Hello,I just looked at the TCAS sceens and I

If you have a real-world pic to go with this, I might accomodate!Cheers,

hello,thanks for your prompt answer and your offer I hope the pics will help in creating the range ring. Since the photos are made with my digital-cam and seize is to big to post here I need an email address to send you the pics. Would be great to have this tool on board. greetings from TXL/EDDTPatrick HaenssgenBerlin, Germany

hi,What are those dots on the ND?http://www.airliners.net/open.file/468355/L-Paul

Paul, I think that is the TCAS ring, but it looks big because the map is zoomed in. -Alex P.

hey Paul,that

There are two *TYPES*, the one in the above picture and the regular RINGS (Which Lefteris has made an option to have on or off) those other TCAS DOTS are used on some aircraft like West Jet. LK, You know who should have a shot of these ;)[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/betaimg.jpg

A close up - TCAS ring...and stripeshttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/68999.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/69000.jpg

Interesting pics. What are those zebra stripe things on the LCD screens?

Means their evaluation copy of windows has expired :-hah

LCD TEST. I've seen it blue also. [h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/betaimg.jpg

Its the windows 3.1 screen of death. No its actually one of the DEU test screens for B/W convergence , as Randy said it will also display RGB and some other info for screen adjustments almost like an LCD TV .In this screen "RIB" is right inboard DU.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/69030.jpg

Please do not get hung up on specific distances. Saying "only traffic within this circle [6nm or 8nm] could become a problem" is completely wrong. At 1000kts closure rate (e.g., head-on), a TA which fires at 48s until closest point of approach (CPA) would fire at 13.3nm. For a low closure rate encounter (e.g., overtaking), it could be as low as 0.3nm to get a TA. TCAS is not fundamentally based on distance as so many seem to think. It is fundamentally based on time to CPA.Those range rings have absolutely nothing to do with the logic to determine TAs and RAs. They probably help with situational awareness.Lee Hetherington, PP-ASEL (KBED)

Gents-is this what you're talking about?http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/avs..._rangeRings.jpgCheers,

Ahhhh is there room for another STYLES option lol? Oh we better tag that to West Jet's config ;) Thanks for this Lefteris! PS- thought you could slip that new TFC *LOCATION* on the compact EFIS by me eh lol? You are too good buddy![h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/betaimg.jpg
