Audio callout requests

Per Steve's suggestion, I've started a new thread to discuss possible audio callout expansions. He said "As a potentially interesting aside, we did record about 100 aurals for various things and they are in the code - we just don't make a call to most of them at this time." But in typical AviJake-tease mode he didn't tell us what's already recorded, leaving it to use to make our case for what callouts we'd like to see. I'll start the bidding:

All of the listed call outs here and in the new release thread have good applications for different pilots and situations. How about a place in the setup to turn each one on and off individually? That way we can each pick what we like.

I think I would like:
FAF
Minimums
MAP

Another cool thing would be a choice between a chime, CAS message, and/or aural alert for each item.

Since this is a wish list, how about a choice of when some alerts happen? For example when do you want a gear/GUMPS reminder - never, 1000', 500', FAF, on impact 😳, if you're lonely all of the above?

I do like most of the listed callouts above:

• FAF
• MAP
• Altitude variation
• Gear (GUMP) at 1000' and 100'

I would also like to see if we could make the Airspace callouts more intelligent.  I would like Class B, C and D callouts, but ONLY if flying at an altitude within 500' of their min/max zones.  So if I was at 3500' AGL, I would not get a Class D alert, but I might get an alert for a layer of a Class B or C.  I like the way my old Argus turns the airspace depictions red from green if, and only if, you are at an affected altitude.

+1

For those of us who do not have a GPSS: 
Chimes for all steering commands as next course / track, climb, descent, level off ; so you do not have to observe the display all the time.  

I've entered this in the candidate database.

There is no single published list of aurals, but the pilot guide does indicate in several places where an aural alert is generated.  If you search the PDF version for "aural", you'll find them.  Most have to do with FLTA, but there is also one for airspace and a TOD chime.
