I'm running version 5.04. This version fixed an issue for another problem I uncovered about the remote stick not working. I hope I'm not beta testing this thing. Can anyone out there with an S80 claim to have heard a voice warning? Whether that be stall, FLARM, gear or other? Let's cross that bridge first. If so, then there is a config issue most likely.

Yes I've heard all the different voice alerts except for FLARM callouts.(I haven't flown in close enough proximity to another FLARM equipped glider to test that feature after the last release) I had the same issue with the stick not responding but the latest release fixed that. I've had some features that worked in the past suddenly not work after a new firmware release. There does seem to be a bit of Beta test operations going on but Uros always seems to be improving the product which makes it worth the hassles for me.

All the warnings other than FLARM are tied to airspeed sensed by the S80. To test the warnings you can run up the airspeed carefully with a large syringe by slowly adding pressure to the pitot tube. Warning*** Don't overspeed your airspeed indicator. Carefully watch the needle to make sure you don;t damage the instrument.***

If you run the speed up from zero with the spoilers unlocked you will get a warning check spoilers. Last time I checked this it would only happen the first time after powering the unit on. If you simulated a landing by reducing the airspeed to zero even for an extended period of time this warning would not happen again for another simulated take off by running the airspeed up again. (beta tester)

Once the airspeed is up over the stall speed you have configured if you reduce the airspeed below that target you wil get a STALL! STALL! until you speed up again or if landing the speed goes well below the target speed and the S80 figures out you landed. Maybe 15 knots below the stall speed for a certain time period. I get this on roll out after landing and it stops before the glider does.

In normal flight, simulated with airspeed above stall, if you extend spoilers without the landing gear down and locked you will get a "Check Landing Gear!" repeatedly until you close the spoilers or extend the gear.

This of course assumes you have your digital inputs correctly set up and your switches adjusted correctly to the glider controls and the input 1 and 2 setting statements are true when indicating green and false when red.
