Why do you assume something like that Christopher?They are there for a reason... I only know of the GPWS FLAPS OVERRIDE on the J41... didn't see anything else in the smartcockpit.com documentation...Andrew

Look up the GPWS modes. Flaps is an aircraft specific function, but part of GPWS nonetheless, so it will include the other calls (DON'T SINK! etc..).Best regards,Robin.

Adrian, nice couple of moody screenshots...But this thread was aimed at the J41... ;)Andrew

Beautiful screenshots, although after 5 minutes searching I can't find the J41 in this picture ;)

I would still prefer to be able to switch them off. They are extremely annoying.

You could try sticking your fingers in your ears and singing loudly? That is if you prefer not to fly the aircraft in the proscribed manner which avoids the necessity of the call outs? Just a suggestion :(

Take the sound files and modify them, as I do with almost every payware aircraft. There is always some nagging or overly loud sound.This is not even worth discuss.Alex

I will be hand flying the aircraft at all times, so I doubt that it will be on the perfect glideslope during landings. That isn't a problem for me, but the warning messages certainly are. I prefer to determine the rate of descent by "feel", rather than have a computer tell me what I'm doing wrong. That might sound strange to you guys who like to follow proper procedures to the letter, but not all of us want to do it "by the book".

I can't say for sure, but I think it's very unlikely that there will be an option to simply turn off the GPWS. It will probably require manually editing the sound files.I'm certainly not one to judge, but out of curiousity, what is the purpose of buying such a complex and realistic addon, if you intend to fly it in a completely unrealistic maner? Why not just fly the default Cessna or the Trike? They don't have a GPWS to harass you when you go barnstorming.To each their own, I suppose.I'll try and post some more screenshots today in order to get this thread back on track...Nick

Well, that is why there is a GPWS Flap Override Button :(

I'll throw a couple into the mix :(

Hand flying is commendable and there is nothing wrong with going by the "feel". But a well trained pilot hand flies the aircraft to avoid abrupt maneuvers or abnormal sink rates, so it has really nothing to do with "listening to computers" but with practicing how to handle aircraft properly. One could argue perhaps that passengers could also sense crude flying techniques so it should be in the interest of the pilot (and his employment) to smooth the ride. I believe the manual has a graph showing under what circumstances the warning will come off so it should be no mystery what triggers it. Also using the glideslope of the runway as a backup tool for a hand flown approach - I myself would never call it "getting help from computers" - and professional pilots do it all the time, even on smaller and older aircraft without any computers.EDIT: The new pics above are taken at the Madeira scenery, right?

If you're getting warning messages only one of two things are wrong:* Either you're not flying correctly, resulting in the warningsor* the GPWS simulation is buggy and wants reporting.If you fly correctly, you should never hear GPWS (terrain notwithstanding).Best regards,Robin.

Maybe on that terrain notwithstanding.... the GPWS will announce terrain on some mountainous approaches like LOC/DME-E at Aspen (KASE). Over the IAF at 13000 you are only 1500 ft AGL for a short time... certainly woke me up :(
