Another radar gauge for VC & Window usage

[flytriman 22]

Great gauge Roland.  Put it in the Just Flight DC-8-21 and seems to work great.  Have not flown yet but testing on the ground.

 

Below is my Panel.cfg for the aircraft if anyone else wants to do:

 

[Vcockpit11]

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=1024,1024

visible=1

pixel_size=1024,1024

texture=$AH_WXR

 

//gauge00=dc8_WRxradar!wrxradar,  123,84,769,769

gauge00=RolasnRadar!ORadGauge,  200,140,675,650, sweep|beam|icing|starton

 

Had to fuss with the size and placement for quite awhile to get it to fit.  Of course the knobs on the Just Flight dummy radar don't work but all the hot spots on Roland's Radar work as designed.

 

Thanks again Roland.

Put gauge in the Captain Sim 707-300 per post #357 from Warbirds.  Fits and displays fine but can not make any adjustments to the range, tilt, gain, mode.  No hot spots on the gauge and the Captain Sim knobs do nothing to this gauge.

 

Any ideas how to get the hot spots to work?

 

Thanks,

Thanks Roland for your awesome free gauge!

 

I thought I'd post what I worked out for the Quality Wings Avro/146:

 

If you want the gauge to appear within the dummy GPS shell in the VC:

gaugexx=RolasnRadar!ORadGauge,470,513,298,215, sweep|beam|icing|starton

And if you want to use the shell that Roland supplied with the gauge you do this:

gaugexx=RolasnRadar!ShellRadGauge, 442,482,395,327, sweep|beam|icing|starton

I have found that I have to have the Fwd Console and Aft Console lights (on the pedestal) turned ON for the controls to work for either configuration.

Hi Paul.  Thanks for the info on putting the gauge in the CS L1011 and the 707 and 727!

 

For some reason, the mouse-over spots are not working for me in either the L1011 or the 707.  They work fine in the 727 (all variants, -100, -100F, -200, -200F).   The radar itself is fine in the L1011 and 707, just doesn't  seem to be a way to turn on/off or adjust.

 

Can you confirm if the clickspots work for you in the L1011 and 707?

[vgbaron 3,627]

This works fine in the CaptainSim 737 too.

besides above, the milviz default gps should be commented out if using the rxp gns530.  a small panel state gauge can be added to automatically select this panel setup, i'll need to upload it to sim outhouse.

I'm very happy to confirm that my radar gauge is working well with Active Sky 2016

 

Thanks to HiFi to keep the API alive!

This is how to install radar to RAS Duke V2 without realityXP gps gauges. It is a bit complex as the gps panels of the duke are part of the 3d model. This makes any gauge installed over the gps panels to loose all or some of the click spots, so a popup gauge must be installed in order to control the vc gauge.

Ensure that you did a backup before you edit any file.

 

Here we go:

1.Open the .../RealAir Duke B60 v2/panel/config folder and edit the options.xml file with a text editor, change the 0 entry below from 0 to 20:

 

<Element>
        <Select>
            <Value>(G:Var1) 0 == if{ 20 (>L:dukeRadioConfig,number) }</Value>
        </Select>
    </Element>  

 

This will change the panel configuration to 2 GPS units for Rxp gps.

 

Radar gauge installs over rh gps the usual way, but now we have more problems:

-there is no nav/com freq select panel,

-default gps cannot set nav/com freq, must be replaced or install a popup nav/com panel

-default gps popup is not synchronized with the vc gps, that means what you choose to display on the popup gps it is not displayed on the vc.(default vc gps cannot be controlled by the 3d switches as these are set for the RealityXP GPS)

-the nav/gps switch is missing

 

 

Solution:Replace the default gps with the gns530 from the freeware Douglas C117v2 by Manfred Jahn, (You can download the C117 from the simouthouse library)

 

 

1)copy FS9Garmin530_Basler.cab from the c117 panel folder and paste to the duke panel folder

2)edit the duke panel cfg as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=GPS
Window02=WXR


[Window00]
file=2D_Help.bmp
size_mm=1024, 95

BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
visible=1

[Window01]

window_size= 0.385, 0.385

BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
VISIBLE=0

gauge00=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 0,0

    
[Window02]
size_mm=100,150
position=2
visible=1
Window_pos=0.05,0.65
zorder=4
background_color=16,16,16
gauge00=RolasnRadar!oRadGauge, 0,0,100,150, sweep|beam|icing|nogps

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[VCockpit01]

gauge19=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 20, 660, 470, 350

//gauge19=fs9gps!RAS_gps_500, 1, 607, 502, 416
gauge20=RolasnRadar!ORadGauge, 617, 740, 305, 180, sweep|beam|icing|nogps
//gauge20=RASDuke!Blank, 0, 0, 1, 1

 

 

3)Set a key in fsx for "Nav1/GPS toggle".

 

The result:

 

 

Controls:

-GPS and nav/com freq through the GPS popup (SHIFT+2)

-Radar on/off/test and gain with vc clickspots, all controls with popup (SHIFT+3)

-Nav/GPS toggle with assigned key

[roland_lfor 245]

Wow, the most complex integration I've seen so far!

Congratulation

I'm quite surprised it works as the ASN/AS16 API can not normally handles 2 simultaneous clients, the VC + Popup.

 

Is the popup display correct?

[kdfw__ 542]

I did the original RA tduke v1 wxr integration with rxp gps and it requires 2d pop up to use all 4 click spots. The 2d gauge display becomes all gray but click spots work to operate wx gauge in 3D panel.

Good to know thanks!

Is it working with AS16+ASCA in P3D???

I want to integrate it with Duke v2+GTN750

 

I test it myself and it working. Thank you very much bro!

[roland_lfor 245]

Sure it works fine with AS16 & ASCA :smile:

However ASCA has no relationship with that, only AS16 engine

Hey Roland!

 

Its a great gauge you've created, thank you a lot for that. One question: in the first post (0.5) you wrote about a Windows standalone option – is this still available and if it is can it be used over a local network? I have a separate PC which runs my FS hardware and also some 3rd party applications and I would like to have your radar run on this machine with a dedicated monitor too, so I have a hardware Wx radar at my disposal.

 

Anyway great work, looking forward to hearing from you!
