Hey hello all!

Nice forum here, so I decided to register here  :) I beg you indulgence, but english is not my mother-language.

Also giving an optional activation/deactivation for the GPWS and some other aural warnings in the cockpit would be cool to have it in.

I've found out how to get the gear up warning activated:

First open the aircraft.cfg an go to

[gear_warning_system]
gear_warning_available=0 <---- set it to 1

Second, open the sound.cfg in the \sound folder and insert

[GEAR_UP_WARNING_SOUND]
filename=cagear

under the section

////////////////////////
// MISC
////////////////////////

so it should look like this

////////////////////////
// MISC
////////////////////////

[GEAR_UP_WARNING_SOUND]
filename=cagear

[STALL_WARNING]
filename=707stall
minimum_volume=10000

[EXIT_OPEN]
filename=door_large_open

...

I've tested it with my 707 and it worked without problems  8-)

But make sure to backup your aircraft.cfg and sound.cfg first, in case anything goes wrong.

I found also this section in the aircraft.cfg:

[GPWS]
max_warning_height         =  800
sink_rate_fpm              = -2000
excessive_sink_rate_fpm    = -2500
climbout_sink_rate_fpm     = -300
flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm= -300

This section is responsible for the warning-callouts, for example "don't sink" and so on. But they doesn't work, I don't know why. In my C-130 is the same section but there it worked.
