Can someone help?

I have a nice 747 with a great panel, but it doesn’t have a GPWS. Is there an add-on GPWS I can use?

I tried to “rob” it from two other aircraft I have, but it wouldn’t work. I also downloaded some of those ADV GPWS things, but I don’t really know what they are.

Does anyone know how to extract the GPWS from one panel and install it into another?

Grazi in advance.

Squawking 1200.

I think you left the 'w' out of GPWS. I looked at the site. It appears to be GPS. Not Ground Proximity Warning System.

Ja? Nein? Oder,,,?
I tried to find that car,,,, the pukes at flightsim.com,,,, they are out of control.

Go to search, feed in "car" (without the quotes) and it'll be the first to show up.

Sorry about the GPWS I didn't notice. Single minded, I need one for my DC3 (GPS).

I got it RadarMan!!!!! Diligent searching, hunting, crying and clawing. (Not necessarily in this order) A GPWS!! Now my 747-200 steamship with all the naked flight attendants have to listen to: Terraign!!! PULL UP!! TOO LOW!!!! GEAR!!! SINK RATE!!!! Everytime I do a normal approach.

After hours on end of trying to chop and rob GPWS's from other ac.

This one is PMsounds. It is a background fsuipc utility that attaches itself to all your aircraft. You can pick and choose what warnings you want.

Sometimes my posts do not 'go through'

Anyway, the aircraft panel, I downloaded it from Flightsim.com (I never download from those A@#$%^#$!!! unless I cannot get what I am after elsewhere) The panel is called 747-200 panel supreme. It is by a Brazillian named Luis Kmnett. You can click on various areas of the cockpit and cabin and it will take you to the various cabin areas. It is WAY cool!!!
I added some things to it such as wing, out the window, views, pushback, flt deck sfx, a rear view showing the passengers in the cabin, engine smoke and a few other things. I am trying to figure out how to add the CIVA INS system to it now. I also added a VEry real sound pak to it. I would make more screenshots, but now, everytime I try to take a 'Screenhunter' shot, FS( dumps. BUMMER!!

I'll tell you what!!!!

There is something called PMsounds. It is great!!!! It is free, it downloads in moments. It adds all the GPWS sounds to almost any aircraft. It is fabulous!!!

It calls out: Whoop whoop pull up.. , bank angle, altitude alerts- 10000, 2500, 500 and so on., minimums, glideslope,, the whole gambit. You can even turn of and on different sounds!!! It is fab!!! Big time!!

I have a B-58 hustler and it all works well!!!

Get it on!!

I have writen a small TSR using FSUIPC that does all of the alarms an callouts. I have also incorperated some system failure at fatigue intervals (ie, gear failure after 500 landings all random, but not every flight!) I need help with some people testing it. None of my friends are simmers, so they don't understand my passion for it. Any suggestions are welcome. I don't want money, just a more realistic environment. I have been running this on 2002 and 2004 with the default aircraft. The way it is set up now on the first run, you need to basically tell it all of the V1, VR, V2, stall speed of your aircraft. It does an 80 knot callout, V1, Rotate, V2, sinkrate, approach altitudes starting at 500. flap alert, and ground alaerts. Please remember, this is a beta program. Any questions or interest email me@digitalsquishy.com. Thanks, T.

You should hear back from them soon although they are busy.
If you don't, post it in their forum.

GPWS in FS2004 (and the “FSUIPC key” confusion)

Hi all — Ian Stephens here.

A couple things to clear up, because this thread has kind of mixed two different issues: getting GPWS callouts vs. moving a GPWS gauge from one panel to another.

1) “Can I just copy the GPWS from another panel?”
Usually, no — not as a simple copy/paste job.

Most GPWS implementations in FS2004 fall into one of these buckets:

A panel gauge (a .gau or .dll) that must be referenced in panel.cfg and may require accompanying sound/config files.
A sound module/app (like PMsounds) that runs separately and “listens” to sim data.
Something integrated into a bigger package (aircraft/panel suite), where copying just one piece breaks dependencies.

So when people “rob” a GPWS from another aircraft panel and it doesn’t work, it’s typically because:

the gauge depends on other gauges/modules that weren’t copied,
it expects certain filenames/paths,
or it’s coded to only work with that developer’s panel.

2) The practical solution in FS2004: use PMsounds (or similar)
Elkin’s suggestion was actually the most realistic path for FS9: PMsounds gives you the GPWS callouts without having to hack the panel.

If you’re using PMsounds and it’s asking for FSUIPC access, here’s the key point:

FSUIPC itself installs and works “free” for most add-on programs.
What you pay/register is the user features (joystick assignments, button programming, etc.). Most external programs that read data through FSUIPC do not require you to purchase/register FSUIPC.

So if you’re being asked for a “key,” it usually means one of these:

You’re trying to register the user options portion of FSUIPC (not required for most GPWS tools), or
You’ve got an incorrect/old key (random keys posted around forums rarely apply to your setup), or
FSUIPC isn’t installed correctly / wrong version for your FS2004 build, so the add-on can’t see it.

3) Basic step-by-step to get PMsounds/FSUIPC-style GPWS working

Confirm you’re on FS2004 (FS9) and that FSUIPC is actually loaded.
In FS9, go to the menu bar and see if you have an FSUIPC entry under Modules (wording varies slightly). If there’s no Modules/FSUIPC entry, it’s not installed/loaded.
Check you have this file in your FS9 folder:
...\Flight Simulator 9\Modules\FSUIPC.dll
If PMsounds is installed, make sure you followed its readme regarding where it installs (some of these tools want to live in their own folder and run alongside FS9).
Don’t try to “enter a key” unless the documentation specifically says you must. In most cases, for GPWS callouts, you just need FSUIPC present and running.

4) About the “ticket” question and the bump
To speedbird_481_papa: if you mean a “ticket” as in a key — there really isn’t a universal “ticket” that everyone shares for FSUIPC. Keys are typically tied to a specific registration/purchase, and the “free” part shouldn’t need one for basic external add-on use.

To Solotwo: yeah… digging up a 2004 thread in 2006 just to ask for a key isn’t the best look, but there’s a legit technical confusion behind it (FSUIPC’s free-vs-registered features).

Quick questions so I can give an exact fix:

Which GPWS tool are you actually trying to run right now (PMsounds, Turtlefx’s TSR, something else)?
Do you see an FSUIPC entry in FS2004 under the Modules menu?
What exact message are you getting when it asks for a key (and who is asking — FS9, FSUIPC, or the GPWS program)?
What operating system are you on (XP was mentioned earlier — still XP, or something else)?
