Get sound in the A2A B-17 2D cockpit

I have a physical B-17 cockpit, and I use a 2D gauge panel in a window over top of the Virtual cockpit. This really increases the workload and tanks frame rates. I have placed a gauge panel in the blank 2D cockpit and it really works well with extremely high frame rates, but I loose most of the sounds.

After searching I found a post that allows you to enable sounds in the 2D cockpit by:

"To enable the interior sounds for the "2D Cockpit" view go to the PANEL folder and edit PANEL.CFG file: (Make a safe copy before editing!)

Find this line:

//gauge01=A2A_C172!cockpitBuilder, 2,2,2,2 //For cockpit builders only.

and uncomment it:

gauge01=A2A_C172!cockpitBuilder, 2,2,2,2 //For cockpit builders only.

Then save the file. You will now have VC sounds within the blank 2D cockpit."



This method only works with the newer A2A aircraft. Is there any way I can achieve this in the B-17?

Thanks,
Bill
