I’m not sure what you mean, can you please expand?
Or give an example of what you are wanting to do.

Hi Cameron
I’m following this:
> **[Using FMOD with X-Plane | X-Plane Developer](https://developer.x-plane.com/?article=using-fmod-with-x-plane)**
>
> This guide explains how to use the commercial FMOD sound engine to add custom sounds to aircraft in X-Plane 11.
but seem to have found the problem. Else I get back later.
Thanks

No luck. Now I have the inside sounds vice versa and outside no sound attenuation at all.
Many thanks for help/ideas.
