Normally i load other aircraft  panel state because i will save me some time to configure again,  before starting Cold and Dark State

Go into:

<sim root>\PMDG\NAVDATA and find a file called ARPT_RWYS.dat. Delete it to let it rebuild.

That should do it.

Looks like your FS2Crew is configured incorrectly as it says "Okay to clean up" but you're on final approach (I don't have it so don't know if that's normal)? My guess is that's the problem.

Also, your FULL name - first and last name - are required.

The Fs2crew MSG appears for ok to clean up shows as early because i load the flight again and the FS2crew procedure was not in accordingly, and Dont Sink  Warning sound is produced by PMDG aircraft not FS2crew Sound if i am correct . 

 

Thank you

I believe it can be any of two things:

1. Is the panel state. If you just load a PMDG default state to rule out the possibility.

2. Are you flying circuits with the 777? I used to have that issue when flying circuits. It seems the GPWS is not cycling out of the takeoff phase and is applying GPWS Mode 3 as you are below the threshold altitude with a descending trend. Hence the "Dont Sink". This may relate to option 1, where for some reason the GPWS is in TO phase.

Listening to the audio (I didn't watch the video earlier - sorry), the "don't sink" doesn't sound at all like our aircraft. What else are you running besides the 777?

Disable your FS2Crew and try it again. As Kyle said, that isn't PMDGs sound.

Hi Bikash and to others with this situation.

You're actually hearing your sim native GPWS thats located in the main Sound folder and have nothing to do with FS2Crew nor PMDG.

You can actually rename it (GPWS_Dont_Sink_bak) and that will fix the situation. I also had this problem with the B777.

You do know that if you do that, the GPWS will remain silent when the Don't sink callout is required?
