Hi ddo2
1. If I want to do a flight from cold and dark, should I just load a default flight, then load the SEA flight, then move it? Will that work?
Try opening the 727-100 Xold-n-Dark (KSEA) with FSX from Documents\Flight Simulator X files. Doing it this way, I found that the sounds are working when I start, I don't need to reload the aircraft. I have FSX AND the flights (FLT files) that come with the Captain Sim aircraft "pinned" to my start menu. But you can only do that with Vista and Win7.
The other method I use is to start FSX. Then in Free Flight I select everything, starting with the CS727, airport, time of day, flight plan, fuel and then select Fly Now. Once FSX is ready, I reload the 727 and my sounds are all there.
2. How can I be certain I'm getting all the sounds?
Just rotate the ALTITUDE ALERT knob. When it is with 800-900 feet of the 727's actual altitude, it will chime. That tells you that the sounds are all working correctly.
3. If I just save a flight where the sounds have disappeared, can I simply save it and then start over?
I think the sound will return if you load the saved flight.
Hope this helps.
