Title: Radar Question.
Post by Lost in Isaan on Jul 19th, 2013 at 11:57pm
Can't find anything in the manuals other than a simple layout on page 129! How do I get it into Terrain Mode? Weather works OK, the Tilt and Gain functions seem to be OK as well but if I select WX+T or MAP I get nothing. Both modes are displayed as selected along with the tilt setting.

Thanks for any help.

PS. I noticed we have no GAIN control on the freighter :-/

I'm still stuck on trying to figure out how to use the WXR. I'm fairly new to the CS weather radar :-/
As for the terrain radar all I did was press TERR and it came on. I think CS needs to do more tutorials on systems like these.

We know the manuals are still being finalized so I expect deficiencies.

Thanks for the pointer missed the TERR button on the EFIS Panel. Olde age!  :-?

So I will revise my question:- What do the remaining radar control modes actually do?

GAIN Control
Rotate inner knob – Sets receiver sensitivity in WX, WX+T, and MAP modes • 12 o’clock detent – auto gain (no gain indication on lower left side of MAP display).
• Full counter clockwise – minimum manual gain (VAR displayed on lower left side of MAP display).
• Full clockwise – maximum manual gain (VAR displayed on lower left side of MAP display)

Thank you Mark but that was not the question. What do the TFR, WX+T (other than weather), MAP and GCS buttons do? Other than an the mode display in blue on the ND (WX+T and MAP with Tilt) I don't see any sort of display.

I assume:-
TFR = Terrain Following Radar
WX+T = Weather plus Terrain
MAP = What it says
GCS = Got no Idea
VAR = Variable Gain Mode

Do you have the GAIN knobs on the Freighter?

No, my 777 Freighter doesn't have the GAIN knobs either. :(
