With 2.3 I have to do that in order to get the systems sounds, maybe weird but effective. Alex Same here...once the flight comes up  I do a quick Flight>Reset and the sounds work fine. The altitude alerter knob is what I check...if it clicks I know I'm good. Hello, The same here too. I have not modified "SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew", just reloaded the bird. For me the problems concern now : -AutoPilot pitch problem (good news Captain seems to have found with the Acceleration issue) -Don't sink call problem during approach Anyway I love this "dirty" plane, I hope it will be fixed soon.  ;) Thank you. Regards. Richard Portier Richard - For the "Dont Sink" issue - try changing the GPWS section to look like this: [GPWS] max_warning_height = 1200 sink_rate_fpm = -1500 excessive_sink_rate_fpm = -2000 climbout_sink_rate_fpm = -1500 flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm= -1500. I think the problem is that on approach, the CapSim climbout sink rate of -100 trips the GPWS. Please let us know if this works for you...worked for me.  The other option is to kill the GPWS entirely by changing the section to: [GPWS] max_warning_height = -1 //disable integral FSX GPWS Thank you Matt for your answer. It works for me but I'm not sure that is the correct way (change the climbout_sink_rate_fpm)... In the Microsoft ESP SDK overview they wrote about climbout_sink_rate_fpm : "If an aircraft starts to descend during takeoff, and exceeds this rate of descent, a warning is activated." Many aircraft have this parameter at -100 (seem logical for me). Am'I wrong ? Regards. Richard Portier

No, you're right...ideally you should be able to set the GPWS climbout warning rate at -100, but I think that is what is causing the constant "Dont Sink" for the Captain Sim aircraft. The cost of this workaround is that the GPWS won't do much to help you if you sink during your climbout.

If you find a better way let us know!
