Default LXNav S80 landing gear voice warning not working

BTW, when I stepped up to 5.04, it did fix the remote stick issue, but then the sound equalizer page was no longer accessible. I really don't care about that page anyway, but it does raise an eyebrow about the level of testing the product goes through prior to release.

The more annoying thing to me with the product in general is the missing "nearest airports" feature. If I could pick the top 5 features I'd want out of a flight computer, being able to display the NEAREST airports is in that list - in fact, it is probably #3 in the list. But the S80 doesn't have it. It will give you the ability to define the exact frequency at which to hear your favorite vario sounds (so what?!), it will allow you to choose the transparency of the airspace polygons (so what?!), you can even choose the default volume for the sounds on startup (so what?!), but it DOESN'T give you fundamental critical information like NEAREST airports! Really?! This has been in every software product ahead of it, so why abandon it? I'd gladly trade at least 10 features that this vario has that I don't care about to get the nearest airports list.

OK, off my soap box. At this point, Right now I'd like to know if the voice warnings are even functional per the marketing claims. Is the warning voice female or male? Can someone even answer that question?
