New User - Addon Airport Crashes & Loud External View Sound

[draky]

Hi - sorry if these are rather silly questions but I just purchased the FSP yesterday, have searched forum but can't find answers to initial
questions.....

1) We all use addon airports and without critisizm of the authors some of these sceneries require the crash detect to be turned
off otherwise you are crashing into unseen objects. A appreciate the realism of FSP but is there a way to disable the crash detection?. It
appears that even if you have crash detection disabled the program FSP will still crash into unseen objects.
Unfortunately my home airport is one such scenery that will disintegrate the aircraft for no apparent reason when taxiing.

2) Another problem is when I switch to exterior views I get a really high volume buzzing noise that is a strain on the ear drums, I use Active Sky
real weather and usually just get the environment wind noise when in exterior views. I have tries reducing the sound settings in FSP
setup menu but can't get rid of this interference, any ideas?.

3) Is there any way that the seatbelt switch on the actual aircaft panel can be recognised by FSP?.



Thanks - Dave UK

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\FsPassengers\config (or whever your FS2004 is installed) and open
the file 'more_option' config. Near the bottom, you should see these two lines:

DisableForceCrashDetection =0; // disable the "force crash detection" feature of FsP
DisableForceCollideDetection =0; // disable the "force collide detection" feature of FsP

Change the 0 in each of these two lines to 1, click 'file', then 'save', then close the editor. That might sort out your first problem!

As for the sound problem, I'm not sure to be honest! Does it happen with any aircraft or just one / some?

And for the seatbelt sign issue, the easiest way would be to add the FSP seatbelt sign to your panel and use that instead of or along with
the existing seatbelt sign button as described here:

You might be able to edit the panel.cfg file to use the existing button for FSP but I'm not sure.
