Hello, I have just started the process of gathering information for building a Boeing 737 cockpit. Due to space constraints I am building a full scale desktop version I will be using Prosim737. I already have a CPFlight MCP and two EFIS modules. I am getting a Flight Deck Solutions CDU. I will be using a Large size monitor for the forward and aft overheads. I need some help regarding the three monitors to be used behind the MIP for the Captain FO and Center Eicas. Everything I have read points to two 18,.5 wide monitors for the Captain and FO dsiplays and a 10.4" for center display. I have seen many pictures on which the monitors protrude below the base of the MIP panel. that is not my case as it is sitting on to of a desk. I do not have much space above as I have switches and displays. I would also like for the center panel to extend to the left in order to use at least the two low standby instrument positions using someof the Prosim wages. Does anybody know what alternatives do I have? Thanks Juan G. Ducaud

Thanks Kyle, I did search, but I probably did not use the right words. I tried virtual cockpit issues, clickable points but did no get any returns. Thanks and Regards Juan G. Ducaud

I am having problems with some of the click points in virtual cockpit. cockpit mode The center button to change to Standard pressure, the Nav switch button and others sometime do not work. It gets fixed by re booting Prepar3D. Does anybody knows what it is due to? Thanks Juan G. Ducaud

Thanks Matt, That was exactly what was happening. I was not disconnecting the autopilot during the autoland and when I turned off to the taxiway, the rudder was ting to get me back to centerline. Thanks so much. Regards Juan G. Ducaud

Hello, I have been flying the B737 for a number of years. First with the PMDG 737 for FS9, Then Ifly B737 NG for FS9 and Prepar3d V2.5 and lately the PMDG 737NG for Prepar3d V3. The planes flies incredible, what a difference from the old FS9 version. One problem that I am having is that right after landing when I am taxing out of the runway and using the pedals. The rudder get a full deflection to the right without input on any of the pedals. The left pedal works and turns the rudder to the center and left, but the off position always comes back to a full right rudder. It only does this right after landing. It I start a new flight, is perfect while taxing for takeoff. The rudder issue is not random, it happens each and every time right after landing. Juan G. Ducaud

I have been installing some AI aircraft and converting FS9 flight plans. They do work fine, however I am experiencing a problem with some of them. Some you can see their liveries from really far away. Some others look completely white until you are right next to them. Does anybody know if this is a graphics configuration issue and how to solve it? Thanks Juan

Hello Glynn, Thanks for your reply. Of course I read the information you are sending me. It would have been virtually impossible for me to get this far without yours and Ray's help. I did miss the reference that Ray sent me on the display issue, I went back and found it. I also have to say that in all my years using flight simulators, you guys are the very best in terms of being receptive,helpful, and also patient. Thanks again Juan

Yeterday, I was able to create the new directory for Radar Contact and Prepar3d. Now I have both versions communicating with FS2004 and Prepar3D. I also downloaded and installed Showtext in the Client machine and I connected it via Wide FS. It works on both versions. I have still a few questions 1. I see the Radar Contact menu both in the server (FS machine ) and also in the Showtext window on the Client PC where RC4.3s installed. 2. The ATC voice comes to the speakers connected to the Client machine. 3. To reply to the ATC menu options (Obtain ATIS, Contact Ground, etc) I have to use the keyboard in the FS machine (Server) (which is very convenient) Is that the way it supposed to work? Is there a way not to show RC4.3 ATC window in the FS server? is that taking processing power from the FS server? Thank you very much for all your help. Regards, Juan

Ok, I was able to create the database. I had to add a couple of lines to the WinClient.Ini: The server name ServerName= xxxxxxxx Protocol=TCP I started the FS in the FS server machine. I open wide FS and connected I open Radar Contact in the Client PC I loaded a flight plan and press Start RC. The plane on the FS Sever moved to the correct airport. Then the Radar Contact small menu opened in the FS Server. I press 2 for ATIS and got the atis message. that is the only option I can hear. If I select to be cleared by GND option 1. the menu changed to option 7 to acknowledge but no message. What could be happening? Also why is the option menu window showing up in the server and not in the client. How can I change that. My other question is how can I download a fresh copy to install the version that will comunixate with Prepar3d? The site only have the option after paying. I already have my serial number. Thanks Juan

Great, Thanks Ray, I appreciate your help. Regards, Juan

Thanks Ray, that is a good idea. My question is where in RC4.3 I input the address of the FS computer to be able to communicate with it. What do I have to include in the path?

Thanks Ray, I have already figured out that I need to separate installations, one for FS2004 and o forPrepar3d. My questions are probably more basic in nature. My current RC4.3 installation is on the same PC as the FS2004 program. Now I have installed a new Fs2004 and a new Prepar3d 2.5 in another PC. I see when I run Wide FS on the RC machine I am able to connect to both sims as it reads "connected in the WideFS sreen. My question is how do I display the RC comunications window in both FS 2004 and Prepar3d .server machine Thanks

I have been using RC4.3 for a very long time with FS2004. I built a new PC to run both FS2004 and Prepar3D 2.5 Since I am trying to maximize FPS I am looking to run as much as I can do via WideFs on my older PC. I have already installed MakeRunways in both FS2004 and P3D. I have the latest FSUIPC versions for both FS2004 and Prepar3d installed and operating fine. I am able to connect in the Client PC with both FS2004 and Prepar3d via WideFs. What do I have to do next? Thanks

I have three monitors connected to two GTX970 cards configured in SLI surround. I also have a fourth monitor added but not part of the three main ones. I use the Ifly 737NG for Prepar3d, and want to use the 4th monitor to display the IFR captain instrument screen. What is he best way to do it? I have done it via undocking the view and dragging the IFR panel with the mouse to the fourth monitor. It works pretty good as long as the main screens are not in "full screen mode" as soon as I put the main screens on that full screen mode, the resolution of the fourth one goes down and it gets blurry. Does anybody know a better way to connect it and avoid this issue? Thanks
