Don't know how much this will help, but are you using rudder steering or differential braking?

Fixing the constant brake squeal
I had the same problem with the brakes constantly squealing when taxiing and solved it by going into the sim control configuration options and setting the sensitivity to max and the null zone to minimum.
You may need to edit the standard.xml file in the controls folder to totally get rid of the null zone. My entry looks like this:

Squealing brakes
I have the same problem with the squealing brakes. This seems to be the only plane that has the problem. I also have no tire squeal on touchdown. Where do I find the control folder for the CH Products brake pedals and where should I look for the tire squeal? Using P3D v4.4
Thanks

If you do not want to hear any brake squeak at all find the file \panel\DGSounds\SB01_Brakes.wav and rename it to SB01_Brakes.wav-000.
For a touchdown chirp check the [effects] section of the aircraft.cfg and try a touchdown effect that works on another plane.

Thanks. I got rid of the brake squek with resetting the pedal settings. I only get it now when the brakes are applied. Much more realistic. I will look for the effects and make the change for tire squeal.

Wonder if you could tell us what you changed in the pedal settings. I have CH Pedals.
Thanks in advance.

Like Hook posted earlier, I
solved it by going into the P3Dv4.4 sim control configuration options and setting the pedal sensitivity to max and the null zone to minimum. I now only get the squeal when I depress the toe brakes. Still trying to solve the missing touchdown tire squeal though.

As suggested, I have tried several touchdown efects from other aircraft cfg's with no improvement. There is no tire squeal on touchdown. As an example, here are some I have tried. None work.
c-130 touchdown=fx_tchdwn,1
Beech Baron touchdown=fx_tchdwn_s,1
CRJ touchdown=fx_tchdwn,1
F-35 touchdown=fx_tchdwn_m,1
Any thoughts?

Touchdown tire squeal sounds should come from your Main Sound folder. Pretty much any of the touchdown effects use combinations of these .wav files. If you don't have these in your Main Sound folder, then no tire screech will be heard.

I have some touch.wav files, but none have numbers like yours. Mine have letters like toucha.wav through touchrd.wav
PBR?
Hey Manfred & Community.
Love this aircraft, great detail. moddeling is superb. and to think that it's completely free. absolutely awesome
.
Thanks to the posts on this forum, i've been able to add the 2d version of the GTN 750. A place for it in the vc, would however be epic, has anyone been successful in modding/adding it?
What is the definitive 'official' forum thread/website for this bird? it's not very clear atm, i think this would really help users get support. start with a nice opening post with the version/changelog/download links.
It being freeware i understand that updates are less frequent and at best effort. but i hope that with PBR becoming more and more common one could be considered.
The metals on this bird would look epic, i'm sure

Climb Rate Low
I am loving the updated C-47/DC-3. I am having issues on climb out that I cannot climb above +500 fpm. Plus once I get to 12,000' I cannot climb anymore. With 25 knot tailwinds I was only getting 180kt GS at cruise. I was expecting closer to 200+ with the tailwind I had. Props set to 2400 RPM and mixture is set to Auto Rich on climbout. MP is advanced as I climb higher. Using P3D v4.5 and Windows 10.
Am I missing something.

I think 500 fpm is about the max. climb speed you would get at 115/120 knots out of a loaded c-47
Flying at12.000 feet is pretty high for a C-47 (unpressurized) so maybe you could try to step climb to 12.000 feet by levelling of once airspeed and climb speed start to drop.
When reaching something like 140 knots try to climb again and repeat once air- and climb speed drop below acceptable levels. That's what they used to do in the old days.
I will try and see what figures I could get climbing to 12.000 feet ( I normally don't fly her that high)
Normal cruise speed is something like 150 knots max. airpseed at 30"/ 2050 rpm

I guess I looked at specs on Wiki and it is wrong.

Hi John,
Yep those figures are pretty optimistic. I think all these figures are what you could eventually reach, unloaded, low on fuel nice weather and so on.
Only on initial climb out (at full take of power) will you see something like 1000 ft p/minute. Once you throttle back to climb power 500 ft is about it.
when step climbing from 12000 ft you might reach 14000 ft. but take it per 300ft (your airspeed will drop 10 to 15 knots to get there) level off and waaaaaaaaait untill you reach something like 130 knots again....
Looking at your manifold pressure you will see it drop at max. power setting below 30" above 12000 ft. Not much power left there..
Probably the main reason for using superchargers on piston engines (like you see on the dc-4 and Connie). All come into play around 14000 ft. These engines need air and that is getting rather thin at these altitudes. (you as a pilot would need oxygen masks if you do not want to pass out above approx. 14000 ft).

Its Really Beautiful ya but
If you don't have Windows 10 you can't run it AND my guess is that unless you have a computer that can handle at least P3DV4.55 its not goin' to happen for those of us who are on Windows 7 and lesser machines that BTW run FSX(A) and Orbix with no trouble whatsoever... flight simming is great. I just got through flying my B-24J over the Bonneville Salt Flats from Wendover AAF which I created according to photos where the 461st BG trained before going overseas which looked beautiful to me and had a lot of fun for over an hour navigating with BSSMM sectional chart. The railroad tracks and Interstate 80 were exactly on with the Salt Lake City Sectional.
Does my grass look like the above, obviously not, but then I don't spend much time at the airport looking at the grass anyway. LOL!!! The water; the buildings and my REX skies do to me. I probably wouldn't be able to add any scenery to this if I could run it I am sure. You got it right downwind. Hope that M$ doesn't ruin that just because I didn't/couldn't buy this.
Yep...

This new sim is not for everyone especially if you can't upgrade to a new system. I've been waiting a lifetime to get something close to this as real as it gets... finally! I hope they model a riding lawn mower. I'm ready to mow that grass! 
Be happy with whatever sim one uses.
