.....or do I have to get it from somewhere else?I read people are using the TCAS, and I can see it mentioned on the radio panel, but how do I get it?Is there a button I need to push/check, or is it a separate download from somewhere?Please help this blind old fool.CheersTim

TCAS is part of the 8/900 upgrade.

Please do a thread search.. There are numerous threads that will answer all of your questions. Or..RTFM..

Joe, please advise the manual name and page number that this information appears in.ThanksTim

It does not work if you have not purchased the 800-900 upgrade package. If you have bought that then all you do is set the tacas switch to TA/RA and push the TFC button on the range selector button located on the EFIS panel.[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

I'm hiding under the desk for this one, lol

Thanks Randy.I don't plan on getting the 800/900 upgrade, so it's all a bit sad.Hanging out for the 747 instead...Chris, get out from under the desk, you'll miss out on the group hug.CheersTim

LOLSeriously, why not get the 800/900?? It's not that much more and well worth the TCAS alone! Tons of new features!

Well, I thought about it, but from what I saw it didn't seem much different.TCAS didn't seem too exciting, certainly not for the $$$'sThe cockpit didn't look any differentI can't imagine it being that much different to flyI didn't see "tons" of new features on the site. Am I missing something really good?I've got a average internet dial-up connection, and I understand it's not available on CDGuess I'll hang out for the 747. I'd jump at an ATR-72 though if I could find one as good as PMDG available on CD.Sorry you missed out on the group hug - it was limited to people who don't put "LOL" on all their posts....Just kidding! Don't get upset. LOL (cringe)

Hey!! No, the new cockpit and features in the 800/900 package are worth it. The FMC has a bunch of nifty stuff, the cockpit looks much better, you have the new glass or old EFIS style CRTs to choose from. I think it's well worth it, and a big bouns. That's just me.By the way, Flight 1 is getting close to releasing their ATR pretty soon. Maybe a month or two tops. It will have Lee's TCAS and be a nice new commuter for FS9.
