FSX Cockpit voice alerts

Since finding some settings which make FSX work in a half-reasonable way with the GenX scenery, I've been doing quite a bit of low-level stuff around the Lake district.

Most of it has, however, been done in Rick's lovely JP.

But whatever the aircraft, I get the voice alerts (Sink rate, Don't sink, Too low, etc). These occur in any aircraft, even the default 172. I can disable it only by disabling all cockpit sounds, but then I lose the sound of gear and flap operation (amongst other things).

Does anybody know a way to disable the warnings? Maybe some of the clever folk who can actually design the aircraft know of a particular gauge to disable, for example.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

James

I seem to remember this coming up quite a bit. I'd search the AVSIM, Flightsim, or Sim Outhouse forums because I'm pretty sure the lines to replace were put up there to disable the EGPWS alerts.

Thanks Chris. I can't (quickly) find any posts to disable the sounds, but you got me thinking. Sending all the GPWS*.wav to the Recycle Bin works well, without generating any errors.

Cheers,

James

Two possible methods:

1) edit the aircraft.cfg to this:

[GPWS]
max_warning_height = 0
sink_rate_fpm = -9999
excessive_sink_rate_fpm = -9999
climbout_sink_rate_fpm = -9999
flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm= -9999

2) assign a keystroke to the GPWS (toggle)

Info found at Simouthouse BTW :wink:
