View Full Version : What could cause a flap motor sound to loop perpetually?

I'm having a great time flying a certain payware twin engine British carrier jet bomber that came in two major marks using different engines (can you guess which?! :monkey:). I love it, I think it is fantastic and I recommend it. However every time I deploy the flaps the sound of the flap motor goes into a loop, i.e. the sound plays again and again and again and again! This is less of a problem when you're on the move, because the sound gets "stuck" in space and is therefore left behind as you take off or approach to land. However, when on a ship, on a catapult there can be a lot of hanging around and the unrealistic looping sound is driving me nuts!!! :dizzy: So far this only seems to happen to me, so I may have a bug somewhere, or I've messed with something without realising. Does anyone how and why a sound file might end up being set to loop? Does anyone know how I might fix it so it doesn't... and thereby save my sanity?! :dejection:

Pleeeeeaaaaaassssseeee somebody help me! :dispirited:

Andy!!!:biggrin-new:

I know the aircraft you're talking about and you know I don't have that problem.. even though cycling the views changes what I hear. I've had this problem before with certain models but sadly, I can't remember which. Cycling the views generally fixes it. The question you ask is WHY does this happen and I've really no idea. Perhaps someone here will know;)

It sometimes happens to me on random aircraft when I set flaps for takeoff right before taxiing. When it happens I just quickly hit the buttons I have programmed for extend more flaps and then retract more flaps and the sound stops and the flaps stay where I set them for takeoff.
