737 800/900 TCAS

[Guest wwe2261]

A quick question, I am considering the 737 800/900 for vatsim flight. The only concern I have is that the TCAS won't work with Squawkbox 3. Does anyone have any experience flying/using TCAS in vatsim with SB3?all responses are greatly appreciated

I've downloaded the 737NG and the 800/900 and have flown on vatsim with it. I have activated TCAS on the radio panel (TA/RA) and activated it on the MFD with the TFC button on the autopilot but I still don't see any traffic on the MFD.What am I missing?Thanks for all of your help. Also on a side note any other good tutorials/documentation on the 737 from other than PDMG?ThanksJeff

Maybe the actual traffic? :) Only kidding. But it's working great for me. I just installed SB3 without changing all the default options and activated the TCAS same way you have. Try fidgeting with SB3 or VATSIM settingsCheers,Vicorhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Also look in the options - multiplayer of SB3 and see what it is set to, I have mine set to detec other players at 70 miles. I think its default was like 20.
