Hi Thorsten B has done a huge amount of work on the GPWS in the past few months, my impression is that with the latest Git code, it's working better than at any point in its history - with the caveat, assuming you have configured it correctly! James We just followed ThorstenB's wiki

Hi, Right, that is related to the problem. Depending on configuration the GPWS relies on a specific altitude source which is only available for YASim right now. You could switch the category-8 parameter to 3 (instead of 2) - and the GPWS will work with JSBSim and other FDMs. Yep, does
