Squeaking Brakes

[aspen31]

Hi all
Have recently moved to P3D V4.2 and for the most part everything works. I have however found that the "squeaking brakes" which has worked so well now no longer functions. I believe there is a gauge change required for P3D V4 but my mind has gone blank and I can't remember which gauge or what editing. It does work in the Jahn C-47 but I can't recall what I did to make it so. Does not work in the D-18s by Mr. Shupe although I have changed nothing and it did previously.
Thanks in advance.

This SOH thread should be of help to you. There is a download for the needed gauge for P3D V 4 and instructions how to make the necessary changes to your panel.cfg.

Hi Warren,

Since you are using a few of my gauges now ...LoL, maybe you are not aware of my new GroundHandling package (V6, file rcbgh-60.zip here in the P3D-section of the library).
Which includes "squeaking brakes" , and a lot more ...

Cheers, Rob

Hi Rob
I did not know about a P3D V4 version of this gauge or I simply forgot about it. Still playing to make the early, simple "squeaking brakes" gauge to work without any luck yet. I didn't find your gauge here at SOH but on another site. I downloaded it and will install if I can't figure this one out. Your gauge does a lot for a comparatively small airplane like a Beech 18 but in this case "overkill" may be thew workable answer.
Thanks

Hi all
So I downloaded the 64 bit gauge, renamed it to dsd_xml_sound3 (as described in my Beech D-18 panel .cfg) and placed it in the the gauge folder after deleting the earlier gauge of the same name and still no squeaking brakes. I'm thinking I must be missing a step but not sure what it is.
Help or suggestions appreciated. This "squeaking brake" brake stuff once was easy.

Look into the panel.cfg.

Does the panel def. looks like:
gauge**=dsd_xml_sound3!dsd_xml_sound3, ....etc ??

If so, this def. refers to old versions of the XMLsound gauge, and you should change it into:

gauge**=dsd_xml_sound3!Sound, ....etc

Since you need to change the panel.cfg anyway, I advise you not to rename the 64-bit gauge to the old 32-bit XMLsound file name, to avoid mixup in future between these two versions ...

Cheers, Rob

Hi Rob
This what the pertinent lines look like in my Beech 18 panel .cfg. They exist in both the window # list and the VC list. I believe that's how the panel came from Mr Shupe but I'm not absolutely positive.
I will revert to the original gauge naming but currently the dsd_xml_sound3, should be point at the 64 bit gauge which I renamed in the gauge file. In any case I'll fix the names and start again as soon as I am able.
Thanks

gauge64=squeaking brakes!BrakeSound, 0,0
gauge65=squeaking brakes_Sound!dsd_xml_sound3, 0,0,,,./sound/squeaking brakes/Sound.ini

Just to throw a little more gasoline on the fire......I found another download for the P3D Version 4 sound gauge/XML, doohickey. This one also has a new Sound.ini with it and a big readme on how to use it. Might be worth a shot.

Thanks. I look back on the days of FS2004 when this stuff was mostly easy.
No luck yet but I'll clear my head and try again.
Take care
