I too am having sound issues. I bought SF (ValuSofts) about two years ago played it and boxed it back up for lack of immersion and now from reading about it on this forum, I decided to load and patch it up, due to all of the new features and new life this sim has received. I have played it online with others a couple times and its quite enjoyable. I just wish I could figure out why I have no exterior plane sounds?? Also still cant get an exterior camera view of plane. Only flyby and such. Would also like to be able to look around in the cockpit with the mouse instead of the joy hat.
Most important of these three issues to me is the sound. I have tried all the menu settings --16, 24, 32 etc...
Maybe someone has a FAQ, or link to one that might give us some pointers on the problem.
My appreciation to this community for all the modding and hard work, time and help given.
Thanks,
ALF
