rename xai_singleprop.o1.wav to.off

Hi,

I want to get rid of the very loud truck engine sound when I'm on external view, but I can't find the file that is responsible.
I already renamed (muted) all engine and idle sounds, plus the annoying beeping of the forklifts, but there is still a diesel-like truck idle sound left.

Unfortunately, since you can't set the volume for different types of sound individually, I have to get rid of the files completely.

Can anyone tell me where the file might be?

That works perfectly fine thanks

The latest update, as you noticed, disabled the default sound for the baggage cart loaders, since some users might find it annoying, being an object that is created on the parking, and it might overlap with others.

We intentionally left it active in the Fuel Tanker, because it's a vehicle that comes from far away, so it would be wrong having a silent vehicle going in/out.

Is there a chance to lower the volume of the sounds for something around 50% of the current?
I appreciate the immersion but the sound is indeed a little loud and doesn't respond to the control panel volume options.
And btw congratulations on this massive free update. Thank you for all your work.

It's a default sound from the sim, I'm not comfortable with changing default sounds, or any other file of the sim, if not strictly necessary ( like when disabling the default jetway model )
