cabin announcements

[philw06]

Hello all,

where can we increase cabin annoucements's sounds ?

It's too low !

[Matteo Spacca]

Good question. I can barely here them from the cockpit

[BIGralph]

Right!

[Hans-Peter Benz]

Where can we change/record own cabin announcements?

[JABZ]

The thing is is that you aren't meant too hear the cabin announcements that loud in the cockpit. go into the cabin and you'll hear it perfectly fine 

[Swisspilot1986]

on the OIS you can adjust announcements noises as well

[Simdo0804]

Hi everyone.

I don't hear the cabin annoucement's. The volume set in the OIS is at maximum.

At what stage can I "try" to hear them eventually?
Is there an activation trigger?

Are these announcements only for the 2024 version (with cabin) ?

No, you can hear on 2020 as well if you change the camera to the cabin. I am not able to hear anything from cockpit so far.

[danhenri]

That's what I noticed. Thanks.

To hear them in the cockpit, click the PA knob and turn it up.

for me, the announcemens only work after setting zfw and block fuel in mfd, maybe this is your problem

Thanks for feedback but I can hear the announcement if I switch the cam to the cabin, but nothing when I came back to cockpit. Therefore it is not related with it for me unfortunately 

[Eddie]

I was able to repro no sounds coming through into the cockpit even with the PA knob turned on, my apologies. Passed this on to the team 🙂 
Thank you!

[LrN]

I performed 2 tests
1: using inimanager's qatar livery (a350 1000) I have announcements inside the cockpit (using arabic language)
2:using third party livery (azul) (a350 900) I didn't hear announcements in the cabin (using portuguese brazilian language)

Could be related to variant or liveries

I am using both 900 and 1000 variants. Already made more then 10 flights. By the way, I didn't use third party liveries, all of them were downloaded via inimanager.

My tests were done on fs20, let's wait for the development team to fix these problems

@Eddie

I tested it on fs 20 and 24, the black button above the PA knob doesn't light up for me, but when I press it, I can hear the cabin announcements loud and clear

we need to make sure everyone is pressing the black button above the volume knob to hear the announcements

/edit cabin annoucements starts after set zfw in mfd

I am pressing PA button as habit from fslabs back in P3D days.. Before starting APU and boarding, during setting the ground frequency, after loading the aircraft from EFB.  It lights up in my PC. But I am not able to hear anything. I understand that announcement behavior is changing from person to person in this case. Therefore, not pressing the PA button is not only reason.

Estou pressionando o botão PA como hábito dos fslabs nos dias do P3D. Antes de iniciar o APU e embarcar, durante a configuração da frequência de solo, após carregar a aeronave do EFB. Ele acende no meu PC. Mas não consigo ouvir nada. Entendo que o comportamento do anúncio está mudando de pessoa para pessoa neste caso. Portanto, não pressionar o botão PA não é o único motivo.

Are you sure you are pressing this button? Because it makes a difference in the audio volume for me

This button normally transmits your voice to the cabin, when you press and hold it you can make announcement to the cabin, it shouldn't affect the hearing under normal conditions. But I tried anyway, doesn't work again. When you press it, it disables your microphone for vhf1 as well.
