February 26, 20206 yr Hi all! I've been enjoying flying to private airports in the Orbx North American regions - but's really annoying with the GTN GWPS/TAWS warnings going off non stop when it thinks you're about to land in a grass field instead of landing at a private strip. Is there any way to turn that off? Thanks!
February 27, 20206 yr The menu on the terrain page should give you the option to inhibit TAWS. I can't remember if it's in the sim version or not, but the real GTNs on newer code have GPWS and glideslope inhibit options in there as well. Brian W KPAE
February 27, 20206 yr Author It’s there - but it doesn’t get rid of the aural warnings. My wife hates the alerts more than I do hahaha! She’s always like “JUST PULL UP ALREADY”.
February 27, 20206 yr The following is a response from back in 2014.... Source now unknown. Not sure if from F1 at the time or not. The Reality XP GTN gauges were I believe not yet available at that time. "There is a TAWS inhibit, but it never cancels the PULL UP message, that can not be cancelled. This is described in the manual and that is how it is in the real one." I just ran through all of the pages/settings in the latest standalone Garmin GTN trainer and the TAWS inhibit is still all that I see. Here is a link to a Garmin supplemental publication that covers the GTN's TAWS in detail. It explains what the inhibit setting does and does not do (see page 19). And it resets to default if the GTN is rebooted. http://static.garmin.com/pumac/190-01007-12_0A_Web.pdf Are the frequent warnings a function of Orbx scenery? If so have you applied the Orbx elevation correction tool? See: Edited February 29, 20206 yr by Jim Young Embedded the video.

The GTN 750 doesn’t have private strips in its database - so when you’re on final approach, it thinks you’re about to land in a field somewhere random. Thanks for the info though! Appreciate it.
