Fire Extinguish gauge for 4 engine propeller aircraft

[Flanker263]

Hi dear reader,

I am struggling to get working fire extinguisher gauges for a 4 engine propeller aircraft in Prepar3D v4.5
It is for Jens Boden Kristensen's Douglas C-124 converted for native FSX by LLS.
I have been transferring working code in the Boeing 707 by FSND (aka Alrot)
However the code is not working for the prop aircraft. (also not in FSX)
Also I did not find a 4 engine prop aircraft with working fire extinguish XML code, so here I am.
So I am asking myself could it be that something has to be defined (like fire bottles) in the
aircraft.cfg or in the interior or normal mdl file?
Anyone who can and will clarify on this matter I'd be most thankful.

I also will paste below my code, maybe I have missed something.

</Gauge>

The code part 0 (>K:COWLFLAP1_SET) ... (>K:MAGNETO1_OFF) in the
if (A:ENG ON FIRE:1, bool) 1 == part was added for the prop aircraft.

Again, many thanks in advance for the one(s) who can point me into the right direction.

You can have a look at the "FSX Douglas C-47 Skytrain V2" by Manfred Jahn + Team.
The C-47v2 has a fire warning and extinguishing system.

There are only two motors, but the system can certainly be expanded to four motors.

Okay I will do that and report back.
Thank you, Bushpilot.

Hi Bushpilot.

Did only a quick look at Manfred Jahn's C-47 which resulted so far not in new insights.
I have installed 2 engine propeller aircraft like the Convair 580 which reacts fine on
the code 11 (>K:EXTINGUISH_ENGINE_FIRE) or 21 (>K:EXTINGUISH_ENGINE_FIRE).
So I am still puzzled as the EXTINGUISH_ENGINE_FIRE event code works well for
aircraft with 4 jet-engines, like the Boeing 707.
I encounter the same as described above in both FSX SP2 and Prepar3D v4.5
Thank you again Bushpilot.

Now so far not found a solution to get fire extinguishing for prop aircraft with four engines...
Anyone?
I'd be much obliged.
