GEC's Layout Progress
kamerad47 Wrote:Maybe you can help me out ? I been thinking of making a sound box with the sound csr decoder. I want it for the flange squeel while I do my switching !! But I have'nt been able to find out how the flange squeel sounds & how often you it will trigger !!! Maybe you can give me heads up on it ????? Thumbsup

I haven't had a chance to really get into the manual, or to watch the video, but my understanding is that the car needs to be "consisted" with the engine(s). I notice on my cab car, if I dial it up, then advance the throttle, it starts making the clickety clank and flange squealing sounds. The flange squealing appears to be an automatic, randomly generated sound.

According to the manual...

Quote:Flange Squeal Probability
The flange squeal is set to run automatically using CV 201, which allows you
to set the frequency of occurrence between flange squeals based on your
operating speed and scenario. It may be desirable to set this to lower values
if your layout has a great deal of straight track and higher values if your
layout has multiple curves. The flange squeal can be disabled by setting this
CV to a value of 0.



So In your case, it would make sense to program CV 201 to a higher value, since it will be squealing through spurs alot.

As long as the soundcar knows that its moving (through being consisted), it will make all of those sounds.
