TCAS, or lack of.

Recommended Posts

Guest baw877

Currently flying EGLL-CYYZ with 2 other persons, we are all within 10miles of each other yet we do not have any returns on our TCAS'.Fortunately we can see visually out of the window...is there a problem with the TCAS, I have checked it is switched on correctly and have turned it off and back on again but to no avail.Mick Robinson

As someone from PSS mentioned, it works 100% with AI but they will probably work on one that works online.If my memory serves me correctly.

I do my flying 100% online and the TCAS has worked just fine. I also use FSNAV MP session, and anything shown in FSNAV was shown in the radar too if it was within range.Leo

As a side note Norman, I took my first flight with the new 200LR last night and had three ghost TCAS images with me the whole flight. My AI Traffic is at 90% and I could not get those images to disappear. Two were within 5 miles, one at about 8 miles. No matter the direction turned, they stayed at the same positions, not turning with me (i.e. if #1 was at 1 o'clock and I turned left 90 degrees, it would then be at 4 o'clock).I do wonder though if "AI Smooth 1.12" had anything to do with it or not, as I didn't start that program until I was taxing for takeoff. As you could imagine, with FS running for a good 15 minutes, KDEN was alive with incoming traffic from all directions.-Tom PS> I do all of my flying offline.Tyan 2895, Dual Opteron, 2gb RAM, ATI X800, Audigy 2ZS
