Searching Offset for Engine Fire etc

[AchillesP]

Hi Thomas,

Another problem is the firebell. When I activate from pminstuctor the engine fire all lights comes up, also the firebell plays but when I push bellcut out from the fire pnels the bell stops for two seconds and then start again. I do not know in reality if you press also the fire warn switch if the bell must stop. If yes probably with this configuration the bell will not stop.

Hi AchillesP,

I had the same problem, and asked the same question to Thomas....
I found a solution, not the best, but it functions:
under control, you add:

page, FIRE
ENG1/FIRE, 5648, 1, 51, 0
ENG2/FIRE, 5648, 1, 52, 0
APU / FIRE, 5648, 1, 53, 0

Hi guys,
my problem is, that my firebell sound is NOT playing!

I can trigger the engine fire via PM Instructor Station, the firehandle light goes on, but the bell sound is missing. I have already placed a "firebell.wav" in PMSounds and activeted it.

Is there an additional setting necessary?

Hi,

You must add into your soundlist file:

nfirebell,5649, .0, 1, CYC
Best regards

Pierre

Thanks Pierre,
I'll give it a try and report here tomorrow!

In this way, if you enable firestatus from pminstuctor, you are not able to stop the bell. If you push the bellcutout it stops for 2..3 seconds and then starts again. Any solution?

Hi all.

I know this is somewhat an old thread but I just added the console from Cockpitsonics with the fire warning system. Everything
works well with the annunciators etc. BUT the firebell.
There is no firebell.wav file in my pmSounds . Where exactly do I get it
and where should it go?. I undrestand that it should be told that the file exists with the lines to be added posted earlier here.

I read all the posts in this thread and could not find the answer.

Also, in my pmInst failure menu there is only engine fail, not fire.

How do I induce a fire in either engine or APU?. I added the lines
to the control file:

page, FIRE
ENG1/FIRE, 5648, 1, 51, 0
ENG2/FIRE, 5648, 1, 52, 0
APU / FIRE, 5648, 1, 53, 0

I run FS2004 with PMDG as a flight model + PM suite. Hardware includes
overhead from FDS and SYS boards. All working fine.

Thanks

Hi,

In this way you have created a new page at pminstructor with the name fire. Try to find this page with the next buttom.

Thanks. I found it!. However, what about the
firebell??, where do I get the firebell WAV file?

pmSounds does not seem to have it.
