Lots of work getting done on this and your standard DC-3 in regard to engine start and effects both smoke and sound , a build into the best Dak series out there .

Work between Gman and Tufun on Manfred Jahn's Douglas .

with Ted Wolfgang's soundset do I have to alter the aircraft.cfg or not ?,..or do I leave the aircraft.cfg alone as it is installed to get the slow and realistic engine start ?

[Ian Warren]

Adrian i have not installed the Super yet , but Ted sound set is appropriate to the standard DC-3 , never heard a Real McCoy Super , as far as the cfg. is concerned i'm guessing it just operates as per a heavy DC-3 .

Adrian, yes, you have to change the aircraft.cfg, so that the line sounds rerads 'sound=TW'.
Alternatively, you can rename TuFun's soundset to just 'sound'. Make a backup of the original sound folder first though..

Adrian, I put the Sound.TW folder into my C:\FS10\SimObjects\Airplanes, and edited Douglas_C-47_V2\sound.cfg to look like this:

[fltsim]
//alias=Douglas_DC3\sound
alias=Sound.TW

My Ctrl+E switch (mapped in FSUIPC to the rightmost one on my CH Throttle Quad) didn't produce a start, but after being reduced to reading the destructions, and the tool tips:
Brake on, cowl flaps open.
Fuel pump ON, Throttle 10%, Props 100%, Mixture Auto Rich, Mags OFF, DON'T prime;
Switch to the RH engine view, call the Control panel, hold my Ctrl+E switch down, count nine blades and click, or roll the mouse wheel, in the control panel to change the mags from off to both....and then it fires up and keeps running and sounds luvverly.
It also works if you just give the starter nine blades, then set the mags to both, then press the starter again.

This was at Mt Cook.

In this case, the Control Panel is your friend, not Google.
Cheers.
