Replacement alert sounds for X-Plane 11 including GPWS, glide-slope, terrain and gear warning sounds
I very much dislike the default callouts which come with X-Plane 11, so I'm slowly building up a set of replacements which I have sourced from various parts of the web. I will replace the sounds with more authentic and higher quality recordings when I come across them. If you have any better sounds, please create a PR.
Download the sourcecode zip file of the latest release (or clone the repo).
Backup your current alert sounds directory in X-Plane \X-Plane 11\Resources\sounds\alert. You can simply make a copy of the entire alert directory. I just named it alert_backup.
Copy the contents of the Resources/sounds/alert directory from the zip and paste it into the corresponding directory in your X-Plane 11 installation. E.g \X-Plane 11\Resources\sounds\alert.
Replace/overwrite the files which are already present.
Installation is now complete.
Simply follow the instructions for installation above to update when new sounds are added, excluding Step 2.
When you install updates in X-Plane 11, it checks to see if any files have been modified, you may see a warning asking you if you wish to overwrite the sounds files. Simply skip the overwriting and the custom sounds will not be replaced when updating.
Here are the sounds which have been replaced already with this project:
- Glide slope alert
- Minimums callout
- TCAS alert
- Windshear
- Gear alert (not extended/lowered)
- Sink rate alert
- Pull up callout
