HELP! Prepar3dv4.5 Latest Lear 35 and Wx Advantage Radar problem

Featured Replies

I have just purchased this radar and have the same problem. Doesn’t work in the flysimware Lear 36 or da50 and when brought up in a 2d panel is is just a black square. I’m running p3dV4.5 HF2. I have contacted rex but no response received yet.

Hi Dave,

Have you checked to see if the two wx radar dll files ( MV_WX.dll and MV_WXM.dll ) are in the gauges and modules folders, respectively, as shown above?

Dave,

Then it sounds to me like a WX Radar install problem, especially since you are having the problem with a/c from different developers.  I would look in the Win10 Control Panel Program and Features and see if there is a WX Advantage Radar install entry listed. If not, that really tells you something is wrong. If it is listed and I was having this problem I think I try uninstalling it and then try reinstalling it again.

If that doesn't work, maybe try re-downloading the WX Radar install program just in case the original download was corrupt for some reason.

What version of Prepar3D are you running ?

The wxAdvantage radar is not yet updated by REX for P3DV4.5 HF2. (you will have to wait at least 2 weeks I suppose).

Thanks Gerard.

What's interesting is that I've been using the WX radar with the P3Dv4HF2 client (didn't update the P3D content or scenery) for a while now without a problem, but the WX radar was already installed on my system.  So I wonder if what REX had to fix wrt HF2 was the WX radar installer code rather than the actual operation of the WX radar under P3Dv4HF2?
