Editing the PRS files to make sounds quit - Steel - 08.04.2009

Yesterday I dl Jaffas great 2 Soundpacks. I really love his sounds but their are very very loud from in the cockpit view.

What did I have to edit in the prs files to make them quiter in the internal view

Sound volume is control by two ways: The 'SPL' tag in the preset file and the actually intensity of the sample.

If you find the preset file for the specified aircraft (located in files/presets/sounds and will be called motor-xxx where xxx is the engine type), you can reduce the SPL. This mainly effects the external sound, so it will decrease the intensity level (therefore lower volume and it wil only hear it at close distance)

If this does not work, then you need to manually edit the samples and reduce the volume for each one. I recommend a free editor called 'Audicity'. Simple to use and free!

ok thanks
is their a specif info in the prs file for the internal sound ???


edit :

i have open the prs file and found the spl tag
but its sadly not for every single sound, just one for them all

I'll do a quick example for you. Here is the preset file for the Jumo211 (used by Stuka) from the SFX 0.91 sound mod.

[spl] controls the volume as described previously, to change internal volume you need to alter each individual sound. Presets only control overal intensity, so if the issue is with one sound, use your sound editor of choice. Now to add the dive sound, open up the preset file you want to add the sound to. Under [SAMPLES] add the lines:
1.wav
x2.wav

Then as per the above example, add in the lines starting with [sample.1wav] etc. If done correctly, you will now have divesounds for that aircraft.
