Bernardo;

I tried to reply to your email but it didn't work :(

Here is what I wrote you:

*************************

To the "Don't Sink" I changed my [GPWS] section of the aircraft.cfg to read 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

It worked for me.


For the callouts, here's more "step by step" instructions for you:

1) First, in YOUR "CS_B727-100/panel" folder, take out the following .cabs (put them somewhere safe):
Captain_Sim.p721.L09.CAB
Captain_Sim.p721.L13.CAB

Then, put my NEW versions of those two gauges into CS_B727-100/panel. Keep in mind you will now need to assign keys on your keyboard to set the Decision Height (minimums) now.

2) Next, to install the callouts do this:

To install gauges:
- Open the folder CS_727_Callouts.zip
- Open the folder "Boeing Callouts FSX"
- Open the folder "Gauges"
- Copy the gauge files there (Callout_BigJets.cab, Callout_smalljets.cab, Callout_sound.dll)
- Paste those three gauge files into your FSX/Gauges folder.

To install sounds:
- Open the folder CS_727_Callouts.zip
- Open the folder "Boeing Callouts FSX"
- Open the folder "Sound"
- Copy the folder "callout"
- Paste the intact folder "Callout" into your FSX/Sound folder.

To modify your panel.cfg:

- Back up your file CS_B727-100/panel/panel.cfg
- Open the CS_B727-100/panel/panel.cfg and go down to the section [VCockpit01]
- After the last gauge listed there, paste the following lines:

gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SOUND!dsd_xml_sound3, 0,0,0,0, Sound\CALLOUT\Sound.ini
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT2500,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT1000,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT500,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT100,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT50,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT40,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT30,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT20,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUT10,      0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTMIN,     0,0,0,0
gaugeXX=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CALLOUTAPPMIN,  0,0,0,0

- Renumber the gaugexx entries, starting with the next number in order.
- Save

****You will need to edit the panel.cfg file for each variant of the 727 that you have installed.

*************************

Give these procedures a try and I hope they will work for you!

Good luck;

Matt
