F-16 Cockpit Sound Effect Question

[rwbishUP]

Was wondering if there is an .sdef file for the throttle lever going over the detent in the F-16? I'm wanting to make the detent click a little louder, I use the audible detent click as a reference a lot. Was hoping there was a file for the effect, and that someone might know the the directory path too it, because I can't find it.

Unzip it Sounds.zip to your DCS folder: "C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Saved Games\DCS"

There are 2 text files: Throttle_From_Afterburner and Throttle_To_Afterburner.

To change the volume of the sound, change the last line in them: "gain = 15"

Nice! @btd, thanks a ton for this, boss!

BTW @btd, is there supposed to be a "sounds" folder in my \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder? I've always installed my past sound mods by adding them too my \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\resource folder.

If you use open beta than yes, it's the right place C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

@btd This is great, thank you!

Is there by any chance a way to find other sound files where I can change the gain?

[btd]

Yea, you can check the list of all the sound files using in DCS

/LockOnExe/Doc/Sounds/sdef_and_wave_list.txt

In this folder you can find many useful info too

Ok, I've looked into it. If I understand correctly, it's a description on how to format a custom sound file, and how to name and where to put it. 

But there is no way to extract the original sound files and modify them like this. Did I understand correctly?

No, you can't. But you can create your own sound file with the name of the original one, place it in proper folder C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Sounds\Effects\....... and it will be used in your DCS version

It will be your sound mod. You can check an prepared example there: c:\DCS\DCS_trunk\LockOnExe\Doc\Sounds\SoundModExample\

Ok. Understood. Thank you!
