Important: This software requires Orbiter Space Flight Simulator 2016 and Windows Vista or newer.
Use of Orbiter's DirectX 9 (D3D9) Graphics Client is recommended because of its high framerate and support for new visual effects. See this Orbiter-Forum thread for download information.
Refer to the section titled Installation in the XR Flight Operations Manual for details about how to run Orbiter 2016 with the D3D9 Graphics Client.

Author: Doug Beachy
XRSound for Orbiter 2016 automatically adds sounds and voice callouts to all Orbiter vessels (not just XR vessels!). Version 2.0 adds support for Orbiter modules, such as MFDs or other plugins, in addition to Orbiter vessels, and version 2.0 is fully backwards-compatible with all XRSound 1.x-enabled vessels as well.
XRSound includes over 450 sounds, including all XR vessel voice callouts by actress Sally Beaumont and 141 ATC callouts from STS-114 and STS-121 featuring CAPCOM Julie Payette. Check out the full list of features in the XRSound User Manual . You can also watch a demo of XRSound with Orbiter 2016.
XRSound also includes a new, licensed ambient music track titled "Solar Serenity" by Grzegorz Lorens (Loru on Orbiter-Forum). A lossless version is available here.
For support information about XRSound, refer to this Orbiter-Forum thread.
Note: If you use any legacy vessels that still require OrbiterSound 4.0, you will also need to download and install SoundBridge by Face, which seamlessly routes OrbiterSound calls to XRSound. Remember that you will need to 1) uninstall OrbiterSound (if present), 2) install XRSound, and 3) install SoundBridge.
