It would be nice to be able to turn off terrain alerts completely. I fly off airport a lot, and the persistent flashing alert gets annoying. I have every terrain function selected off that I can, and it still gives me alerts. Off should be off.

Based on doing Simulation mode at home, I can see that part of the problem was that I had Terrain Highlights selected as one of my Map Layers. In my original post, I was conflating both the flashing of the terrain and the terrain warnings. Looking back, I realize the terrain warnings were not so constant, but along with other e.g. Traffic), it seemed like I was getting a lot of warnings. I just set the mode to solid and I actually like that. In fact, I may set Terrain Highlights back on as a Map Layer. Thanks.
