Waldo_II Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) If you are like me, you have probably heard the same old menu/editor music ten million times (give or take), so this here is going to teach you how to replace the old music with your own. Required Software DCS: Black Shark (duh) Audacity First Step: Slecting the part of the song you wish to hear 1. Start up Audacity and go to File > Open and select the song that you wish to be the new menu/editor music, and open it up. 2. Use the cursur and select the parts of the song you do not want to hear, leaving only the good part. You must leave only about 2:00 - 2:30 worth of music. If the song is too long or too large, DCS won't play it. The song will just loop after you reach the end. Second Step: Saving it as an .ogg file 1. Simple enough, go to File > Export as Ogg Vorbis, and save it as songnameshort.ogg or whatever. 2. Close Audacity when it has finished exporting Third Step: Copy that song to the respective DCS: Black Shark folder. 1. Find your song with Windows Explorer and copy it with right-click > Copy. 2. Go to C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Sounds\EditorMusic 3. Create a new folder, C\Program Files\....\EditorMusic\Backup 4. Move Babylon.ogg in the \Backup\ folder. Babylon.ogg is the original menu song, this will be our backup. 5. Paste your new song, songnameshort.ogg, into C:\Program Files\...\EditorMusic\ 6. Rename your new song Babylon.ogg, just like the song that was there before. When DCS starts up and looks for the menu music, it will find your new song disguised as the old song, and it will play the new song. A word of advice Don't choose a song that starts out with a bang, like Freedom. You will hear the first few seconds of the song another ten million times, so choose something that won't both you. Songs that I have used in the past "Hell's Bells" - AC DC TLD:DR Get a two minute long clip of audio, save it as .ogg, and replace Eagle Dynamics/Ka-50/Sounds/EditorMusic/Babylon.ogg with it.

PythonOne Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 But this method doesn't correct the slow playback rate correct? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=44832 I mentioned this before that the same song played in DCS black shark seems a bit "slower" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo_II Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 I haven't noticed any slower playback rate, although you could certainly use Audacity to speed up the song to compensate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
