Lee Hetherington's TCAS 2?

Featured Replies

Has anyone looked into putting this very nice TCAS into the TM2?

I think I'm going to try it. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Hello,Here is my edit of the panel with the TCAS.Edit the panel.cfg ("your FS"aircraftfsfsconvpanel.B732ADV)[Window00]...//gauge05=B732ADV!vsi, 399, 774, 134, 131gauge05=ILH_TCAS!IVSI, 389,765,153,153...gauge63=ILH_TCAS!Logic, 0,0,1,1[Window07]...//gauge01=B732ADV!transp, 701, 232, 243, 122gauge01=ILH_TCAS!Transponder, 677,232,300,125You must have the TCAS gauge allready installed !Make a backup of your panel.cfg first !!Have fun!Rapha

Raphael; Very nice.

How did you guys get it to be grey?

>With your permission, I will put this in the>next version as an option in the panel.cfg file.>>Bob Scott>ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300>Santiago de Chilethank you.Of course you can use this small edit, my pleasure ! :-) Regarding the colour of the gauge... I use the one that comeswith the great DC-9 panel from here : http://www.hilmerby.com/I think they have allready made some modification to the LeeHetherington's gauge.I have no idea how to have the blue/black colour withoutinstalling their DC-9 panel... Anyway, it's so great ! :D Best regards, Rapha

You might have a look at this. I have been wanting to change the color of the frame for a LOOOOONNNGGG time. LOL I read this post and was very happy with a little program called "GAUBMP2.EXE" (flightsim.com)HOWEVER.....Lee asked in the below post, NOT to upload ANY of his gauges that you have altered. Only for personal use. "Please do not distribute such a modified gauge without my permission. I don't mind your own personal modification, just the distribution.Lee Hetherington, PP-ASEL (KBED)"In the pic I uploaded above, I am using someone elses bitmap (for my own personal use)My apologies to the author (can't remember who right now)for uploading a screenshot of it, I was just trying to illustrate the possibilities. http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=18059&page=2

Remember that you can use Lee's TCAS gauge WITHOUT the frame, too. This way it might be easier to implement in a panel of your choice (if the panel bitmap already features an "empty" slot for a gauge).The method is explained in detail in Lee's TCAS docs, but for those who don't like manuals (*g*) this can be achieved by adding the letter "b" after the "IVSI" gauge name in your panel.cfg:ILH_TCAS!IVSI -> ILH_TCAS!IVSIbILH_TCAS!IVSI2 -> ILH_TCAS!IVSI2bILH_TCAS!IVSI3 -> ILH_TCAS!IVSI3bThis removes the frame, leaving only the gauge itself. Also, if someone wants to release a modified panel bitmap with a spot for Lee's TCAS gauge, that can be done without violating Lee's request to not publish modified versions of his gauge.I hope this helps!

I have used the gauge, but it seems it is only for fe98 to fs2000. I cannot get it ot work. When I try to substitute a bmp to gau, it creates this weird bitmaps and messes up others. Does nybody have an updated one? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,regards,Macs :)

I have this gauge installed as per Raphouille's edit and the gauge shows up as stated. However I only have the 1 click spot for the test position but none of the other 3 click spots work, although there is the usual indication of an active clickspot at each of the 3 positions.Incidentally the 1 click spot that does work is at the 10 o'clock position if this has any relevance.Whilst I'm writing this let me say that this is the culmination of my hopes for a 737, I've been a keen follower of Se

Yes I have and still get the same reactionThanksPeter:-(
