Lee Hetherington's excellent TCAS installation

Featured Replies

Hi guys, It would probably help if the manual was more smooth, but this is just a brief post to ask how exactly the brilliant TCAS gauge by Lee Hetherington should work. I have installed it into Aerosim's excellent L-1011 and I believe my installation is correct, with modules etc in the right places and such, but when I test the gauge, it performs the 'test okay' function, and then the 'test okay' screen remains on for the duration of the flight and does not disappear.Whenever I change altitude, speed, or rate of climb, it does not react. It will only react when I switch it to the 'TCAS off' mode - with the needle moving correctly according to rate of climb, but with no TCAS, this is annoying - I cannot change the modes at all apart from that. :( I have tried several solutions myself, any ideas? :( If you need more info' do not hesitate to ask. Cheers in advance.

Any ideas, any one?I thought, do I need to install the transponder in order to use the VSI fully or is it fine with just the VSI and the hot-spots on the gauge itself?

Does no one have any suggestions? :( Maybe I am being too impatient, how long does it take for the gauge to go to the 'standby' setting?

If you are trying to use it in FSX, it won't work. Other than that, I have no idea since I build my own TCAS systems to order... ;)

Thanks for that, I am using FS9, not FSX - still in the 'dark ages'. :( Should have said. Thanks for the comment anyway. :( Anyone else have any ideas?

Okay,I figured the problem was me. :( I was too impatient when clicking the left mouse button and waiting for the TCAS mode to display, as there is a slight delay. Never mind! :(
