PMDG MD-11
PMDG Sounds Menu:
The PMDG Sounds menu provides a simple to use tool that will allow you
to balance the volume of sounds produced by the PMDG aircraft (such as
GPWS and TCAS callouts) with those produced by the simulator. The tool
works just like a volume control knob, and is pre-set to Mid-Level, which
should be acceptable on most hardware configurations.
Located within this menu is a checkbox that will allow you to hear internal
cockpit warnings and callouts when viewing the aircraft from an external
view. This capability is turned off by default.
It is important to note that as a result of Microsoft Flight Simulator’s
internal sound logic, it is necessary to select the “Allow sounds to play in
external and VC views” option if you
wish to hear most of the cockpit
related sounds while outside of the 2D cockpit. (In the virtual cockpit, for
example!) We recommend leaving this box selected.
If you find that the ambient noise level is too high relative to other settings,
you can adjust the volume to suite your tastes.
Please note that we have gone to great lengths to accurately model the
sound level experienced by pilots on the flight deck of an MD-11. Most
people never get to hear the sound from the cockpit, and they are
surprised by how little sound can be heard from the flight deck. This
sound experience has been accurately modeled within Flight Simulator.
