Or can someone help me please, As a FSHotseat registered user, it does not appear that FSHotseat seem interested in producing a patch for FSX, I have been frantically trying to install the take off, fly bye and landing sounds into FSX.

I don't know a Pete Dawson, but as Pete Dowson I certainly know nothing about FSHotSeat, but all about FSUIPC. I'm really not sure what you are asking of me. I have no idea what FSHotSeat needs which is FS version dependent. You will need to be more explicit please.

Basically I have been trying to get FSHotSeat to work with its Take off Landing and Fly Bye sounds in FSX. I have traced most sound configurations relating to FSHotSeat and their respective sounds in FS9.

I just can not find a trace or link to the sounds and to the AI Aircraft other than it using your FSUIPC for it to work,I appreciate that you have no connection with FSHotSeat, but I would be extremly grateful if you could advise me to a way I can replicate these sounds in FSX.

This is "Pete Dowson's FS Modules" forum, as you can see from its name. Not "Pete Dawson" -- you only needed to see the name at the top to know you'd contact me here, without getting the name wrong of course ;-)

Are you saying that somehow FSHotSeat makes FS9 play the sounds? Are you sure? I don't know how it does that. Most programs which play sounds do so themselves, using WAV files or similar. Check the FSHotSeat folders, whatever, for the sound files.

Does FSHotSeat install any DLLs or Gauges into FS? If it needs such internal support for its actions, other than FSUIPC of course, then it will not work in FSX of course as the internals have changed considerably.

I am pretty sure that it will be only using FSUIPC to obtain the AI traffic details - their states, positions, and so on. It should then surely be simply playing the sounds as appropriate. The FSX version of FSUIPC (FSUIPC4) provides all of the same AI Traffic information as FSUIPC3 did for FS2004 and FS2002. It is compatible in all these matters.

I really know nothing about making sounds in FS -- there are no facilities in FSUIPC for creating sounds at all. There was a module called FSSounds.DLL or similar. Does it use that? If so you'd need someone to produce an FSX version of that module.

I have worked with PIX/ASA in the past, but where i work now, they migrated from a Checkpoint firewall. One thing that the Checkpoint did very well was log both permits and denies. I am trying to replicate this with the ASA and a syslog server (kiwi syslog) and am having problems.

If I add IP address to the list of DNS servers, It works (as expected), but it doesn't show that in the syslog. According to the ADSM, I have the logging set to informational. The actual code in the ASA is:

If you add this host PC-alan to the list of trusted DNS servers in the object-group "MCHENRY-DNS-SERVERS" the DNS traffic works fine but you dont see a sylog telling you that the traffic was permitted.

Since I want to know that I hit line 7 on INSIDE-IN, why is that showing line 8. And is there a way to get those lines numbers over to my syslog since that is how I would like to troubleshoot things (as crazy as that sounds).

All traffic-related controls on all Maine roads open to the public must follow the national "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD). This manual provides guidance for traffic signs, pavement markings, work zones, school areas, and much more.

MaineDOT also has extensive traffic information and data in its Traffic Engineering Division relative to traffic counts, crash records, permits, and official business signs. Another excellent resource is the National Center for Rural Road Safety.

When establishing a speed limit, the main premise is that most drivers are prudent and will voluntarily comply with a reasonable speed limit. To determine what is reasonable, engineers measure drivers' speed on a section of roadway, the speed at which 85% of drivers are at or below is the standard for determining a speed limit. A properly set speed limit will be within 3 miles per hour ( ) of this observed speed. The posted speed limit will then be rounded to the nearest 5 miles per hour.

Research has shown that the 85th percentile speed is the speed where accident involvement is the lowest. Reducing the speed limit below what is warranted can actually be detrimental to safety.

Measurements to determine the 85th percentile value are made under free flowing and ideal traffic conditions. This means that if speeds are measured on any section of road, 85% of the motorists will be driving at or below the 85th percentile speed.

