• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Another finding...the systems file portion of the aircraft xdp also references effects files. So as a test I put some new voice effects into it thus:

<Systems>
<System ID="nose_structure" Name="nose structure">

What this means is when that part gets hit you hear a voice. What's the point in that I hear you ask?? :)
Well thinking of James' bombers you could have a crew member telling you what part of your aircraft is hit, eg "Skipper, port engine's on fire"

More possibilities! :)

Exactly the sort of thing that might work. As I said in an email to Clive and Dan, I assume steps are
ac effects file">effects.xml>sound.wav?
So
Can be used by player ac?
How about non damage events, some mentioned by me above?
 
ChatGPT4o discussion, Still in progress, but the conclusion is that gvp files are irrelevant to CFS3.
