altitude alert guage (Read 931 times)

I recently downloaded the A380 panel, and it has one feature that I'd like to implement on some standard fs2004 panels if possible. It has the altitude alert system, meaning that it gives voice messages during landing that count down the last 100 feet. Does anyone know how to implement this on a standard fs2004 panel. I realized I could just change panels on a standard fs2004 aircraft, but the visuals on the custom A380 panel are sometimes hard to read because they are so small. So, I'd like the best of both worlds. Has anyone done this? Thanks....

Hello ictsoftail, and welcome to SimV!

First, you'll need to know the actual name of the gauge responsible for the altitude callouts. Then it's just a matter of adding that gauge to the panel.cfg of your choice. (It's a bit more complicated than that really, but that's how to get started. We'll get into the trickier stuff a bit later.)

Can you post a link to the panel you're talking about?

Incidentally, you'll likely get more of the help you're looking for if you post your question in the "Scenery & Panel Design" located here. Wink

Here is a gauge (with installation instuctions) called "Boeing Altitude Callouts".

It is very easy to install. The only thing I have against it is that you also hear the callouts during an instant replay even when viewing the aircraft from the exterior. I think I might look at the xml code to see if I could add a conditional statment based on the view.
