Upgrading to GPWS V3.3 when you have V2.0 installed.
====================================================

Installation
============
- Just install all files as specified in the README V3.3
  Overwrite existing files when asked.
- All gauge files (.xml and .bmp's) in \Gauges\rcb-gauges\ are now called GPWS3*.*
  If you want, you can delete all previous GPWS*.* files from the \rcb-gauges\ folder.


Functionality
=============
See README V3.3 for a full description.

Changes compared to V2.0:
- A new, small MasterWarn gauge that visibly indicates the warnings.
  By clicking it, it does two things: 
  1. RightClick: Panel window switching, which allows you to allows you to operate
     the GPWS without the necessity of having the full GPWS always visible in a 
     (usually) full main panel. Iow: an Icon function.
     NOTE: IF YOU ALREADY USE THE MAIN GPWS FILE IN IT'S OWN OVERLAY WINDOW, MAKE
           SURE TO CHANGE THE WINDOW-IDENT OF THIS WINDOW TO 10060 !!
  2. LeftClick: Centralised aural warning (de-)activation for the main gauge.
- Mode 1-7 is disabled when aircraft is below 20 feet corrected RadioAltitude instead
  of OnGround, to prevent callouts because of "bounching" aircraft.
- Mode 1 now has two sets of threshold values: one for above and one for below 10000
  ft RadioAltitude.
- The standard FS2004 function for DecisionHeight (in meters) can now be made visible
  and changed realtime. Hence the init. variable L:GPWS_Minimums has been removed.
- WindShear callouts are now limited to below the UpperAltitude only. 
- While you can still disable a certain Mode entirely, the callouts for enabled
  modes can only be disabled temporarily now; i.o.w. you can disable the callout
  while the Mode remains Active, but as soon as that Mode becomes Inactive 
  (= condition cleared) the callout sound is automatically enabled again.
  This effectively makes State2 of the Mode obsolete.
- Mode 1-6 now each has it's own repetition timer; this means that if the sound of
  an Active mode is disabled, the aural warning of a lower-priority Active mode is
  immediately started.
- The sound volumes are individually adjustable in the sound.ini file.
- Various cosmetics, like switch bitmaps colors (soft edges, yellow --> amber), 
  and a clicksound for all clickspots.


Enjoy, and fly safe .....