It's important to understand that any resultant study may have the current speed limit go up, in addition to maybe going down, or remaining the same. A field study will be made and then a recommended speed will be forwarded to the MaineDOT Commissioner and the State Police. Then the town will be notified of the speed limit and will be responsible for erecting the standard and minimum 24" x 30" black-on-white signs in the proper locations if the change is on a town way. If the change is on a state road, then the MaineDOT will make the signing changes.

The other type of speed limit is an advisory limit. This black on yellow speed limit sign is used to advise motorists of a comfortable speed at which to travel when different situations lie ahead. It is used with a warning sign like a right or left curve sign. The standard size for these signs is 18 by 18 inches, except in cases where it is 24 by 24 inches because it supplements a 36 inch and larger warning sign. Another type of advisory speed limit sign can be found in work zones. These signs are black on orange. These are used to advise drivers of construction ahead and provide work crews safety.

Two types of Speed Limit signs may be used: one to designate passenger car speeds, including any nighttime information or minimum speed limit that might apply; and the other to show any special speed limits for trucks and other vehicles. A changeable message sign that changes the speed limit for traffic and ambient conditions may be installed provided that the appropriate speed limit is shown at the proper times.

Maine Statutes, Title 29A, Sections 2073 and 2075 authorizes the commissioner of the Maine Department of Transportation, with the approval of the chief of the State Police, to set maximum and minimum speed limits on a public way.

Maine Statutes, Title 29A, Section 2075, states that speed limits may be specifically restricted in a work zone on a public way. A person may not exceed the speed limit as long as the speed limit has been posted on standard black and white speed limit signs on that way. The penalty is a fine equal to twice the normal fine.

Maine law also states that a municipality may not alter, enact, or enforce a regulation contrary to the state statutes. In other words, any town must receive approval of the MaineDOT and the chief of the Maine State Police before any speed limit is enacted or altered.

State law is very specific when it comes to the regulation of vehicle speeds through school zones.Although the law has been around for years, some changes in 2001 clarified several issues relative to:

In an effort to get drivers to slow down, many towns have considered, or been asked by citizens, to construct speed bumps, or humps, or tables, etc. on public roads. If these public roads are townways, then the decision can be made by the municipal officers. If these roads are state highways or state aid highways (inside or outside urban compact areas), then these controls are generally not allowed but may be in certain areas after consultation with MaineDOT .

In contemplating this decision, a town must consider several related issues. If the road is planned for reconstruction or it is a new subdivision road, then a "different" design could be done that incorporates traffic calming measures in the geometry so that humps or bumps are not needed.

From the legal perspective, it's important to pass a "traffic ordinance." As stated in state law in 30-A MRSA Section 3009, "the municipal officers have exclusive authority to enact all traffic ordinances in the municipality." Therefore, the board of selectmen (or town council) can authorize the use of these traffic control devices. From a liability perspective, anyone will sue for anything and a speed hump could be viewed as a "highway defect."

However, state law in 23 MRSA Section 3651(1) states that "legal objects are not defects. Trees, structures and other things which exist in accordance with municipal ordinances are not defects in a public way." It may also be difficult to prove that they are dangerous especially when they have been used successfully by some many entities in the US and in foreign countries. If the town decides to start allowing these humps, I would want to make sure that they are properly designed and marked and signed according to the standards in the MUTCD.

Many towns/cities in Maine are now using these solar powered radar speed signs to tell the speed of approaching vehicles. These modern devices can capture lots of data and can be used effectively to lower speeds. The data can be sorted in many ways and be utilized to do selective speed enforcement on certain days or hours. However, it does take training and knowledge of how to operate the unit so that it can be used to its potential. MaineDOT has done some selected in person training around the state for municipal officials to attend but we felt it better to capture the training in some short videos.

Flashing School Zone Beacons Beginning in 2022, MaineDOT partnered with many school districts and towns throughout the state to provide enhanced safety equipment in the way of flashing school zone lights. This enhanced solar powered equipment comes with programmable radar speed feedbacks signs. These signs not only collect speed data for targeted enforcement on motorists, but also control the flashing lights by individual school schedules. The below videos demonstrate the schedule programming.
