Unable to Override default aircraft sound.xml

Version: 1.7.35

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Blocker

Marketplace package name: bravoairspace-a33x-audio-suite

Context: Not working via Draft packages, nor streamed nor downloaded.

Similar MSFS 2020 issue: not applicable

Bug description: Uploaded custom sounds not working in Draft developer mode. Package works when it is in the Community folder. Based on my findings, the sound.xml file isn’t overridden by our custom sound.xml file. The default sound.xml remains.

Repro steps: Use only the uploaded custom sound package that’s in the cloud. Load the Airbus A330 parked at a gate, engines off. Two things that will confirm the custom package works: You can’t hear the GPU when in avatar model. In the cockpit, you don’t hear the pilot cough after seating in the captain’s seat.

Hello @playboy

This is due to order hints.
I’m not sure why but the A330 already uses Sim Object Patch and bravoairspace comes before microsoft alphabetically so your package is mounted before the aircraft one.
You don’t have the issue with the Community version because all Community packages are mounted after Marketplace ones for the same hint.

I’ll have this reviewed to see if the A330 package order hint can be changed.
I would suggest you use the Custom SimObject patch hint as a workaround for now.

Sylvain
