Paul: In your intruction you indicate that adding the gauge by drag and drop would work just as well; What about the .cfg changes I suppose these would have to be done anyway ?
I just have difficulty keeping up with so many folders open at the same time.

Berlopez


There are a four folders to deal with but that's not uncommon for a gauge like this. This manual install method is very typical. Just take your time  Wink

Yes you will still need to modify your aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files. I strongly recommend you back these up first (always a good rule of thumb)!

Thanks for your Reply Paul. I managed to install the gauge it showed, the colored numbers and the card and the icon, Unfortunately I seem to have ommitted a change when adding it to one of the panel .cfg files/Or forgot to number something...So I didn't get the sound,as described....Like 80 knts,V1,gearup etc...
I realized this when i began to delete my edits and put the plane back to it's original stage. Embarrassed
I believe my mistake was under the vc cockpit edits?  Cheesy

Is everthing working but the sounds?
If so, then check your panel.cfg [VCockpit01] section; it should look like below:


[VCockpit01]
other lines here...
gauge35=Captain_Sim.p727.sound!main, 0,0, 10,10, Captain_Sim\727\sound.ini
gauge36=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound,2,2,2,2,\panel\v-one\v-one_Sound.ini
gauge37=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80

Hope you can get it sorted out soon!  Smiley

Thanks for your reply Paul; I just attempted to reinstall and got the same results...realized I had made a editting mistake and the icon wasn't showing; I fixed that easy enough...Then I tried a flight to test the sounds...
As soon as I the needle hits 80KTS my sim freezes,as I wait a little while to see if it goes to the next step I hear a bell Bung,Bing,Like the error windows makes when something is wrong?
I wil attemp at a later time to c/p the lines you have included in yoour post above to the [VCockpit01] And see if that helps. BTW I have also Mattews alt. call outs which sound on descending...But that shouldn't have anything to do with this?

BTW: How does your machine behave with FSX?; Personally I'm below specs.with a Intel Core 2 Cpu 1.8-1.79 @ 4300 1022 Mb.RAM Nvidia GeForce 7500 LE; Tuned with AlacrityPC I can get FSX to give some descent performance, 18.9 FPS Locked at 20 FPS. via FSX.cfg file.

just attempted again adding 48,49,50...Still ding-Dong; and the lenght of one of the gauges exceeds the line and makes a new line; If this has anything to do with it. At the spot of when the gauges are supposed to sound, V1, Gear-up,Flaps in, Slat in.All I hear is the ding dong. Undecided

Paul I'm sure is me or my system that is causing all this trouble. I don't want you to think I'm grateful for your improvement on the 727,or others.

I suspect your problem is your other sound gauge conflicting with the V-One gauge:

gauge36=CALLOUT_SOUND!dsd_xml_sound3, 0,0,0,0, Sound\CALLOUT\Sound.ini

does not work with

gaugexx=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound,2,2,2,2,\panel\v-one\v-one_Sound.ini

Matthew's sound gauge is using an older version written by Doug Dawson.

I believe I still may have a copy of my first sound.ini file which references dsd_xml_sound3.gau that you're already using. I will look for it.

If you want to fly for now without the V-One sounds, comment out or remove:
gaugexx=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound,2,2,2,2,\panel\v-one\v-one_Sound.ini
gaugexx=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80

When the freeze happens, is there a small message box that comes up like the one below?
This error will sound the 'ding-dong' you've described for every sound it can't find (.wav)

No, When the freeze happens I don't get any message just the freeze...The sound keeps going,as if the sim doesn't notice the freeze ( Strage)? Then when the needle hits 80 KTS the ding comes...Waiting a little longer another one comes,like if correspponding to the gear-up sound?...Then I close it via CRTL+Alt+Del then I notice that down on the task bar there a window dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau. when I unstall the gauge,ie delete it from everywhere,put in my unedited .cfgs Try to fly I don't freeze...
I added your lines to the [VCockpit01] At the bottom,renumbered them to my next number in sequence...Didn't help?

ie:
...gauge46=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTMIN,     0,0,0,0
gauge47=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTAPPMIN,  0,0,0,0
gauge48=Captain_Sim.p727.sound!main, 0,0, 10,10, Captain_Sim\727\sound.ini
gauge49=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound,2,2,2,2,\panel\v-one\v-one_Sound.ini
gauge50=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80

gauge50=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80


First problem I see there are duplicate lines entered in your panel.cfg in the [VCockpit01] section:

gauge35=Captain_Sim.p727.sound!main, 0,0, 10,10, Captain_Sim\727\sound.ini

AND

gauge48=Captain_Sim.p727.sound!main, 0,0, 10,10, Captain_Sim\727\sound.ini


Remove gauge48=Captain_Sim.p727.sound!main, 0,0, 10,10, Captain_Sim\727\sound.ini

and re-number the V-One gauge lines:
gauge48=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Sound,2,2,2,2,\panel\v-one\v-one_Sound.ini
gauge49=dsd_fsx_xml_sound!Debugger, 420,550,600,80


Next, I believe you had everything correctly installed except the sound files.

The task bar item 'dsd_fsx_xml_sound.gau' is the error generated when it can't find the sound files and makes the 'ding-dong' sounds you hear. It makes a sound for each file it can not find.
Make certain you have the V-One gauge sound files in one of the following directories:

For Window 7 (64 bit):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Sound\V-One

For Window 7 (32 bit) and Windows XP:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Sound\V-One

Example of Windows 7 (64 bit):

Grin Got them!...After reading your very explicit post,thank you very much Paul  Smiley Smiley And comparring what I had done..I realized I was missing a folder and of course the renumeration of the gauges; As you state. Now they work and in combination with Mathews alt_calls The 727 is a pleasure to fly  Smiley

I'm very happy you finally have it all sorted out. Maybe the problem you were having, and now that it's fixed, can help others that may be having the same issues.  Smiley

Hi! I've installed the v-0ne gauge for my cs 727-100 and I can't get it to work at all. I edited both cfg files like it said to do and I check and rechecked to make sure that I didn't make a misstake in the editing of the files. I can't seem to find the the icon file where would it be? Is there another program that has to be loaded for it to work. I using Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks, Bob out!

First, check if you can open the gauge as shown below.
If you can't, you must double check your installation again.

I believe it will work just fine. The only issue may be the CG / trim. Can always adjust if need be.

Give it a try and let us know how it works out Wink
