Ovation III engine sounds when cold and dark...

Good morning.  I just installed the most recent update to the Mooney collection (I've had it from day one - original offering).  The last few updates (I think) have resulted in engine sounds - only with the Ovation III - when starting from cold and dark or just engine off.  This was a known "issue" for a while and I'm wondering if I missed something or this is still something that is being worked on.  No biggie as I'm kind of used to it.  Just curious.

This is being worked on (making a completely new FMOD sound pack)

Thanks, Coop.  My bad here as it happened I had two (20R and 20N) wave files in the same folder.  That's what caused the issue with the Ovation III.  What is actually an important issue is the "bobbing" along the longitudinal axis the Ovation III exhibits at cruise.  We spoke about this a bit on Discord.  Do you think this is a flight model thing or a G1000 problem?  Latest flight with the Ovation III was a 8000'.  23"/2400RPM, ROP.  IAS 167.  I will try with the Ovation II and the Acclaim as I have not flown them since the latest update and will let you know.

Once we get the flight model worked on we will know more about the cause of the "bobbing" -- it could possibly be resolved with tweaks of the autopilot constants.
