March 6, 200620 yr Not sure where to post this so I'll try here first. I have purchased Radar Contact and have not really messed with it until this evening. I noticed that I have Active Radar when I loaded a fight. Does this come with RC4 ? Or did it come with some other add-on I purchased ? I know "What did you buy ?" My problem is it's always on top and no way I can find to shrink it. It's really a bother in the VC cockpit. Where can I find some docs on this ?Thanks for any help, Dan K
March 6, 200620 yr Hi Dan,Active Radar has been a part of Active Sky for a number of versions now.By default AR will open with Ctrl/F12. It should not automatically start when you load a flight.You can close AR through the Flights menu or the keystroke combination.You can get to the mini size by clicking on the red triangle in the lower left.You can drag either one around the screen and drop them anywhere.You can un-install AR by removing the activeradar.dll in your Modules folder.Edit: The docs are part of the Active Sky docs.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpg http://www.jdtllc.com/images/rcv4bannersupporter.jpg
March 6, 200620 yr Thanks Jim, That's funny because I don't have ActiveSky. I'll have to look through my add-ons and find out what it came with. I didn't purchase it alone I know that. ummmm LOL Thanks for the info though at least I know how to hide it now.Dan
March 6, 200620 yr Hi,How about Weather Center about 2 years ago? Or maybe it's not called Active Radar?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpg http://www.jdtllc.com/images/rcv4bannersupporter.jpg
March 7, 200620 yr Jim, does Activesky6 install this ? I have that too :)Also, I like it, but it's annoying, kind of like the wife. LOLIf there was a way to shrink it out of the way until I wanted to see it, that would be great. again, kind of like the wife :0Dan
March 7, 200620 yr Hi Dan,Yes it does. Hsve you tried the mini size? I'll make this suggestion: FS04 is very good at remembering keystroke combinations, so what I do is QUICKLY use the Alt/F/A combination. No need to pause after each key or anything. I can do it so that FS doesn't even pause much! We know that AR needs to be worked on in the long term.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky Development TeamActive Sky Proud UserRadar Contact Supporter
March 7, 200620 yr Jim, Thanks once again. Please don't get me wrong, i wasn't really complaining about the mod, I was just saying that in the VC cockpit, which I mainly fly in, it's in the way where ever i move it to. I was able to use the mini screen which helped somewhat. Also, just incase i missed it, are there docs in the ActiveSky manual on the use of active radar ?Thanks, Dan K
March 7, 200620 yr Hi Dan,I didn't take it as a complaint! Wasn't sure if you knew about the mini size. The AR documentation is in the ASV doc. Chapter 4. If you need more help, please visit our forum here at AVSIM a bit down the page!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter
