Hi Erik et al, sound support is broken here (GIT of today). When I start with the UFO at an airport with AI traffic, e.g. KSFO, then I hear a roar for a few seconds during start-up - but then there is silence for the rest of the simulation. No sound when the UFO moves.
On shutdown, I do get a few error messages like these: AL Error (sound manager): Invalid Operation at release buffer AL Error (sound manager): Invalid Operation at release buffer It's working fine when I start at some remote location which doesn't have AI traffic, i.e. ENSD. I commented out the new code in AIBase::update - and then sound is back to normal. However, the error messages (see above) are still there - so these could be unrelated. Anyone else seeing this issue? Any ideas? Another thing I noticed: The sound manager is the last remaining subsystem that is created and initialized at run-time (thanks to James for structuring all the other systems so far!). The sound manager is still initialized in the main loop, and it's done _after_ the scenery is fully loaded (about when the splash screen is withdrawn). However, at this time the first AI aircraft may already be loaded, initialized, updated... Hence, nothing guarantees that AI aircraft won't (try to) use the sound subsystem even _before_ this is properly initialized. Maybe this is already the reason for the issues I'm seeing. Maybe it'd be a good idea to make the sound manager "a proper subsystem" now, to make sure it's created and initialized with all the other subsystems - so even _before_ the mainloop is run for the very first time. Futhermore, since AI+MP traffic may now depend on sound, the sound manager should probably be initialized before the AI, traffic and MP subsystems now. I'm sure we can resolve these issues for the 2.6.0 release (well, we have to :) ), but it'd probably still be a good idea to also add a switch, so that the new AI sound effects can be disabled - for example on slower systems. cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
