I have recently download the sonic boom package, and cannot get FS02' to load the software getting unable to load Gauges\XMLSoundv2.GAU... tried changing the configure file and other tips and tricks but still no KABOOM do I need a certain utility?

To respond to my query, you need to have a fssound.dll file added to modules to remove the error.  And yes I must agree it is just a gimmick,  there is no KABOOM just a low freq thump when the plane loads and then after u break the sound barrier there is a slight noticable change in the sound of the aircraft but nothing to awful impressive.  And from external views it is really quite obnoxious white noise.   The best use is from a tower fly by where there is a thunderish noise and then the sound of the aircraft fades out slighly giving the impression of an accualt Mach+ fly by

I just hope they don't make you pay for virtual broken windows. 

It is working, or so it seems.  for those people who have downloadied this package and are having the same or simaler problems.  you need to locate a FSsound.dll file for your modules folder.  I retrieved one from a DHC-6 from this site buy Premier aircraft design.  the panel included this particular module file that is needed for the sonic boom package.   To use this package properley after you get a FSsound.dll file copy and paste it to the Modules folder in your FS02' directory,  Then in your FS02' configure file you must add the line  [oldmodules] FSsound.dll=1 This will load the package with the  the plane you added it to.  You will know it is working buy again the low freq thud when the aircraft first loads.   I have loaded it with a few different aircraft and received similar results.  AFter reaching Mach+ you will here the distinctive thud again and well sorry for those like myself who expected the earth shattering KABOOM. ...... That is about as good as it gets.    I still enjoy this efffect though so don't get me wrong as I said before if you use the tower view and time it just right it does become  quite realistic but from inside the cockpit it is not real noticable unless you increase the spleaker volume to unbearable levels.

Thanx for the tips.    I myself have never reached the sound barrier.  Though by pure logic and knowledge I will not argue the fact that there is no  boom in the plane its self.   I just have to agree.   Just by the example of the commercial for the concord.   It wouldn't be good customer service if ever time the plane reached Mach+ your ear drums were rattled, chest thumped, and the glass of beer you so craved after taxi and climb to cruise shattered in front of you. (Of course I have yet to see a commercial airline that serves beverages in glass).   This would also explain why the effect is better enjoyed ffrom the tower view.  It is still a neet toy to mess with.  But sadly it is more like the christmas toy you begged and dreamed for as a child when you first found it four months earlier in the catalog,  and wished for it everyday until Christmas morning only to learn the picture looked so much better than the real thing.

Hi All,

Does it work with CFS2 ?

How ?

Cheers
