Specific Project help - Car sounds, speed and other noob stuff

[UK_SPAWN 1]

HI all, i have not visited these forums for a few years but its time i got back to (finishing) learning arma2 editing.

so starting where i left of, i decided to get a vehicle in game, just the most basic thing i could think of.. a Jet Powered Hover Craft Of Course!?! (there is logic (no wheels! to do!)

SO the model is made (need a final model but the mock up works fine / untextured etc)

i have made a 'bodge' config from bits i have found on the internet but now i'm getting to the stage where i'm lost again and in need of assistance.

It is at the stage of: i am able to get inside, drive around, hear the default Hummer SFX, default speeds etc etc.

here is my CPP file so far

=========================================

class CfgPatches

{

class firstCar

{

units[] = {firstCar};

weapons[] = {};

requiredVersion = 1.0;

};

};

class CfgVehicles

{

class HMMWV;

class firstcar: HMMWV

{

displayName="HoverCraft"; // Displayname in editor

model= \firstcar\firstcar; // our p3d model path

transportSoldier=0; // Right now just driver, no cargo

maxspeed=2000;

};

};

===================================================================

the "maxspeed=2000;" isnt working.

what i would like to know is/are:

-Can you / How to change the sounds of the vehicle so it sounds like an aircraft?

(any aircraft with a jet, can i just reference another already working set of sounds in my config.cpp E.g use the A10 sounds etc)

i tried to add this, but i suspect that i dont have those directories as its a steam verions and i cant find any of the paths/folders or files referred to in this script.

class Sounds

{

class EngineLowOut

{

sound[] = {"ca\sounds\Air\AV8\ext\ext-jetair-engine-low1", db8, 1.0, 1200};

frequency = "1.0 min (rpm + 0.5)";

volume = "engineOn*camPos*(rpm factor[0.85, 0])";

};

class EngineHighOut

{

sound[] = {"ca\sounds\Air\AV8\ext\ext-jetair-engine-high3", db8, 1.3, 1500};

volume = "camPos*(speed factor[1, 150])";

};

/* INTERNAL SOUNDS F35B */

class EngineLowIn

{

sound[] = {"ca\sounds\Air\AV8\int\int-av8b-engine-low", db-2, 1.0};

frequency = "1.0 min (rpm + 0.5)";

volume = "(1-camPos)*(engineOn*(rpm factor[0.85, 0]))";

};

class EngineHighIn

{

sound[] = {"ca\sounds\Air\AV8\int\int-av8b-engine", db-2, 1.0};

frequency = "1";

volume = "(1-camPos)*(engineOn*(rpm factor[0.55, 1.0]))";

};

class ForsageIn

{

sound[] = {"ca\sounds\Air\AV8\int\int-av8b-forsage-1", db-2, 1.1};

frequency = "1";

volume = "(1-camPos)*(engineOn*(thrust factor[0.8, 1.0]))";

};

class WindNoiseIn

{

sound[] = {"ca\sounds\Air\AV8\int\int-jetair-wind1", db-3, 1.0};

frequency ="(0.1+(1.2*(speed factor[1, 150])))";

volume = "(1-camPos)*(speed factor[1, 150])";

};

};

ALSO:

-How do i alter the acceleration, maximum speed, amount of grip / handling characteristics etc?

i have found a script i can use for "speed" after within the editor for a "turbo" mode, just wondering if this can be set up / over ride the hummer sounds/speed by default without the need for another script.

Any assistance with my project would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Mark
