     820  The approach callouts are audio files specific to aircraft types, that are
     821  played back during approach when passing certain altitudes. The
     822  approach callouts editor window allows editing the list of these
     823  callout files for each aircraft. The window can be displayed by
     824  selecting  <b>Tools/Approach Callouts Editor...</b> or by  pressing
     825  <b>Ctrl+E</b>.
     826  </p>
     827
     828  <p>
     829  The top part of the window displays the selector of the aircraft
     830  type. Below it, you can find two buttons on the left, and the list
     831  of the callouts with the altitudes they belong to on the right. The
     832  list displays only the filename portion, but the if you hover the
     833  cursor above an item, the full path will be displayed. The list is
     834  always sorted according to the altitude, but you change the order
     835  from descending to ascending.
     836  </p>
     837
     838  <p>
     839  The <b>Add new callout</b> button shows a file selection dialog
     840  window. After selecting a file, it will be added to a list with some
     841  altitude, which can be edited immediately. If the name of the file
     842  contains a number that is possible as an altitude, that will be used
     843  as the altitude given to the file, otherwise some meaningful default
     844  is selected based on the lowest or highest altitude.
     845  There can be no two files with the same altitude. If you set an
     846  altitude, which is already present in the list, a dialog box will be
     847  displayed, and you can choose to replace the old file or to continue
     848  editing. To edit an altitude already in the list, select that row,
     849  and click on the altitude again.
     850  </p>
     851
     852  <p>
     853  If you select one or more items in the list, the <b>Remove</b>
     854  button becomes available, and pressing it will remove the selected items.
     855  </p>
     856
     857  <p>
     858  Note, that any changes you make are effective only if you press
     859  the <b>OK</b> button when having finished the modifications. If the
     860  flight has already started, no changes made to the corresponding
     861  list of callouts have any effect during the flight.

     998  If the <b>Enable approach callouts</b> checkbox is
     999  checked, and you have also <a href="#calloutsEditor">set up</a>
     1000  approach callouts for the aircraft being used, you will hear those
     1001  callouts during approach.
