January 30, 20188 yr Hey gang, weird problem here. I have tried to figure out what is going on, but I have a MISSING radar bezel in the Moo and Lear in v4.1. There's just a gaping black hole there (keep it clean, fellas, lol). If I use the popup, I can turn on the radar and the screen (where the gaping hole is in my panel) lights up and functions correctly, but I can't see the knobs (do the puns never stop?) or the frame/bezel that should be modeled in the panel. Has anyone got a clue about how to fix that or what may have caused it? Many thanks!

Do you have the latest approved P3Dv4.1 version of the radar (12Dec17 update) from Rex simulations? I don't have P3D, but a friend does and he doesn't have this issue. Al
January 30, 20188 yr I have the latest version of the WX radar and have the "blank" area in the VC of the Moo. Like rightseat, I use the popup to turn on the radar and adjust the settings, but the instrument itself is not visible in the VC. Stew "Different dog, different fleas"
January 31, 20188 yr 5 hours ago, rightseat said: Yup, I just double-checked, and I do have the latest version. Did you have both the latest version of the a/c and the latest version of the WX radar when you did the install into P3Dv4.1? Do you have any other a/c in P3Dv4.1 with a good VC WX install? It might be worth taking a look at the panel.cfg file (I assume P3D has that) where the WX radar is entered. Maybe someone with a good install of the WX radar in the L35A in P3Dv4.1 could post what that panel.cfg file entries looks like for you to compare to. For example, here is what I have for FSX. This is the popup entry: [Window03] ident = 71 visible = 0 sizeable = 1 size_mm = 419,381 position = 0 window_size = 0.343511450381679,0.556719107690809 window_pos = 0,0 gauge00 = MV_WX!WX2D,0,0,419,381,1 gauge01 = MV_WX!WX,64,121,291,205,1 gauge02 = CONTROL_PANEL!clipboard RADAR W4, 80,130,260,170 And this is the VC entry: [Vcockpit37] Background_color = 0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=512,512 texture=$MV_WXM gauge00=MV_WX!WX, 0,0,512,361 gauge01 = CONTROL_PANEL!clipboard RADAR W4, 90,50,330,250 My main L35 Texture texture file also has two entries: MV_WXM_TEXTURE.bmp this includes a bezel image MV_WXM_TEXTURE_NIGHT.bmp Al

January 31, 20188 yr Hi Folks, I'm on v4 - haven't noticed the issue - will double check when I get in this weekend... Regards, Scott

I tried an alternative panel on one of the FlySimWare airplanes and that obscured the switches on the wx gauge. just a thought bob

No, I made no changes that would affect the radar panel in that way. I installed it normally--you just can't see it in the vc. Will take another look, though. Stew "Different dog, different fleas"
February 1, 20188 yr Author 17 hours ago, onebob said: your not by an chance using a alternative panel Texture. bob Yes, I am using alternate textures on both. The Moo alternate interior from FSX and the Darker Gray panel for the lear. You think that's it? I had no issues with the same panel bmps in FSX, but it's a good lead.
February 4, 20188 yr Now that you mention it, yes, I remember installing that alternate panel texture in the Moo now. That's probably the cause. No biggie, I'll stick with this alternate texture--I like it better than the stock version. Stew "Different dog, different fleas"
