Re: Red brake sign..
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:28 amI'm rather grateful for the Handbrake warning when I'm dragging my stationary, squealing, smoking Tyres down the runway, in the vain hope of getting airborne before I hit the bloody Trees at the end of the runway!...

Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 8:35 amFound a pretty complete answer a few weeks ago, gypsymoth - I got sick of editing them out of my videos, expect that you have too!
Go to http://library.avsim.net/ and search 'brake messages.' A lady called Julie Rhodes has put two neat downloads on there. One of them (the 'lite' version!) just removes the most annoying ones; the later version scrubs almost all of them.
Both work by replacing your 'language.dll' file. A neat product because you can back up your original file before you try the new one, in case you change your mind!
On reflection I went for the 'nuclear option,' the 'scrub 'em ALL' approach. Must admit that I haven't missed them a bit........ I don't need the game to TELL me I'm stalling etc.!
Don't even need it to tell me the brakes are on, Fozzer - if the aeroplane doesn't move, they're on.....!

LOL....
..!I must admit I do find it comforting for confirmation that my handbrake is safely on, when my Aircraft is standing in front of the Fuel Pumps....
...and preventing my PT6 Turbine-engined Aeroplanes from annoyingly creeping slowly forward at tick-over revs, flattening the Fuel Pump Attendant, and sending the Airport up in flames!....

I like to have the message - except when recording (I use the message kill version of the laguage.dll for that too) - but for "normal" flying I made another edit which abbreviates the messages so they are not so intrusive.

Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2009 4:41 pmThanks for info. I asked because I put SHOW_BRAKE_MESSAGE=0 under SYSCLOCK but I still get the wretched message!! It saves alright & FS9 isn't running so........I'll try the files you mention & get back with results :-/

Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:09 amOpa - funny you should say that but I didn't edit the text file!! So - I've repeated my search this morning to AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FS9 with an FS9 CFG file in it. I've made a copy & then a shortcut, & popped the brake message in & it works. I did this yesterday too. Odd it didn't work then.
Thanks for all the help & pointers to those editing files.
