Squeaking Brakes

[MrZippy]

Hi Charlie,

For your information, if you ever stumble onto it:
Somewhere in the continuous development of the XMLsound gauge, Doug changed the internal gauge reference.
Probably because a whole lot of other stuff and options where added.

You can rename any version of the .gau/.dll to whatever name you like; eg XMLsound.
But the gauge definition has changed:

- Old versions (like you referenced) use:

gauge** = XMLsound!dsd_xml_sound3, ......​

- The latest FSX (32bit) and P3dv4 (64bit) version use:

gauge** = XMLsound!Sound, ......​

So the panel.cfg definition must match the version of the XMLsound gauge ...

Thanks Rob! I was slowly coming around to that fact as I continued researching the Sound.gau vs Sound_XML.dll

Where does one find these squeaking brake effects?

Hello,

The squeaking brakes gauge supplied by LM with the JF_L049 uses the 32bit version of xml_sound !!!!

To fix it, just replace in the gauge folder "squeaking brakes_Sound.gau" which is the 32 bits version with "dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll" and then rename it "squeaking brakes_Sound.dll"
Take care that, according to several sources, NOW the gauge folder as priority over panel defined gauge !
It's why you need to update the gauge binary which is INSIDE the gauge folder...

To use it, you need TWO gaugexx= (code copied from the JF_1049 panel - supplied with Prepar3D V4)

gauge07=squeaking brakes!BrakeSound,  0,0,20,20
gauge08=squeaking brakes_Sound!Sound,  0,0,20,20,./sound/squeaking brakes/Sound.ini

Ensure that you have exactly that 2 lines !

Hi Gerard
I believe I did everything you suggested and still no brake sound on the Beech 18. My friend Rob made a gauge available to me as part of his GPWS add-on and I have it working. I'm mystified as to why your suggestion would not work but perhaps my editing skills are insufficient. In any case thanks for the help so far.
