fixed Undercarriage horn always on

[Giggex]

After last update, the Mosquito sounds the undercarriage horn since the start of the mission, in any configuration: cold and dark cockpit, start in the air, start at runway. Quite annoying.

Only unofficial Mod installed: Community A-4E and Hercules. Using MT.

Yep same here. The noise is insane after a few mins. The best WW2 bird of DCS currently unflyable. Tried disabling all mods, tried at cold start, hot start, no difference & seemingly no way to rid of it.

No mods at all here, default install. Under carriage horn non-stop.

[Bozon]

Anyone know the name of the sound file with the horn sound? If I find it I’ll replace it with silence.

[Prorok]

Also I can affirm non-stop horn sound in C&D start, hot start, start in air. 

C&D start the horn  sound will work as it must only after take off, when you gear up and throttle to idle position then in needed position

[No.401_Wolverine]

Another confirmation of issue here. You can get it to turn off if you get airborne and then 0 the throttles and back up, but good luck getting airborne and still being sane enough at that stage to remember.

[Ghost79]

Even after a fix for the horn being constantly 'on'.  I'd like to see an option to disable it completely, very annoying sound.

[Prorok]

Any comments from developers?

[Giggex]

I do confirm that a good temporary solution is to take-off, retract the undercarriage and put throttles to idle, then to needed setting. The horn works as intended after this so far. But well, this is not really pleasant, especially if you have to go through the whole start-up procedure with that buzz in the ears. So, yes, let's hope that soon we'll have a thorough solution.

Came here to whinge about this too.

I already have enough tinnitus thanks. I bailed out of my Mossie by the time I got in the air as I was in danger of having a nervous breakdown or something. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for ten minutes isn’t doing it for me really. Get this fixed quick for gods sake. Wish they’d take more care with our Mossies.

and it’s about time we had our wipers done while they’re at it, please.

[Raptorattacker]

For ANY attention you need to attach files to the complaint otherwise NOTHING will get done.

There are problems with the undercarriage of all three of the WW2 modules with the 'enhaced suspension' that have been logged. Let's hope thing gets done about it PLEASE...

[Slippa]

Came back as it just occurred to me that ED might be unaware of it.

@BIGNEWY, @NineLine, please jump in your Mossies, scramble, scramble, scramble your brains with tinnitus for five minutes and I’m sure you’ll be very aware of what we’re going through. I turned it all off last night and my ears are still ringing. - Fair enough, I do have a chronic case of tinnitus but I don’t like my Mossie to have to go through this kind of torment.

Please, have a word with the CO, Station Commander, Flight and Squadron Leaders and bung em a fiver drink. Might wanna hand out some ear defenders for testing purposes but please, don’t make us record clips of it. It’s like I went down in the jungle somewhere and I’m being tortured with white noise and sleep deprivation.

Track provided later if required, I need to get some earmuffs first. Thank you  

[BIGNEWY]

Hi, 

this issue has already been reported and is in our high priority list. 

thanks 

[Slippa]

Marvellous. Thanks for that. 

- while they’re tinkering with the sounds, whisper in their ears about the weird wind noise we get inside the Mossie. If it’s not too much trouble o course. 

Cheers

[BIGNEWY]

No problem, I've stressed to the team this is an annoying one and needs to be addressed ASAP

[Slippa]

Put em in the Mossie and fire her up. I ‘wooden wonder’ they’ll get the picture

Really..... maybe you should use Woody Woodpecker as a nose art on it... I believe you might have one..... 

And the horn is definitely very annoying.....

Until it gets fixed you can turn it off completely with a quick workaround:

Worked for me, but one time I had to restart the game for it to work.

Maybe I unpacked incorrectly? Screenshot of the folders above.

It doesn't work for me either, the file structure is a bit vague on which folder of the download goes where. I hate it when there is a mod fix, but no clear explanation of how to install it. 

The first file in Sounds is called Sounds in my install, it the ATM88 mod

Saved Games/Sounds/Sounds/Ground units

The download is:

Sounds/sdef/aircrafts/Mosquito

What goes where....

figured it out, just put the sdef folder in the main sounds folder.. if at first you don't succeed, screw it up again... till you screw it up the correct way.. 

I'm wondering if the 88 mod actually has sound now...

Here's my file structure:

Here's what I did just now:

Made a new mission in ME, placed a Mosquito as client (start from ground) and ran it: mod didn't work - the horn was present.

Quit to desktop, restarted the game, run the same mission from the main menu: it worked.
