I have calibrated a button on my throttle quadrant to control the landing gear and now the nice tire snubbing sound isn't working when raising the gear. I've tried it a few times, same issue.

 

Any reason this could be happening?

 

Best

This happened to me when using FSUIPC pre-SP1C. After 1C, my issue was solved.

Hi Drew,

 

I'll assume that you're not delaying the retraction excessively, thus giving the tire rotation time to come to a stop.

 

Is the button assignment triggering a 'g' keypress or is it directly tied to the FSX gear up/down command?

I assigned it through FSUIPC (I know it's not recommended). It is part of the Angle of Attack training recommendations. As far as I know I'm the only one having problems with this over at AOA.

Hmmm, OK. I'd follow Zach's advice in that case and confirm you're on SP1C.

 

If that doesn't resolve it, all I can suggest is that you redefine the command directly in FSX rather than via FSUIPC.

 

Cheers!

Hmmmm. I think I too have this issue. Forgot about that sound. Don't think I've heard it for awhile. I have everything thing set up through FSUIPC but I can live without the sound if it means using FSX's interface...

Okay, so I never had the SP1c and that seemed to be the issue. I must have been too busy to download it when it came out. Although, I vaguely remember getting an email from PMDG.

 

All good now

Checked last night. The sound is there. Must be used to it.

Triggering it directly like that is going to bypass the sound because of the way it's programmed. You have to trigger the normal G key event to hear it.

I'm using the FSUIPC "Gear Up" and "Gear Down" command for two separate buttons. Again, since SP1c, I've had no snubber sound issues.

Yeah, running mine through FSUIPC also and since upgrading to SP1c the sound has returned.
