There is a lot of different things that can be done in these prs files, but one limitation is that the cockpit and external sounds are controlled off of the same prs.
If they were under different prs files, then you could have a more solid sounding cockpit with out the fade outs needed for the external sounds.
The [spl] setting controls how far away the sound is heard, but in the cockpit you don't really need this and by having it you might notice that it effects other sounds like the guns or the wind shutters. If there is no spl setting in the prs, then the cockpit sounds won't disrupt the volume of these other sounds. So it seems to mix a bit better, but then your external sounds are only heard from very close to the plane with out an [spl] command.
I'm trying to figure out a way around this, because some sounds, particularly on the external side should only be heard while close to the plane, while others should only be heard from a distance.
With one prs controlling internal, external and distance, it gets hard to focus commands to do each of these things with out disturbing the settings of other sounds in the prs.
Modding the buttons for more prs is ideal, but this presents a compatibility issue unless it is worked into the entire UI installer for every plane.
