FS2002 Boeing 757/767 Soundpack V 1.0!!
======================================
Now for the first time available for FS2002!!
ALOHA!
Welcome to my first sound project for FS2002!!
This is an EXCELLENT Boeing 757/767 sound package for FS2002. It was created as a collaborative effort between Aaron R. Swindle and myself. These sounds were recorded from an actual Boeing 757 in flight, and I'm certain that this is the most accurate, realistic 757 sound package yet available for FS2002!!
WHAT MADE THIS SOUND PACKAGE A REALITY?
The idea for this sound package began when I started working on my 8th aircraft project, AWA757FP.zip, an America West 757 with an experimental sound package. Now, I'll admit, when I made that sound package my knowledge of creating sound was somewhat limited. But I did the best I could. Still, I felt that I could do better.
So, I set out to make this very soundpack here, but again I ran into a roadblock. Anyone else who's ever tried to make a sound pack for FS2002 will agree with me that as soon as you get down to adjusting vparams and rparams, things get ugly. That's when I contacted Aaron R. Swindle, sent him my source sound files, and he set to work adjusting the sound.cfg file, also adding a few sounds of his own.
When he shipped the revised package back to me, I was nearly blown away by how smoother (is that a word?) the sounds were. However, I did do a bit of tweaking here and there, and restored that loud groan that any 757 fan is familiar with! I also adjusted the idle sounds a bit, and removed the low-pitch groan at idle, which shoulnd't even be heard until about 50% N1, as in real life.
What I did:
Source sounds. 1st, 2nd, and 4th exterior engine sounds. 1st, 3rd, and 4th interior sounds. Landing sounds, external reverse thrust. All warning sounds. Gear and flap sounds.
What Aaron did:
Sound.cfg file, mixing and editing. 3rd exterior sound, 2nd interior sound. Internal reverse thrust, wind sound, ground roll sounds, transitional effects.
OK, now that you know what you have, how about some installation instructions!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
It's easy, just follow these instructions:
Extract this entire ZIP into the SOUND folder of the aircraft of your choice, for example:
That's all there is to it, load up your aircraft in FS2002 and go flying!!
IMPORTANT!! KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS SOUNDPACK:
You may have a few questions about this soundpack, I will address the most common ones here:
1. Why do I sometimes hear a hissing noise with this soundpack?
A: The reason is that there is a bug in the FS2002 sound engine that deforms sound sometimes. If you are flying and suddenly you get a hissing noise, or the sound changes into something weird, hit the "Q" key to turn sound off, then hit it again. It should put your sound back to normal. If it doesnt, reselect the aircraft. Sorry, I can't fix this problem.
2. Sometimes your package sounds like it's being played through a carboard tube, why do I get this echo effect?
A: Same reason as above, FS2002 sound engine. Hopefully those boys at Microsoft will fix this in FS2004.
3. This sound pack is very large in size, how do I use this sound with my other 757s without eating my hard drive space?
A: Simple, you use aliasing. The way I do this is:
Create a folder in your main FS2002/aircraft directory called "757Sound". Extract this sound package into that folder. Now go into the sound folder of the aircraft you want to use this soundpack with. There should be a file there that says "sound.cfg". Open it with a text editor. You should see something like this:
[fltsim]
alias=B737_400/sound
Change it to this:
[fltsim]
alias=757Sound
Save the file. Now copy this sound.cfg into all the sound folders of the aircraft you want to use this soundpack with. Now load up FS2002, select your aicraft, and you should hear this soundpack.
Hope this works for you!!
