[BMS Tool] Afterburner Detent Sounds
-
Update:
- in 3D i can hear the sound “Click” when from ufterburner going military and below, but not when going from military to afterburner.
-
@gundam the AB>Mil click is much louder than the Mil>AB click by default, are you sure you’re not hearing the latter at all?
As long as you see both “burner-on.ogg” and “burner-off.ogg” files in the BMS-Burner folder, the program should have no issue playing both.
Also check your “bms-burner-log.txt” file, it should have logged both Mil>AB and AB>Mil changes. -
@rusher0600 Hi Rush. Yes i have both file and log say it plays …
Ok i will listen better ! Thanks Rush.
Ciao

BMS 4.36 now has built-in AB detent sounds if you set
g_bAfterburnerDetentClick 1
I don’t plan on supporting this tool any further, though bug fixes are welcome.

@mrkline
I understand your position, but I’m sad to see your utility go to the wayside. I used it for all my flights in 4.35. Thank you for developing it.I loaded 4.36 this past weekend and added set g_bAfterburnerDetentClick 1 in Falcon BMS User.cfg. Admittedly my hearing is not so great across the full spectrum now, but I did not hear any click whatsoever. I tried to revert to your mod, but I see it’s coded for 4.35.
Am I missing something? Does set g_bAfterburnerDetentClick 1 actually work for you?

@greatcouloir I have the exact same problem. I can’t hear any sound either at idle detent or at AB detent. Maybe it is my hearing… Is there a way to increase the volume of the AB detent sound?
Edit: Definitely my hearing! After lowering all other sounds in cockpit (RWR Off, Low speed for wind sound) and max my windows volume above 80%, the click is there! Same click on Idle Detent and on AB Detent. But if there is a way to make it sound louder I would appreciate it. -
@greatcouloir After some searching and testing I found the sound files responsible for Idle detent and AB detent and how to increase their volume. For Idle detent it is 1 file “PushButton.ogg” and for AB Detent sound there are 2 files , one for AB on “PushButton_In.ogg” and one for AB off “PushButton_Out.ogg”. In order to increase the volume edit the file “F4SndTbl.textproto” with a text editor. I increased the max_vol value from -208 to 10000 (I don’t think increasing it further makes any difference). Look at the pic below. Enjoy.
Just in case MAKE A BACKUP FIRST of the F4SndTbl.textproto file. -

@danaos75 can use it to make external nozzel open and close sound?

The index is used with the CallBack,
I’m not sure if it’s possible to create your own
sfx_defs
block with a new sound/index and use that in the key file. It’s strange that the devs went to the trouble of creating a new CallBack and config setting but didn’t create a new sound - maybe this is what we are stuck with (425 sounds), the proto sound file doesn’t seem to suggest so -
@CriticalMass if it work i will share it

Also, try the GearUp/GearDown sounds (index: 119/118) - they have that two step sound like I assumed the Idle/AB detent would have
-
@CriticalMass what about it.
-
@sheref Sorry I really don’t know. I just wanted to hear the AB kicking in and out, cause my Throttle doesn’t have an AB detent.
-
@danaos75 falcon bms.confg
Set the detent to 1
It is about the throttle… about the external i will make it worke -

sorry, wasn’t clear. The current sound is a feeble pushbutton (index: 314), the Gear sounds sound much chunkier and louder. I’ve changed the number in my key file to point to the IdleDetents to index:118 and the ABDetents to index:119 (I’ll test it later)
-
@CriticalMass i will back home now to do it … as i say if it work correctly will share it
-
@sheref yes I know I had done that but the default sound is too low for my left ear . So I increased the volume of it with the method I mention above. Of course that made all pushbuttons to sound louder, but I don’t mind it.
@CriticalMass I see what you did now ,instead of trying to increase the volume of the default sound you chose a different sound file that had a louder sound. Excellent! I am happy with the louder click for now, but I will test your solution, maybe I will find a better sound file for AB detent (Gear sound as you suggest), as long as I don’t confuse it with the actual gear down / up process
-
Well, I’ve made a number of attempts to change the AB Detent sound and volume…unsuccessfully. I believe it is hardcoded into the application - happy to be wrong
-
@CriticalMass I think it did not work because there is no callback for AB detent when you increase or decrease the throttle. The callbacks that you mention above I believe are for when Setting the AB detent, not for when the throttle reaches that position. My solution still works, you can increase the volume of the default pushbutton sound.
