It's a WAV file in the FSX/Sound folder. Just delete it Wink

Maybe save it somewhere in case you want it back.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

how could we ever want that back, half the time I do a low level flight, it says "don't think" through the engine noise Cheesy

and if you find it still plays, rename this one fsx/sound/GPWS_Dont_Sink.wav

The reason I suggest this one is that there isn't a gpws folder in my installation.

The other one that irreitates me is 'too low terrain' when your deliberately low for a reason.

Wouldn't it be better to replace those files with a totally silent .wav file rather than the risk of a program crash due to a file being called that doesn't exist?

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

I always thought the default "Don't sink" and "Low Gear" sounded like "You're sick" and "Oh dear!". At first, I thought it was commentary on my flying. Wink

That was a good show. Grin

Has anyone ever flown in a large simulator? Is it harder than flying in FSX on the PC?
Even though those messages can be annoying, they do serve a real purpose in some flying situations. They also add to the white knuckle effect when you can't see anything out the windscreen while landing in the muck.

Take Care,

A long time ago I assigned a button on my throttle base (X52 Pro) to the GPWS toggle on/off.

So now when the irritator sounds off I have the ability to silence the annoyin' thing.

Now if I could find that setting for my lovely (sometimes not really) wife, then all would be well with the (domestic) world! Cheesy

I love the smell of radials in the morning!

I work on the B-52H sims at Barksdale. It's as different as driving a car vs driving a PC car sim. In the simulator, there is total emersion, including motion cues when the motion system is on, not to mention the field of view out the windows.
