Accu-Sim B-17 Sounds Disappear

Post by yol116 »

Hi guys

Truly an amazing product the Accu-Sim B-17!
However, I am having some issues with this aircraft. Certain sounds disappear after being in the aircraft after a certain amount of time. The Hydraulic Sounds disappear ( Hyd. Pump, Flaps, Gear ) and flight crew disappears. All those audios disappear then will come back but most of the time, it those particular sounds stays muted. All my sound settings are correct, all drivers up to date. I did buy this product from JustFlight on October 5th 2015 so I am unsure if the aircraft is up to date..
Any ideas?
Thanks

ps brand new to these forums so I apologize if I posted this question in the wrong spot

You should run the update located in this thread: Accu-Sim Update 10_03_15 DOWNLOAD
http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/vie ... hp?t=41279

A2A Accu -Sim products are updated periodically, so you should keep an eye out for new updates. All accu-sim aircraft are updated through this one process, so don't be alarmed if you see a lot of aircraft you don't own...yet. When you run the program, it will search for and find all your accu-sim aircraft and then apply only the appropriate updates.

If you are still missing sounds after you run the update, post back here in a new thread. Either way, the update is necessary!

Hi there!

I installed the update, the plane is better now in terms of functionality ( noticed taxiing is a lot better ).
I am still having issues with the sounds disappearing.

I wonder if it has something to do with my recent addition of the Steves DirectX 10 Fixer?
However,
If I pause then un-pause the game. The sounds will come back but still, after some time, the Hydraulics and Crew audios disappear again.
Any ideas on whats happening?

Thanks!

Are you loading a default FSX flight before you load the B-17, or do you just load the B-17 from the start screen. Try loading in the default FSX flight if you aren't doing so now, then load in the B-17. The fact that the sounds return after you pause indicates a problem with your sound system and not the A2A aircraft.

I'd check the sound settings on your computer it sounds like you have some sort of auto levelling enabled, maybe also mic related as some sound settings on some hardware allow the muting of sounds when sound is detected with any mic plugged into the system.

thanks,

Hey there!

Thank you all so much for all the great suggestions!
Here is what I did.
Reinstalled the Steves DX10 Fixer ( probably was not the issue but did for good measure ) than got some different audio drivers my sound card ( This was probably the issue ).
All the audios stay stable and do not drop out anymore!

I hope you all have a rockin Christmas and New Years!
See you next time!

Christopher

P.S - That Boeing B377 Stratocruiser with the Captains Package is lookin mighty good! :D

Good news, Christopher.

And, yeah, the 377 COTS is really well worth a look. The challenges are very different from those presented by the B-17!
