At last ...!

Actually I could just make a simple gauge that turned that darn thing on and off by the switch of a ... well switch (but which one ) Haven't got a complete panel-layout, so I wouldn't know where to place it.

I wonder if the Civil VC10 had GPWS at all in those days, or if it was invented later?...

Hi Dan

I don't know of a GPWS system on any civvie VC10's mate. The 1-11 had a lamp and audible warning if that's any help :roll:

As far as I know the civil VC 10 used the old fashion warning system

If you hit the ground you knew you were too low. :doho:

I don't think the Nigeria Airways loss would have occurred if one had been fitted.

I'm fairly sure if you delete the whole [GPWS] section then it turns all the alarms off.

Hi SKip,

Yep.. it's another way around the problem. I hate the darned things anyway so found it easier to remove the offending gauges rather than trawl through all the ones I'd ported over to change the cfg Whichever you're happy with is the order of the day ;-)

You only need the max_warning_height = -1 AFAIK. The example I gave was taken directly from the Acceleration F-18, and that's all there was.
I also think deleting the whole section will not disable the GPWS, as my Hunter never had it in the first place and you still get call outs
I'm probably wrong though

DG,

You may be right, although at some point I found I was getting GPWS warnings in my Wyvern despite never having added it, looked in the cfg and there was a section for it, and some gear warning system as well. It may have been added by a third party editor at some point, I just removed the whole section as it was annoying me!

[DanKH]

Dave: You're absolutely right because, as you very well know, the VC10 doesn't have that section either.

Btw. We had the exact same recommendation over at HJG a while back :doho: Just slipped my mind.

Dan..

If we could all remember everything we've seen and been told.. there'd be no need for forums, books or Wikipedia ;-)
