Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I was having an issue with the PC-6 and decided to do a fresh install of the aircraft. I downloaded the latest installer from the support forum and did an install with the new installer after uninstalling the old version. While the original issue I was having is resolved, a new issue has popped up. When starting the engine I will hear the spooling noise but as soon as the engine comes on it goes silent. I still have all the other noises in the aircraft such as flipping switches, trim warning, etc. but the engine noise is gone both in the interior and exterior views.

I have seen this before. I believe it is some glitch with V5, reloading the aircraft or restarting the sim fixes it. One of the testers said something about alt tabbing out/back into the sim and to make sure the setting to play sounds when the sim isn't in focus may also help.

I just un tick the sound and then re tick it and she is good to go

Thanks for sharing. Maybe that will do it for him.

Unfortunately none of the suggested solutions worked. I think I'll try and go back to an older version. I miss the sweet sweet sound of that PT-6A.

EDIT: Two re-installs later it seems to be working again.

Guess I spoke too soon. Back to no engine noise.

I wouldn't reinstall it anymore, you will just waste activations. There is something else in play here. I'll do some checking on my end.

Since switching the sound settings to "Sync with Simulator" I have had consistent engine noise. I'll continue flying with it set to this and see if this is the solution.

Haha, no worries. I thought you meant the sound option in sim (default key is Q). Seems to be all sorted now.

No problem glad you have it going

I can reset your activations if you run out just drop me an email.

i have same issue with tundra and straight version, the problem because no folder sound in tundra and straight version, just copy from ski or amphibian version and problem has solved
