I am wondering if anyone else has issues with prop sounds in FSX. When switching to spot view, the prop noise always goes to full power, even if the plane is at idle sitting on the ground. The only solution is to run the throttle up to full, then back down to get the sound to stop. I am finally spending more time with FSX, but this problem is just annoying.

Yeah I get this every so often. Theres no fix except cycle views and play with the throttle until it goes away.

I am finally getting the hang of FSX and beginning to use it more and more, and this so far seems to be my only problem, other than I hate the way they model the sounds on the 737 and A321. If anyone has suggestions for replacement sound files, please let me know.

done that too.

the ONLY thing that seems to work to get the sound to reduce, is to cycle the views as I had originally said/agreed to, and to go full throttle then cut it to idle.

Press

START

. Select

RUN

. Type

DXDIAGS

and execute. Select tag

SOUND

(or was it
AUDIO
... one of the two anyway). Lower the DirectX Audio acceleration slider to normal (only one notch above full left). Exit. Done.

This is the ONLY final solution I've found, for both FSX and Train Sim, to not have the audio going berserk. Tongue

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
