thank you for your prompt reply, I wasn't asking for a customization, merely pointing out the fact that 'gatso' is the only one of the warnings that has retained 'bing bong' in the sounds, no, not not a customisation just a request to drop the 'bin bong 'period, in the current data.chk files

Regards Peter

Peter, earlier in this thread I linked to where you can create your own warning sounds, and change the warning text labels that appear), if you want to drop the Bing Bong use the POIExtend to extract the warning sound, change it from a .OGG to .wav file type, then use an audio editor (Nero or similar) to cut the bit you don't want. Save the "new" file and convert it back to .OGG, then replace the existing warning with the new one using POIExtend - this probably sounds like alot of messing around but it shouldn't take too long - Mike

Thanks Mike, to hibrow for me, i'll wait until Ray Flans Liz walker comes out for version 5.42

Yes unplugged it is the Bing Bong that I hate most, I'm sure the earlier data.chk file i had with version 5.2 didn't have any bings and bongs.
Why is it so difficult to remove? In plain english please!

Well it is possible to make a new sound file in v5.402 using POI Extend.

You can also change some of the voices for example I changed the Liz one so when she says AT the roundabout to use the softer "at" and got rid of "At the roundabout bear left" and changed it to "at the roundabout turn left" but thats just personal preference the strong AT was rearlly annoying me Laughing

You can also make a Liz Walker warning sound (dont try to add more then the standard 15 or change the text) but as I previously said you cant seem to get rid of the Bing Bong Gatso.

Ray flannagens liz walker dat.chk file for 5.42 is now available, and it is great, not a bing bong in site or an american accent, I only asked what everybody else wanted, not too much I would have thought.
Thanks again everybody[/quote]

Thanks you friendly lot. With clear instructions I changed the old bells and gongs with a more human sound. Thanks again. :D
