How to Use

Fly an aircraft with landing gear(s). (It should have a ModuleWheelDeployment && ModuleWheelBrakes, or FSwheel module.) If you enabled system in GPWS Settings, You should hear sounds when you are landing/crashing.

You can edit GPWS.cfg to add more types of landing gear.

This mod adds a button on blizzy78's toolbar / applaunch toolbar. Click it to open GUI to edit settings or view current warning status. You are free to turn off warnings you don't want to hear.

You can edit settings.cfg for more accurate adjustment.

P.S.1. This mod uses feet for plane altitude.

P.S.2. Change "Descent Rate Factor" to allow faster/slower sink rate. (Set to 2 means you are allowed to sink 2 times faster than default.)
