December 23, 201015 yr Hey. I wanna add Lee Hetherington's TCAS to my panel. I know that there is a config with TCAS, but this config is for ISG+TCAS, and I do not own ISG package. So someone has TCAS configuration for the basic SP177 panel?Thanks.

I have installed it on the VC10.vololiberista Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
December 23, 201015 yr Author As far as I know his TCAS will fit any panel. I have installed it on the VC10.vololiberistaYes, its TCAS fits any aircraft, but I wanna know if there is any panel.cfg file for the Tinmouse, to add the TCAS.
December 24, 201015 yr bar,If you look at the panel.cfg for the SP177 you will see that provisions for the TCAS are already in that config. You simply have to remove slashes from one pair of bitmaps, add slashes to another and then add the TCAS Gauge at the end of the gauges list. That's the panel I'm using and it work very well. The instructions at the top of the config file explain the process. You can look at it with notepad.Randy Edit: However, I do have a question for Col Scott. I have Lee's TCAS installed and the gauge appears in the aircraft panel, however, the clickspots in the four corners as mentioned by Lee in his instructions do not work, with one exception. I can left click to the upper left corner to do a TCAS Test and get the proper "TCAS Tests Okay" reponse. I can not continue to left click this hotspot to get XPNDR, TA, or RA to appear and the screen stays at the Test Screen. If I right click this spot the TCAS turns off.None of the other corner hotspots work. Neither does the transponder gauge appear anywhere.Here are the lines from my panel.cfg file://gauge05=B732ADV!vsi, 399, 774, 131, 131 //round dial VVIgauge05=ILH_TCAS!IVSIb, 393,769,142,142, pic:no //VVI/TCAS, requires all "ILH" gauges //NOT compatible with ISG TCAS And here is the gauge logic line:gauge67=ILH_TCAS!Logic,1,5,1,1//gauge67=ILH_TCAS!Logic,0,0,1,1

I managed to add the TCAS! I also added the TCAS's transponder instead of the Tinmouse default transponder.

In my TCAS config, in the Window07 section of the panel.cfg (the upper radio window) I have this line in place of the "stock" TinMouse transponder gauge:gauge01=ILH_TCAS!Transponder, 674, 227, 301, 136, pic:noWithout this gauge active, the TCAS no worky...RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
December 24, 201015 yr Besides the four extreme corner hotspots there are others slightly further in from the corners.vololiberista Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
December 24, 201015 yr The installation documents for TM II 1.3 state that the Lee's TCAS will now work in FSX due to a known bug. Question, what other options are there for adding TCAS to TM II's FSX panel?Thanks,Rich Richard Boll Wichita, KS

Question, what other options are there for adding TCAS to TM II's FSX panel?Thanks,RichYou can use Lee's TCAS gauge in FSX, but if you resize a window or switch between windowed and full-screen mode, it'll CTD immediately.Probably the safest way would be to get into FS in full-screen and then load a mouse config with the ILH gauge configured into it, with the understanding that ALT-Enter will be an instant trip to CTD heaven. In windowed mode, if you accidentally grab a screen edge and re-size the window by so much as one pixel, you're done.As for other FSX options...the ISG glass gauges have the same logic built-in, but that'd require replacing the mechanical HSI with the glass one from ISG, plus adding a control panel. I don't know of any other options.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
