Describe the bug
Radio altimeter call outs/display on PFD seem to be behaving erratically and the audible warnings occurring twice for most altitudes. For example, when landing at KPHX on 26, The altimeter will display 500 ft. The audio call out will happen, which is perfect. Next as the plane crosses 480 ft, the altimeter rapidly shoots up to 490 ft or 500 ft, then back down to 490 ft or 480 ft again, triggering the 500 ft callout to repeat as we continue the descent. The same thing occurs with the minimums and 100 above callouts as well.
I am not a real Airbus pilot, so I'm not sure if the radio altimeter is correct in registering small altitudes too precisely or if the system will only call out the altitude the first time you pass through it if you are descending normally.
Another way to look at it:
Altimeter/ Audio Alert Voice
500/ Five Hundred
490
480
500/ Five Hundred
480
470
450
...and so on.
I hope that explains it ok for everyone.
To Reproduce
For my example, from the MSFS flight planning page, set KPHX as an arrival landing on 26. If you want to use the ILS system for 26, the freq. is 111.75.
On the approach, you should notice straight away the duplicate callouts.
Expected behavior
As I am not an A320 pilot, I'm not sure if the GPWS is too sensitive or not. I do know I have watched a landing of A320 landing in Phoenix and did not notice the double callouts.
Actual behavior
I believe it should just call out the altitude once. Obviously if you ascend up too high, then come back down through that altitude it should repeat. I don't think that going 10 or 15 ft higher, then right back down through the altitude should trigger it again.

Was this working before/when did the issue start occurring?
I can't remember exactly, but I don't remember this issue happening before October or so.
Is this a problem in the vanilla unmodded game?
I have not tested this at this time.
