X-plane 9 and Radar Contact 4/5

Featured Replies

I saw a post from October 2003 which said that radar contact has been ported to x-plane (7), but a few things were being worked out with Sandy Barbour.As I now fly x-plane, it is of great interest to me.I have tried radar contact with xplane using xpuipc (which is fantastic), but the in sim menus don't work, which means that you can't use it.Any further plans for x-plane? I don't know if it might be easier with the XPUIPC plugin no in existance, but would love to be able to use radar contact with x-plane 9 (and 10 when released).Regards,

I have an i7 PC running Windows 7 x64. The application itself runs fine, I bought it last year for FSX (version 4) and I ran it on my last machine when I first switched over to x-plane to try it out. I don't currently have it installed on this machine (as I have to do the email reg key request).However, IIRC in MSFS you have a menu that pops up 'in-sim' from which you select the various options to contact atc. If this is something handled by FSUIPC on msfs, then this functionality is not yet implemented in XPUIPC, which is a plugin which aims to provide the same interface for x-plane. http://www.tosi-online.de/First.html No Radar Contact menu appears in x-plane, so you can't control radar contact options.Can I get confirmation that Radar Contact only uses FSUIPC to talk to flight simulator? If that is the case, then I know it's just a case of waiting until the XPUIPC dev implements this functionality.Would be awesome to be able to use Radar Contact with x-plane as it would vastly improve my simming experience.

Has anyone made any progress on this, either via XPUIPC being updated or any other means? I have RC4 for FS9 and its wonderful and would love to be able to use it on X Plane 9 as well.
