There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I particularly like the stall shake and all the creaks and groans but my dog hates the brake squeaks, every time I hit the brakes he runs to the window and starts barking! :isadizzy:![]()
Are you running Win 7 by any chance? I discovered, by accident, a few weeks ago that Win 7 gives you control of sound volume per running application. In other words you can make the sound from one running program louder or quieter compared to the others. I found all my sounds were quieter than expected in FSX and when I clicked on the 'Speaker' icon in the 'system tray' and then selected the 'Mixer' option the sound level for FSX was very low. I dragged the FSX slider up and no more sound issues.I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get the brakes to squeal at all. I even tried the Alpha P-2V7, not a peep. And I know when I crewed in them that those brakes squealed like a stuck pig. Not many creaks and groans either. I gotta be doing something wrong, because everything else I've gotten from A2A has worked 100%. I'll go over to A2A for help, but would welcome any suggestions here.



Yes I am running Win 7 and all my sound settings checked out. So I uninstalled completely and reinstalled and all is well now. Computer must of had a brain fart, or rather a processor fart. Now my P-2V creaks and groans and squeals... and don't the tires protest during my hard landings. Quite noisey when I open the bomb bay doors, just like I remember from back in the '60s. Now to give my JF DC-6 a test flight.Are you running Win 7 by any chance? I discovered, by accident, a few weeks ago that Win 7 gives you control of sound volume per running application.
