How to stop "Altitude" call or warning during descent?

Featured Replies

Hi! I have a question..

During descent, I always hear the "Altitude" call or warning.

How do I disable that? 

Thanks!

Look in your aircraft.cfg for something like this:

[GPWS]
max_warning_height         =  1000
sink_rate_fpm              = -1500
excessive_sink_rate_fpm    = -2000
climbout_sink_rate_fpm     = -100
flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm= -100

Set the numbers to Off or possibly leave them blank.  Altitude callouts probably starting around 2,500 feet are in a different area, more than likely in the panel.cfg. and they might look like this:

gauge52=CALLOUT_SOUND!dsd_xml_sound3, 0,0,0,0, ./Sound/CALLOUT/Sound.ini
gauge53=CALLOUT!CALLOUT2500,      0,0,0,0
gauge54=CALLOUT!CALLOUT1000,      0,0,0,0
gauge55=CALLOUT!CALLOUT500,      0,0,0,0
gauge56=CALLOUT!CALLOUT400,      0,0,0,0
gauge57=CALLOUT!CALLOUT300,      0,0,0,0
gauge58=CALLOUT!CALLOUT200,      0,0,0,0
gauge59=CALLOUT!CALLOUT100,      0,0,0,0
gauge60=CALLOUT!CALLOUT50,      0,0,0,0
gauge61=CALLOUT!CALLOUT40,      0,0,0,0
gauge62=CALLOUT!CALLOUT30,      0,0,0,0
gauge63=CALLOUT!CALLOUT20,      0,0,0,0
gauge64=CALLOUT!CALLOUT10,      0,0,0,0

To eliminate these, just place 2 slashes // in front of each line.

Thanks a lot! But I mean it keeps calling  "Altitude", not the number of altitude..

so is it the same way to disable it?

OK, so it's not giving you the altitudes but just the work "altitude" like it thinks your altitude is not correct?  There should be a .wav file in either the aircraft sound folder or maybe in your Sim's main sound folder that can be either deleted or a slight change in the .wav file name will eliminate it.

Thanks! It would work..... but does that happen to others too? Or I have missed something or done something wrong to make this happen?

It kept calling until I landed and kill the power..... so annoying and I thought maybe it was me......

Any ideas? Thanks again!

No ideas except, maybe, a corrupted installation or a pilot not flying his aircraft correctly?  If you feel that everything is OK while you are on approach and your landing isn't harsh, then killing the annoying sound shouldn't hurt.
