September 27, 201114 yr Hi! I just managed to merge the Reality XP weather radar with the EFIS display of PMDG 737. After the merge the weather radar gauges on the PMDG radio stack are brought to life, so one can control the radar on the radio stack.But once the gauge was 'installed', the part of the radio stack where the controls of the weather radar are does not illuminate together with the whole stack. Actually, it does not change colour at all (all other parts of VC change colour - they become darker when closer to the dusk)I assume that all other gauges made by the PMDG have some kind of a special code so that they change colour and illuminate during the night when I turn the cockpit light on.Does someone know is there a way, and if there is how to make this weather radar gauge work properly? I would be realy grateful for help!
September 27, 201114 yr There is a thread about panel illumination problems in the PMDG 737NG Legacy Forum. That merge works by placing some kind of overlay over the Radar section of the radio stack and another over the EFIS display control panels. Perhaps that did not contain all of the lighting hooks that are in the apparently custom lighting code for the PMDG panel. That file is NDWX.gau in your gauges folder I believe and is compiled, not an xml file, so the code can't be looked at too well. It is a collection of several items which overlay the EFIS control WX control button and the radio stack. If you look at the panel.cfg you'll see NDWX!gaugename for each.
