Wrong topic you're asking your questions. There's a dedicated PMDG forum here and also a subforum dedicated to the NGX.The NGX doesn't have a weather radar nor will it get one (use the search function)TCAS is described in the NGX manual, so please read it first.

I'll move this on over to the correct place for you.

PMDG say that the weather radar cannot be simulated accurately enough to do it. Basically the weather engine only occurs around the 'player' aircraft. There are many, many, many threads on this.The first reply is a good idea, you should try the tutorial flight, but the basic process is, click in the centre of the button controlling the radar range and move the switch over to TA/RA on the centre console near the Squak code.Hope that helps

If you do a search in the forum, there are a few threads that explain how to add a radar if you are so inclined

I'm wondering if an overlay is possible like I did with the Level-D EHSI. I can dig that old mod up if anyone is interested in trying it on the NGX. Basically the radar was displayed correctly under the map, and it looked as if Level-D themselves had done it. Operated by an authentic reproduction of the WXR 2100.As matter of fact, that mod was also available for the old PMDG NG.This one: http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114417

i heard that the VC shot in your link had been photoshopped, and any Wx merge with the LDS 767 was only on the 2D panel.are you saying you have a working EHSI / Wx2100 radar merge in the virtual cockpit and not just for the 2D panels? Edited January 22, 2012 by flyguy172

Like I said, I had the mod myself. No photoshopping, I promise. Worked like a charm.Edit. Damn, I think you're right. What add on am I thinking of then? Edited January 22, 2012 by ZachLW

Look through the thread, there are instructions for both 2D and the VC

I'm wondering if the OP was referring to the 'terrain' button? Maybe this is the display he was asking about?
