737NG TCAS

[Guest danielslade]

Hi all,I am having trouble with the TCAS not working. I have version 1.3 and have followed the manual. When on the ground I have set TCAS to test and I do not see the result on the N/D also in the PMDG menu PMDG/737NG/STYLES I see no option for TCAS or VARIOUS pages also as stated in the manual.Ok all, how thick am I being??Thanks Daniel SladeBAW1198

Daniel,two things I can suggest :a) push the traffic button to make traffic visible ( press on the range selector for the ND on the glareshield ):( before takeoff, set your transponder to TA/RA to see the traffic on the ND (the switch on the radio panel you set on test as described in your question above ) but turn it all the way to the right. Make sure transponder ist set correctly as ATC tells you to.Happy FlyingSteve

To add, you need to have the 800/900 as well.Thank you

I have a question about the TCAS also, I cannot get it to display TA/RA it always says "TA only" even if the selector points to TA/RA. Any ideas? thanksAndras

I did'nt know TCAS was available in 737NGJack

Further to my last, I have a question.Will TCAS ever be available in the 737 600/700 or will 737 800/900 be available or able to run in 2002 (I hate 2004)?Jack

[Guest forever_49ers]

Jack,I use TCAS on a -600 and -700, but it might be necessary to have the -800 / -900 installed in order to do so.Dont know about FS2002, only have FS2004Steve

This is a bit confusing so let me try to clarify...TCAS is only available with the 800/900 package. The 800/900 is only compatible with FS2K4 (before you ask why, try doing a search). The 800/900 package upgrades the 600/700 with all of the features in the 800/900 package including TCAS.Hope this doesn't muddy the waters further ;-)Andras: If things are set up properly this is the correct readout when your on the ground and should change to TFC once you are airborn (approx 1000ft radio alt).

hmmm I'll see if it works thanksAndras
