Aerosoft Sound Control For Twin Otter

[Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558]

We just uploaded Aerosoft Sound Control (ASC) for the Aerosoft Twin Otter X to the FAQs\updates section of the site.

When you want this free update just log on to the FAQs\Support section and select DHC-6 Twin Otter X as the product you want to see updates for. Please note that if you bought the aircraft at another shop you will need to register yourself and the product first. If you bought it at our shop you need to have the product registered before you see any updates.

ASC (we were planning to call it Aerosoft Sound System for a short while, until sombody used his brains) is a special module that enhances the sounds of FSX. It looks for 'events' in fsx and plays a sound when the event is detected. For example hitting a light switch is normally a silent event in FSX but with ASC you will hear a nice little click. When the wind shield wiper are in operation you will hear those as well. In fact nearly any animation could have a special sound. It will greatly enhance the realism and feedback of the aircraft, sound is one of the most important aspects of any simulation. Below the readme of this small addition.

AEROSOFT SOUND CONTROLS FOR THE AEROSOFT DHC-6 Twin Otter

COPYRIGHTS

All the files in this package are copyrighted by Aerosoft and will only work with the Aerosoft DHC-6 Twin Otter and not with any other file. Sounds and configuration files are made by Mathijs Kok and Finn Jacobsen.

INSTALLING

Unpack this file to the main FSX directory (the directory where FSX.exe resides). You will be asked if existing files can be overwritten. If you are asked that, do confirm, if you are NOT asked that you probably are not unpacking to the correct directory. You will find this short document in the FSXMainFolder\Aerosoft\DHC2 Beaver folder. Please note that the update for the models that come with the Mission pack are also installed. if you do not have this installed, just ignore these folders. they will do nothing in FSX.

FIRST LOADING OF THE AIRCRAFT

After installing the Sound Controls update you might be asked if you want to load the module when you load the aircraft, this only happens the first time when you accept it and click [yes] on the next question about making it ‘Trusted’ software.

USE

There is nothing you need to do different. Just listen to the new sounds that are now attached to almost any switch and for example to the wind shield wipers. You will appreciate the added realism and the audio feedback of operating the aircraft.

There should be no noticeable effects on the framerate in any way and the memory load of the aircraft will only increase with a few hundred Kb.
