You only need this if you have NOT installed the SAS SFS Soundmod, or if you are NOT using HSFX4 or UP1.8


Put it in your game, so that the prs files in this patch, will go into 

yourgame/files/presets/sounds/.....

But Do NOT let it overwrite any files you may already have there of the same name.



What this patch does:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

it gives you compatibility with SAS buttons. in other words, you will be able to use SAS buttons, without losing aircraft engine sounds.

This will make use of the game's DEFAULT soundfiles, so that it is compatible with everybody. You can customize it easily, but consulting the included soundmatrix for the name of the file for the particular plane, and create a copy of a custom soundfile you already have that works, and name that copy according to the matrix.


Installing new custom Engine sound mods:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We advise installing them in your mods folder, so you can have more control over them. Files in the mods folder will in any case load OVER similar files in the files folder when the game loads. So think of the file folder as a "catch-all" Folder.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you have lost an engine sound, how to fix it yourself, or, how to use a custom prs file instead of one in the pacth:


In this EXAMPLE, we shall patch a prs file for the P51 Mustang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) Open the SAS Soundmatrix Inlcuded in this download

2) In it, you will see that all P51's use the engine sound file called 

motor.Packard-Merlin.prs

3) I am not going to explain what it does or anything about it, because this only seems to confuse the peoples more.

4) Now, follow these steps:

A) Do a search of your MODS folder, and search for a file called 

motor.Packard-Merlin.prs

IF you find one, DELETE IT.
IF you find more than one , DELETE THEM ALL

B) Do a search of your FILES folder, for the SAME FILE, motor.Packard-Merlin.prs

If you find one, DELETE IT, and before you ask, for god sakes, if you find MORE THAN ONE, DELETE THOSE TOO.

C) LOOK at the sound Matrix spreadsheet, and identify a Rolls Royce or Packard Merlin soundfile that is currently WORKING for you.

FOR EXAMPLE: Spitfires MkVII to IX uses a prs file called 

motor.Rolls-Royce-Merlinxx.prs 

Check if your Spitfires MkIX in your game have sound. If tyhey do, move to next step.

D) Do a search of your MODS folder, for a file called

motor.Rolls-Royce-Merlinxx.prs

IF YOU FIND MORE THAN ONE: youre fucked. Pick the one at the top of the list and hope for the best.
IF YOU FIND ONE: Make a copy of it, and paste that copy RIGHT NEXT TO the original one.
(if you DONT find one, move on to below where that is picked up)

E) RENAME the copy you just made to (you guessed it...):

motor.Packard-Merlin.prs

~END


F) IF YOU DID NOT FIND a motor.Rolls-Royce-Merlinxx.prs in your MODS FOLDER, carry on from here:

Do a search of your FILES folder, for the file called 

motor.Rolls-Royce-Merlinxx.prs

And when you find it, Make a copy of it, and paste that copy RIGHT NEXT TO the original one.

G) RENAME the copy you just made to (you guessed it...):

motor.Packard-Merlin.prs

and that is that.

~END

You can fix any missing engine sound problem this way, by yourself, and it is a good way for you to start learning something about this modding thing.
