November 29, 20169 yr Greetings, Has anyone ever been able to integrate a Wx Advantage Radar, Roland Radar or the RXP WX500 system into the FSX VC of the B60? If so, could you post the panel.cfg? Many thanks / Les Parson
November 29, 20169 yr 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: 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. 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 PanelWindow01=GPSWindow02=WXR[Window00]file=2D_Help.bmpsize_mm=1024, 95position=6BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0visible=1ident=MAIN_PANEL [Window01]Background_color=0,0,0size_mm=500,366position=7visible=0ident=210window_size= 0.385, 0.385window_pos= 0.243, 0.280gauge00=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 0,0 [Window02]Background_color=16,16,16size_mm=100,150position=2visible=1ident=window_size= 0.098, 2.105window_pos= 0.050, 0.650zorder=4gauge00=RolasnRadar!oRadGauge, 0,0,100,150,sweep|beam|icing|nogps --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [VCockpit01] - - -gauge19=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 2,655,504,364 //gauge19=fs9gps!RAS_gps_500, 1, 607, 502, 416gauge20=RolasnRadar!ORadGauge, 617,740,305,180,sweep|beam|icing|nogps//gauge20=RASDuke!Blank, 0, 0, 1, 1 Full controls: -GPS through the GPS popup (SHIFT+2) -Radar on/off/test and gain with vc clickspots, all controls with popup (SHIFT+3)
November 29, 20169 yr Author Korber, Thank you very much! This has been very helpful. By the way, I searched about 30 Dukes for sale and could not find a single one without weather radar. Thanks again / Les Parson
December 21, 20169 yr Hi Korberthis seems to be a fine solution.I have just restart with fsx after a break of 5 yearsI have the b60 v2 without the radar and not the c117 panelWould the code below be the right way to just install fs9garmin530basler.cab and get a working gps.If so I will search for the c117 ( most links on many sites are circa 2008 and no longer working) A totally different approach! As the B60 can have 2 GPS panels would it be possibleto install the garmin 1000 pfd and mfd instead ( Baron with Garmin 1000 is my current plane of choice)1)copy FS9Garmin530_Basler.cab from the c117 panel folder and paste to the dukepanel folder2)edit the duke panel cfg as follows:-----------------------------------------------------------------[Window Titles]Window00=Main PanelWindow01=GPSWindow02=WXR[Window00]file=2D_Help.bmpsize_mm=1024, 95position=6BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0visible=1ident=MAIN_PANEL [Window01]Background_color=0,0,0size_mm=500,366position=7visible=0ident=210window_size= 0.385, 0.385window_pos= 0.243, 0.280gauge00=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 0,0---------------------------------------------------------------------------//////I take it you leave the other gauges as is[VCockpit01]---gauge19=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 2,655,504,364//gauge19=fs9gps!RAS_gps_500, 1, 607, 502, 416gauge20=RASDuke!Blank, 0, 0, 1, 1Full controls:-GPS through the GPS popup (SHIFT+2)-//Radar on/off/test and gain with vc clickspots, all controls with popup (SHIFT+3)

Thanks!
October 7, 20187 yr Yes, it can be done, but I unfortunately can not help as I do not have the RXP gauges. Read the original thread from the start, maybe someone has found the way
