Searching Offset for Engine Fire etc

[AchillesP]

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

pmSounds does not seem to have it.

Hi,

If you fly pmdg, go to main sound folder of fs, inside pmdg there is a file with the name firebell. Take this sound and copy it to the pmsounds. Then open pmsounds soundlist.txt and and the follwing line

Firebell, 5540, .0, 1, CYC

Thank you. The bell rings.
However, I still have problem

When I test the fire warning system via the
Cockpitsonics hardware, the bell rings and
the Master Fire light lights up as well as the sixpack fire,
nevertheless when I induce the engine fire via pmInst
I get the fire handle illuminated and the
bell but the master fire warning does not light
and the sixpack fire does not annunciate.

Could this be the logic in pmSystems?

Hi,

Of cource you must add at the default logic the bold line.

if firestatus = 51
FireHandleEng1 = 1
overheateng1 = 1
firesolenoideng1 = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
sixpackfire = 1
endif

if firestatus = 52
FireHandleEng2 = 1
overheateng2 = 1
firesolenoideng2 = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
sixpackfire = 1
endif

if firestatus = 53
FireHandleApu = 1
firesolenoidapu = 1
firebell = 1
sixpackovhedet = 1
sixpackfire = 1
endif

Thank you Achilles. I guess I did not go through the postings thouroughly enouh.
Certainly the answer is in previous postings.

I appreciate your help and patience.

I will review everything for the ground up.

It seems to me that the FIRE/ENG failure could be triggered from
both the SYSTEM FAILURES and CONTROL pages in pmInst and
the settings would not the same. Correct me if I'm wrong

I'll sort of play with them.

Thanks again

Just some feedback.

I finally got it to work properly, or so I think.
I can select both ENGFAIL and ENGFIRE from the Failures page
on pmInst to get both failures to work simultaneously, the catch is
that when ENG2FIRE is triggered both ENG1 and ENG2 fire
handles light up. Is this what is supposed to happen?.

I thought ENG2FIRE would cause a fire in ENG n o 2 not BOTH.

5648 1 FireStatus

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

great - now i know how to initiate an engine/apu fire from Instructor station. It works

I also inserted the missing sixpackfire = 1 into the logic file (firestatus 51/52/53)

I use the cockpitsonic firepanel and the cockpitsonic brakeoutboard (flaps instrument) to connect the sixpack. Light Test -> all lights on . Firetest or "real" fire : No sixpackfire (maybe a problem of cockpisonic driver ??)


Presently there are no wires on the microswitches which sense the bottle discharge (cockpitsonic firepanel). If this will be corrected, i think we can extinguish a fire ? Its allready in the logic (e.g. red firehandlelight off which indicates that the engine is no longer burning)?

One very special question : Would it be possible to select from Instructorstation if you need one or two bottles to extinguish the fire ?
How might it be programmed ?
