	Greetings, Have trolled though all the B7x7 posts but found no solution to this particular issue ... The GND PROX GEAR warning is sounding off in the LOC intercept with 2 - 3,000ft to go, 160-180kts �and 5, 10 or 15 of flap. A bit premature? Whatever, here's the problem: whatever the approach config. the overide switch (GND PROX / CONFIG GEAR OVRD) won't inhibit the aural warning to 'CHECK GEAR, CHECK GEAR' ... ad nauseum. Lowering the gear is the only thing that shuts it up. Any clarification please? Is there a way to reset/change �parameters in an .ini or .cfg file somewhere? � Regards Gareth SPAIN ex-SUAS RAF Squadron 'Another B767' fan for some time I generally find myself flying the CS 767 (along with another company PFE and FDC) for its friendly interface and pleasing graphics. FWIW �

	Try adding this to the aircraft.cfg to see if it helps: [GPWS] max_warning_height � � � � = �1000 sink_rate_fpm � � � � � � �= -1500 excessive_sink_rate_fpm � �= -2000 climbout_sink_rate_fpm � � = -100 flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm= -100 Just so you know, these are copied from the CS757 aircraft.cfg where they are commented out. The one of interest to you is [i]max_warning_height=1000[/i] and to a lesser extent, [i]flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm=-100[/i]. Change it to your preference. [i]From the FSX SDK help. Use the marks "//" to add a comment, or comment out a line you do not wish to be processed[/i]. Hope this helps. Mark

	Hi Markov, Thanks for the fast, and promising looking reply. I'll try first opportunity and get back. Cheers, Gareth

FWIW � This is from the aircraft cfg file. Change the value in the flap_limit_idle from 5.0 to 21.0. This should eliminate the warning until you select 25 degrees of flaps. You will need to lower the gear before selecting 25 to avoid the warning. [gear_warning_system] gear_warning_available = 1 pct_throttle_limit = 0.1 flap_limit_idle = 21.0 flap_limit_power = 25.5

	Thanks for that tip. I always screamed some words including the letters w,t and f as that warning came up although I pressed that "inhibit" button before.
