Hey, there is a freeware program I use, its called pmsounds by project magenta.

Go to www.projectmagenta.com and then go to downloads then pmsounds and download.

It works for fsx and fs2004.

And it calls out like approaching minimums, 500, 100 etc.

I like it. and easy to install as comes with installer, though you need FSUIPC

Is it aircraft-specific or I can use it for any of them?

It can be used for any i think, i fly the 737-800 default, but there is also a mode for airbus aircraft that has a different sounds.

I can't make it work, is there any special configuration what I should use? I start FS, then pmsound and it's mute as death... :(

My problem is trying to make the thing shut its trap!

The Nemeth MD500 has it so of course it is always calling 'Too low: Gear' or 'Too Low: Flaps' when you are hovering or descending .....grrr

I havn't had any problems, though i have only used it in the fsx 737, i just installed and it worked and havn't thought about it much more.

Please note: (off the website)

* to install pmSounds simply run the Setup program and follow the steps you see on the screen, the program will create its own folder and a subfolder containing the sound files.
* pmSounds might not run with some sound cards when used on the same PC as FS
* pmSounds should not be installed within any of the FS folders, it runs independently from FS, on the FS computer or on a computer in a network using WideFS
* pmSounds requires FSUIPC
Hope That helps, :(
