Nemeth Designs Ka-32A RELEASED

[Kekelekou]

Hello!

I am pretty much done with writing a gauge that sets all systems, switches and knobs to the cold and dark status as described in the checklist.
The C&D status is activated when the top collective push button is depressed.

I'll pack it with another gauge that fixes the lack of cockpit sounds in the FSX version of the Ka-32. This is a simple rewriting of the ND lua script into a XML gauge so that sounds can be triggered by Doug Dawson’s gauge. Since the ND script makes use of default P3D sounds that are not available in FSX, they are replaced by sounds used in Cockpit Sounds addons published by Daniel Gauthier at FlightSim.

A bit of final testing and getting the green light from Daniel Gauthier are still required before I can publish the package.

So stay tuned!

Nice, Thanks!

And while I am at it, I have also fixed the few typos in the sound.cfg file (so that we can hear both engines start) and created the missing APU startup and shutdown sounds.
This works fine in FSX, just have to transpose it for P4D and I am done!

Oh that is great! The sound issue in P3D was driving me nuts and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it.

Glad you like (the prospect of) it.
As a last minute addendum, the VHF1 switch now also toggles the avionics on and off, so that the GPS is mouse-click switchable too.

Testing is completed, some sound distortion may be experienced in some rare cases (when reloading the gauge set with engines running), otherwise everything is satisfactory.

So I plan for a release early next week.

Hello!
I have just uploaded at Flightsim two separate packages for FSX/32bit P3D and 64bit PD (P4D) with the following features :
For FSX/ 32bit P3D :

• Cockpit sounds for the FSX version : sounds are played at clicks on switches, knobs, covers, levers and so on
• Startup and shutdown sounds for the APU
• Correction of a few typos and inconsistencies in the sound.cfg, so that both engine startups can be heard from the VC.
• To bring the helicopter in the cold and dark status (described as “Interior Checks” in the manual), push the pilot’s collective top button (below the cover)
• The GPS/Avionics is switched on and off through the VHF1 switch in the overhead panel

For 64bit P3D :

• Startup and shutdown sounds for the APU
• Correction of a few typos and inconsistencies in the sound.cfg, so that both engine startups can be heard from the VC.
• To bring the helicopter in the cold and dark status (described as “Interior Checks” in the manual), push the pilot’s collective top button (below the cover)
• The GPS/Avionics is switched on and off through the VHF1 switch in the overhead panel

I made a mistake while zipping the 64bit P4D package, so please wait for the v1.1 version (which has just been uploaded).


Thanks a lot to ND for allowing me to publish this mod.

Looking forward to 1.1 and trying it out!

[Kekelekou]

I goofed while uploading the v1.1 P4D package, and mislabeled it for FSX.
So the v1.1 file in the library is for 64bit P3D (P4D), as stated in the readme file.
No FSX/32bit P3D compatible package is available right now.
I’ll correct that ASAP.
Sorry again for that.

[SeanTK]

No problem. I presume at this point that Flightsim.com took down both? I can't find the 1.1 that was already uploaded right now.

[Kekelekou]

Correct : both files are NOT available at the moment.
The reuploads were successfully carried out 2 hours ago, files should be online in a dozen hours (from what I have experienced so far).
