[EDIT - SOLVED]
Configuration value to add to sys.txt:
[warning]
speedcam_continuous_approach_beep_when_tonal=0 ;default=1
[/EDIT]
Hi all, thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer me. I've been playing with settings and ini files for a couple of weeks now and finally I'm at my wits end and need to ask for some help! I've used SysConfigurator but it doesn't seem to get it the way I want either.
I have a navig8r C43, on which I have installed iGo Primo 2.4. On taking it on it's first test run, I was getting furious quite quickly at how it chirps loudly every second and then at an increasing rate as i'm approaching points such as a school zone or train crossing (of which there are many in my area).
Does anyone know how to turn off this 'radar' beep which increases in rate as I approach an alert point? The previous version, iGo8 which came with this product simply gave a light 'ding' every 50-100m as I was approaching, without as much urgency as this nuclear submarine torpedo radar.
I also can't seem to reactivate the single 'ding' when the alert is 'activated'. If i could even simply achieve this and not the approaching beeps at all, I would be happy! I prefer not to use TTS as I'm Australian and TTS software of most varieties can't nail our accent without sounding like a stereotypical 'hollywood aussie'...
I have managed to change the torpedo radar to a more pleasant tone, however I've had no luck in changing it to simply 2 or 3 beeps as i'm approaching. I also tried copying a few of the relevant sounding config flags from the old igo8 sys.txt file from my backup of the previous software so it matched for the speedcameras, though it seemed to have no effect beyond changing it to the more bearable tone.
here's my sys.txt section for the schoolzone alert and global warnings - i'm using 9/schoolzones to gain an understanding of the settings as there's plenty of them around here.
Thanks again in advance for any help you can offer me.
