I sent in the dhc2 and citation a few weeks ago... maybe they arent
updated on the web page yet , but if you can download via cvs they
should be there. I started working on the b1900d  tonight  ...it may
take a few days  .....  I doubt they will ever be 100 % complete ....
the b1900d has a ground proximity warning system that I'd love to make
functional , but my C programming is REALLY rusty :).



C? A simple GPWS needs a few lines of XML in the sound.xml configuration
file. Here is a fragment:

<stall> <name>gear up warn</name>
       <mode>looped</mode>
       <path>Sounds/gear-hrn.wav</path>
<condition> <and> <less-than> <property>controls/engines/engine/throttle</property>
             <value>0.3</value>
           </less-than>
<equals> <property>sim/alarms/gear-warn</property>
             <value>0</value>
           </equals>
<less-than> <property>gear/gear/position-norm</property>
             <value>1</value>
           </less-than>
<less-than> <property>gear/gear[1]/position-norm</property>
             <value>1</value>
           </less-than>
         </and>
       </condition>
       <property>/sim/alarms/gear-warn</property>
<volume> <factor>0.7</factor>
       </volume>
       <reference-dist>10.0</reference-dist>
       <max-dist>20.0</max-dist>
     </stall>

This code sounds the gear warning klaxon if the throttle is closed and the
gear is up. Substitute /position/altitude-agl-ft, probably remove the
throttle stuff, add whatever sound you want and you have a GPWS.

Maybe Im thinking of a different system .I downloaded a pdf file a while back on a terrain warning system ...but it had about 7 different modes with voice warnings... but it sounds like someone is working a GPWS for the B1900D ...... cant wait!As far as the Beaver goes ,I'll see if i can make the throttle/pitch/mixture levers clickable. Days are just too short :)
