Windplayer, what I suspected, I run a Win  7 64 bit system and have no XP (I went from Win98 to Win 7 on my home PC due to a fascination with Linux) so no chance of having the dll file, probably find a copy on the net somewhere but I think it probably will not really fix the scripting with the 727.

Wild card call but I think the sound issue is not a sound problem but a gauge issue and for some reason for some gauges the programming call for the wav does not happen until it is reloaded.

Anyway, heres hoping for a Capt Sim fix one day. In the meantime I will leave things as they are, safer that way, at least I know what problem is causing what at the moment.
