MSFS 2024 - Custom boarding music
-
Firstly, thank you for officially bringing the RJ Professional to MSFS 2024. It's one of my favourite aircraft to fly short hops.
In MSFS 2020 I imported my own audit tracks successfully for the boarding music. When I do the same with the MSFS 2024, I get about a second of each track as it starts, but nothing more. Reverting the WAV files and the RJ_audio_tracks.ini file back to their original state it all works correctly again.
Is there something slightly different with the configuration? Its puzzling how it works in 2020, but not 2024.
This is a really low priority request, but since you've sorted all the important stuff like flight dynamics and systems already, it would be great to eventually get it sorted ;-)

There does appear to be a difference in the way MSFS 2024 handles files in a package compared to MSFS 2020, so unfortunately, it's not just a straight drag-and-drop process for adding custom music in 2024.
Once custom music has been added to the "...\JF_RJ_70\sound" folder, the layout.json file in the root "justflight-aircraft-rj" folder will also need to be updated to match the new file(s).
The easiest way to update the layout.json is via the MSFSLayoutGenerator tool available via the following link: https://github.com/HughesMDflyer4/MSFSLayoutGenerator
With the MSFSLayoutGenerator installed, simply drag and drop the layout.json file into the MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe and it will be updated automatically.
Any changes will then take effect the next time the simulator is launched.
Hope that helps.
