### Settings

Information

In the text field beside the button Sound Player you can enter a command line sound tool, which is called by cumulus to play alarm or notification sounds. Pressing the push button will raise a file selection box. With the help of the box you can navigate to a command line sound player tool like aplay, gstreamer, ... and select it. If the sound file must be placed inside the command arguments you can use the %s as a dummy argument for that.

Example:
/usr/bin/aplay
or
/usr/bin/aplay %s
do the same. Note that you have to add the full path name to the sound tool, that it works sure.

In the spin boxes you can configure the display duration of the information windows. The information windows can appear automatically (warnings) or if you touch a symbol on the map. After given time is expired it will be removed automatically unless the time is set to zero. In this case the user must quit the window manually by hand touch.

All times are defined in seconds. To make the display duration more sensitive with the amount of information to be displayed the real time is weighted with them. That means more items to display will extend the window stay time.

With the item Warning suppress time you can suppress the same airspace warning for a certain time to be defined in minutes here. Multiple warnings are generated, if you move between the different warning distances, definable under the tabulator Airspace e.g. during circling. The value zero switches off the suppression.

An audible alarm can be switched on/off. It is used to emphasize special situations like approaching near to airspaces. The general default is on.

The Nearst Site Calculator is computing the distances and the reachability to the nearst sites in flight. If this feature is unwanted, it can be switched off here to spare processing resources.

The botton Reset to defaults can be used to reset all done changes to the initial state. The settings here take immediate effect, if the OK button is pressed.
