I have sorted out and smoothed over a few things:
The glideslope and localiser capture with speech or drum sounds are now correct. The GSI and CDI pluck sounds are now working so you can use sounds instead of speech there. The indicator calls are each 5% up to 30% then 10% up to 90%. !00% swing on the indicators means at or above 100% so is not called out. There is a new item in the Voice items options checkbox window called "HSI Direction Plucks". The checkbox on the Voice settings page "Sounds with Autopilot On" must be checked to hear Autopilot tones, plucks and drum sounds. Sounds checked on for aircraft attitude and direction work when the autopilot is off.
The landing gear handle operation is called out with "landing gear handle up" or "down", and when the gear is up and stowed you get the "landing gear up, retracted" callout. When the gear is down fully you get the "landing gear down, locked" callout. There is a new checkbox in the Voice items options checkbox window found under Flaps, called "Landing Gear", check that for the callouts for the completed landing gear movement. The "Equipment Switches" option enables the Landing Gear Handle callout.
Some reorganising of priorities of callouts for switching autopilot and equipment buttons has been made, and so hearing more items called out when coinciding with other callouts. Airspeed callouts are made when the true airspeed changes by certain amounts, the IAS value is called out with those but will be the exact indicated speed at the time the callout is made. So a typical speed callout will be for example "130 knots true airspeed, 127 indicated".
The auto-throttle with rudder help is enabled when you select a speed above taxi speed, as it was initially enabled with speeds over parking speed. So for example, selecting the climb speed preset will be used for take-off and the aircraft will attempt to head for the centerline. The aircraft will also head for the centerline when slowing down after touchdown.
I found a problem in the system whereby an exception might be logged in the flight log and this could sometimes result in the parking brake toggled.
Cancelling the question to redo the index build will remain cancelled, in some circumstances it would continue to ask for a rebuild when restarting Ideal Flight.
