Yes, I kind of adopted the GPWS. And there haven't been any recent changes, so the wiki description should still be correct (unless there was a mistake from the beginning...). Have you tested the GPWS with the latest 777-200 (in GIT since Sunday)? It's definitely working there. If it wasn't working for you, then we need to look at some FG problem (like the recent sound or directory access issues). If the 777 GPWS is working for you, then it's related to aircraft configuration. I'll be testing and looking at the 733. And those interested in a full-blown GPWS integration could check the 777-200 now. It has a new gpws Nasal wrapper to provide functionality like flap-, gear- and G/S-override buttons. It also shows how to allow lower flap settings for landing (by default, the GPWS requires full flap extension), connection of the master warning light, and how to connect the PFD, i.e. to display the "PULL UP" TCW (time critical warning). Admittedly, the GPWS in FlightGear is a bit complicated. The main reason is that the original author chose to simulate an actual hardware device (a specific type made by Honeywell). All inputs and outputs match the real counterpart - even the binary encoding of digital I/O. And yes, the configuration parameters (category-1...) are also identical to the real device. It just doesn't get any more realistic than this. But while this may make integration/configuration a bit more complicated than usual, I still think his work is really great. And remember about FlightGear: it's not a game - it's a real sim! :) cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
