3.5.4 Sounds

This section controls the sounds that the DodoSim 206 FSX plays in addition to those provided by the

traditional sound capabilities of FSX and includes switch clicks and dynamic sounds whose volume and

pitch are modulated according to internal software values:

 Disable switch click sounds (for hardware cockpits) - Custom cockpit builders often fit

hardware switches to control the aircraft’s functions rather than operating them on-screen via

the mouse, keyboard or joystick button bindings. To prevent the software from playing a

switch click sound in addition to the real click produced by the physical action of a hardware

switch, this function can be used to prevent software switch click sounds from playing.

 Engine out warning horn volume - The engine out siren can be loud and irritating, (as it is

intended to be.) However, to pacify an irritated spouse, the DodoSim 206 FSX allows the user

to attenuate the siren volume via this slider control. This can be used to either reduce the

overall volume of the sound, or match it to the cockpit volume setting within FSX’s main sound

options.

 Rotor low warning horn volume - As per the engine out siren, the volume of this warning

horn can be adjusted according to user preference.

 Engine starter volume - This setting adjusts the volume of the starter igniter sound.

 Dynamic sounds volume – This setting attenuates all internal cockpit engine and rotor

sounds, including the rotor chop sound, transmission de-coupling, and engine and

transmission failure sounds.
