Default G-396 Bogus Terrain Warning
Has anyone had and solved repeated bogus terrain warnings? I'm now getting them after most takeoffs for about 30 seconds.
Thanks.

I believe there's a menu setting to change the distance between you and Mother Earth where "Betty" starts chiding you. I haven't yet taken the time to change the default settings, and on my recent trip down to the GLO Custom paint shop in Texas, I was getting nearly constant terrain and obstacle warnings. Annoying as it was, I eventually grew fond of her voice and even asked her out.

I still haven't heard from her.

Default A sure sign of O2 deprivation!
Get some on-board oxygen! Ask a girl like her out and you're just going to end up with a bad headache! Suck some O2, clear your head, and fly away from that girl as fast as your plane will take you!

Well, it's not as if her nagging wasn't somewhat warranted ... after all, I was low enough to tell the boy cows from the girl cows ...

Default Whooooa!
That's low......

I hadn't changed any settings but I think they change themselves occasionally, I'll look, thanks.
