[XP] GPWS Ground Proximity Warning System Version 2.80

In real world aviation, practically all aircraft have a GPWS, or Ground Proximity Warning System. It is an automated system that gives audible information to the pilot, such as altitude, warnings and approach information. The [XP] GPWS is a single HUD, no need to attach any items onto your avatar!

The [XP] GPWS Is the only GPWS in SL that can actively detect your climb/descent rate and play warnings and callouts accordingly. It works with any aircraft and will even function correctly at any airport, even elevated ones above the ground.

-The altitude callouts are very useful in determining your height above the runway or ground, it is especially useful in Second Life where judging your height can be difficult. The GPWS is able to detect if you are descending, ascending or staying level. This means altitude callouts are triggered only when landing, and don't sound when taking off.

-Performing extreme manoeuvres, such as diving downwards, climbing too fast, or simply falling out of the sky will trigger alarms and stall warnings. If you lose altitude after takeoff, you'll hear "Don't sink!", and if you decent too fast you'll hear "Sink rate!". If there is a sudden change in wind speed/direction, the "Wind shear!" alarm will sound.

-The GPWS will give you information regarding your approach to a runway. "Glideslope" will sound if your aircraft is descending at the correct rate toward the runway. "Approaching minimums" and "Minimums" will sound as you near the runway threshold. "Minimums" is called out at the decision height, this is the point where you need a visual on the runway in order to continue landing.

The following is included with the GPWS:

Altitude Callouts (ft)
--------------
-200
-100
-50

Information
----------------
Glideslope
Approaching Minimums
Minimums (+ Warning version)

The GPWS will function correctly at ANY airport, even if it's 3000 meters above the ground.

On the HUD, there are 4 altitude callout modes, these are:

(G) This stands for Ground. If this is selected (green), then the runway elevation is determined by the ground elevation below you. This is useful if the runway is at ground level. If the runway is (for example) 100 meters above ground level, then this will give none or incorrect altitude callouts.

(W) This stands for Water. This detects the Water level below the aircraft and will set the runway elevation to the water level. This should be selected if you are flying a float-plane (or ditching in the sea!).

(C) This stands for Custom. This lets you specify your own runway elevation, this can be any number you want. To enter your own elevation, click the (C) button, then type an altitude on channel 20. E.G: /20 58.4

(P) This stands for Presets. There are 20 preset runway elevations, mostly for airports in the Blake Sea area. You must click the (P) button, then cycle through the list with the < and > arrows. You can up to 10 additional airports to this list.
