Title: GPWS issue
Post by Chris R on Oct 15th, 2024 at 8:05pm
I just purchased and installed the latest version of the 717 to MSFS and with a quick test i realized that the altitude call outs (1,000, 500, etc.) are not the standard mcdonnell douglas lady, but rather the standard callouts from the boeing aircrafts. I read the changelogs and watched some recent youtube videos of the CS 717, which all show that the aircraft should have the accurate audible call outs, mine however does not. I thought it was because i had the FTsim sound pack but i uninstalled the sound pack and 717, reinstalled the 717, and still no fix. not to mention the audible callouts which can be enabled/disabled from the fmc don't seem to be working either.

Please run ACE and check for updates, it should be v.1.1.08

i’ve already updated through ace several times, and verified the version through the FMS on the aircraft. it does not seem to fix my issue.

I found that there was an old sound pack i had installed that was interfering with the captain sim 717. I uninstalled the sound pack, repaired and updated the 717 through installer and ACE, and i now have the T/O warnings along with all of the configurable audible warnings. I still however do not have the proper altitude callouts. Instead of the default Boeing GPWS i have the airbus callouts. I've also noticed i can not remove the modeled co-pilot through either means (headrest and circuit breaker) Something is definitely still wrong with my install but progress has been made in the right direction.

Ditto...please implement the correct altitude callouts!  The Airbus ones don't cut it!
