November 20, 200223 yr Mike,Will keep that in mind.lee is doing the programming, and I am doing the background VSI graphics.Mark
November 21, 200223 yr It will get its traffic data through FSUIPC, meaning with AIBridge SquawkBox traffic will be visible. (Actually, SB traffic that SB installs into the multiplayer environment.)I have figured out how to do so-called vector graphics in a gauge and have a pretty idea of how this is going to look.Anyone have documentation on exactly when TCAS blips turn various colors, solid vs. hollow, when RAs (resolution advisories) are triggered, etc.? This is going to be the hardest part of the programming, but I think it is doable. I expect no RAs initially.Lee Hetherington (KBED)
November 21, 200223 yr 1)RA-a red filled sqaure, is a traffic threat within 25 sec of collision.2)TA-an amber filled circle ,threat is within 40 sec of collision.3)Proximate traffic-A cyan filled diamond, non threat traffic within 6nm range and 1200' altitude relative to own aircraft.4)Other traffic-An open cyan diamond means non-threat traffic beyond 6nm and 1200' altitude relative to aircraft.Of course alot of these are based on closing speeds and whether individual aircrafts are climbing or descending, anyway lee these are the basics.
