Made a post in the general PMDG section as was advisted to post here instead...I have installed Reality XP's weather radar into the ND of my PMDG 737-700. I also have the Sandel ST3400 TAWS and was wondering if there was a mod to integrate that to the ND as well so the TRN button will work just like the WX button does for overlaying radar. I looked everywhere for this integration and only found that it was being worked on back in '05. Like the WX intigration, the waypoints, etc, show up under the weather radar overlay. Was hoping this could be achieved with the ST3400 as well. I could go the route where the display just sits there like a normal gauge without the bezel on, but this is not what I'm looking for. If all else fails I guess I'll go that route. Right now I have the ST3400 as a pop up activated with a sim icon on the over head. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks!

It was actually said "For future reference" to post your questions in the correct spot is all since this sticky says so, and it will benifit yourself as well as the staff from correcting it later. There is the other point that some people remain loyal (only browse) the section of their owned product and could miss it in general, even though it was titled "Reality XP weather & PMDG 737" or something like that...I just had a look around and know I saw this discussed in another forum (actual been looking for 20+ min) but can't find it. I thought for sure it was in FS Panel Studio or something like that but as I said, can't find it again. Maybe I'll have another look tomorrow...Have you asked the great support people at Reality? (This line was meant to be a joke, as most peops that use their forums will get a chuckle).

No, haven't asked Reality if they knew about it because why would they care? I mean his is a mod for a product using another product. So I don't expect RealityXP to know how to do it. The could look at the code and make it work so the TERR button activates a TAWS overlay in the ND, but that's not really what the ST3400 was meant for. The code though code be used in PMDG's 737 to show terrain and EGPW. Just figured that sense someone with the coding skills made the weather overlay in the ND, (which I have) I figured terrain (EGPWS) could be done too. Especially when I read a post here several years ago that talked about that very thing. Seems the project has been discontinued or something. Just wish I knew C++ and had the coding skills to do it. Oh well... I've searched high and low in Google and FTP search engines for those driver files that talked about doing this, and found nothing. Need to come up with more search terms.

No, haven't asked Reality if they knew about it because why would they care?

Asking them was meant as a joke, or oxymoron if you will. If you were familiar with them it may have cracked a smile :wink:I guess I could say the same thing and say why would PMDG care. If anyone should actually give thought or assistance to such a thing it would be the company that makes the guage that is meant to go into others finished products. Oh, well it really doesn't matter. I'll post the link here if I ever find it again, all I know was it was when I was searching about something (how to type thing) when I got FS Panel Studio.Good luck with the search.

Yeh, why would they care about something they get money from?

Because PMDG is not their product...

What I meant was that why would PMDG or RXP care about helping their users with merges of their products that they earn money from?After all, if both sides supported merges between their products, maybe they would attract even more customers by doing so?For instance, people who wouldn't have bought their products from the beginning, might buy their products because of the option to merge them.Wouldn't that be interesting for both sides, because if it worked out that way, they would earn more money?

I can only speak from what my own experience was with my RXP gauge purchase. First off, PMDG create Airplanes that are meant to fly in FSX & FS9 so they make them accordingly. Addon companies like RXP make gauges, that are meant to be put into other aircraft, however the only thing they outright support is what their gui allows, and that being nothing more than a popup, that's it!Look for some of my posts on their so called support forum! What as a particular idiot mod attempts to call me out and watch what I do to him. He even goes as far as to publicly publish to the forum my email I sent them for a refund that they adertise which they refused to make good on. I go way back with them.At least PMDG have made great strides in accomodating RXP's gauges in the JS41 and possibly even future plains. Is it up to PMDG to do so? Abso-positively-NOT! Should addon manufacturers attempt to work together for the benifit of all of us and themselves, sure. But seriously, if you make a sim with a butt-ton of things that bring your simming to a new level, responcible for a whole hell of a lot more than making weather show a screen (which works like crap), compared to a company that puts out a gauge meant to be installed in others hard work, who do you think should offer support for it? I say the guy that only put out the gauge! They offer nothing, zilch in the pdf docs available (at least at the time of my purchase). They, like you, are idiots to say "Oh you want it in their aircraft, well you better ask them". Like I said, read my posts and attempt to rationally think it thru on who exactly should offer support for it, and who has, and then once you see who has done abosolutely nothing, then look at what support they have offered,,, absolutely nothing.PMDG once mentioned that they might do a wx radar and seeing the competition I would say, have at it! But having two different ones now and lots of time on them realize if you just want to deal with the limitations of the sim then buy the cheaper of the two available, RXP or Captain Sim, I have both and are both the same thing, except CS is about $14 which is about $36 cheaper than the ones that can't spell support.For those interested, look at my other reviews on this forum that I posted about a year ago, complete with screenshots etc... They basically do nothing but say there is rain in every cloud. They read the sky, draw the clouds but in rain format, if you have clumps together they are then colored for severity. Again, look at my actual weather shots compared to what the gauge shows before buying anything. Go cry to RXP, you got more than you deserve here. As I said, at least since they came out with the wx gauge (JS41 release) PMDG has gone far above what they should need to and implement a great/already functional location to have this gauge work. Greatly appreciated, but not at all in what's expected from owning one of their products.So in your outlook your basically saying, if PMDG releases a new product and an addon like say,,, FS2Crew doesn't work with it, it's PMDG's fault or at least they should be the ones to support it. There is 0 difference. Go cry to RXP

I apologize if I sounded like I was attacking PMDG, which was not the case. It was meant as a suggestion or something. I didn't know about that story and it feels great that PMDG does this much for their customers!

I too apologize, Klas. Since that reply wasn't meant to be directed towards yourself in any way, shape or form :)I should have quoted the one I was replying to, my mistake and sorry for the confusion.
