Initial release

Maddog Sound Fix establishes the first public Windows command-line baseline for building a separate sound compatibility overlay from supported Leonardo Fly the Maddog X and Immersive Audio installations already owned by the user.

Included in this baseline

  • Checks the exact supported package versions before producing output.
  • Builds a separate Community overlay without editing either purchased package in place.
  • Lists and searches all supported sound families from the embedded catalog.
  • Uses the embedded Immersive Audio proposal by default and supports current command-line customization with repeatable --owner family=provider choices.
  • Exports canonical choices for reuse with the same target and tool/catalog version.
  • Keeps each overlapping sound family with one provider rather than layering both.
  • Uses IA throughout the compatible baseline, with only two isolated IA gaps falling back to Leonardo: cockpit-door motion and the fast approach-minimums warning. Leonardo's crew/PNF, three-perspective mechanic call, and aircraft-specific sounds remain intentionally Leonardo-owned.
  • Fails closed on changed source files, unsafe paths, malformed inputs, stale ownership documents, and an existing output target.
  • Reports generated overlay edit counts and target-specific runtime-evidence status.

The download contains only the MIT-licensed versioned Windows command-line tool and its flightsimmer README, including project and third-party license notices. It contains no Leonardo or Immersive Audio assets and no generated overlay. Users who previously applied a sound conversion such as Finnisher's script must restore stock supported Leonardo/IA packages before validation and local building.

Supported versions and evidence limits

  • Native MSFS 2024: Leonardo 2.1.282 with Immersive Audio 1.0.0.
  • MSFS 2020: Leonardo 2.0.281 with Immersive Audio 1.0.0.
  • Native MSFS 2024 reports family-level evidence; this is not a claim that broad simulator runtime smoke testing has passed.
  • MSFS 2020 is runtime-unverified because the project owner does not own that simulator. Its generated package will likely need to load after Leonardo.
  • Other add-on versions and simulator targets are unsupported.
  • The executable is unsigned and may prompt Windows SmartScreen.
  • Installation, package ordering, and removal are manual; there is no installer or uninstaller.
  • The tool does not discover installations and never modifies purchased source packages in place.

Roadmap

Potential owner-approved follow-up work focuses on easier placement and removal, clearer runtime evidence, broader runtime validation, diagnostics, and signing.

Read README.md from the ZIP before running the tool, especially the checksum, exact package-root, separate-output, replace-not-merge installation, MSFS 2020, and safe-diagnostics guidance.
