GPWS Confirmed.
It’s related to a parameter in the cockpit.cfg definition file of the aircraft, and per aircraft based.
This config file is optional though, so the variable might not work with some addons aircraft if improperly implemented for MSFS.

Parameter Description Type Required
max_warning_height The height below which a warning is activated, in . Float Yes

Oh well, what's in a name... :) I'm not sure if there should be a hardware function for it. I suppose that these warnings usually come visually on a screen and/or aural.

Asobo are not native English speakers though - they may be confusing Aural - which may be 'pull up' with Oral - which may be 'pull out'............................. :shock: ;)

Actually there is one indicator, at least for the A320:
A PULL UP/GPWS Korry anunciator on the side panel of each pilot, coordinated with an aural message.

@jph Good one! Was related to « visually comes on screen »?

I gave most of them a try, but none seem to work. Classic FS2020...
I've also tried WARNING OIL PRESSURE:1 for example, instead of WARNING OIL PRESSURE, but nothing.

I suppose you don't speak Dutch :) But you are reminding me of this sketch from a vary famous children show called Rembo & Rembo. After he tries the condom machine, which refuses, he complains and says nothing is coming out. The sales guy asks him why he needs a condom if nothing comes out. But getting a bit off topic here, sorry :)

A 'children's program' ??? :o - well, you are below sea level... :shock:

Reminds me of another classic - The Irishman who though Johnny Cash was change from a condom machine :D - and Sherlock Holmes was a block of apartments...
Ok, I will close the door and turn off the lights as I leave and apologies to the OP - :oops: :o ;)
