Seatbelt chime

[LukeFF]

The chime when turning on the fasten seatbelts sign only plays once, i.e., if you turn it on during the cockpit prep it'll sound the chime but if you turn it off and then on again during cruise the chime sound won't play.

Hi @LukeFF

Can you confirm the chime isn't playing at all or just too quiet? You can check this by turning all volume sliders on the A300 EFB Options off except SYSTEMS and MASTER.

I recommend increasing the systems volume generally to help. Thanks!

[LukeFF]

I will have another look when I can, but I do know that already I have the sliders set the maximum level.

Alright, I finally got around to checking this and there is definitely a bug with it. 

It also happens when using the red AP disconnect button on the yoke - the sound will play the first time but not any more after that.

Sorry, not able to reproduce this on the ground, or in the air, for either Seatbelt/No Smoking or the AP Disco (AP1 or AP2). Tried 10 times for each, can still get audio feedback for them at all times.

Could you perhaps try with a clean work folder? Delete all the contents of these folders. It will re-compile these files next time you launch the A300.

Alright, I'll look at it again when I get the chance. 

[LukeFF]

Alright, I cleared it out (second time I've done this) and...no dice - except now the chime doesn't play at all and the autopilot disconnect button sound on the stick only plays once.

[LukeFF]

Wait, now it's working again... 🤪

[LukeFF]

Addendum to the above: it still only chimes once. 

[richboy2307]

Hmm, we are not able to reproduce the issue. On either Marketplace or iniStore version. Able to get the chimes across various stages of flight, multiple times.

There is a certain cooldown period (less than 5 seconds) for the sound, so they won't play simultaneously if you keep spamming the switch, however at no point did it only play once for the entire flight.

[LukeFF]

I dunno what to think, then. I'm not running any sort of sound or other enhancement mods that would cause an issue.

Hi Luke!

Might be a bit too obvious but have you attempted a clean reinstall of the plane?

I've not tried that yet, no. Guess I'll give that a try next...

Nope, didn't work - did a full uninstall and reinstall and deleted the work folder, but the same problem is still there.

Okay, now it's working - the cockpit door has to be open to be able to hear it (PW freighter).
