Is the stand-alone CS weather radar the same as the ones included in the FSX 727, 757, and 767?  I.E. if I buy any or all of these planes, can I use the included CS weather radar in other FSX planes as well, or would I still need the stand-alone radar for that?

Thanks.  But I'm not so much interested in the appearance, but rather the possibility to use the included weather radars in non-CS aircraft.
Do you know if that's possible, or would I need to get the stand-alone version for that?

Mark you are right. The radar included into our products cannot be used in other aircraft, only standalone version can.

Hmm. Not so sure about that. Copied the CS721 WX into this freeware King Air and looks pretty nice!

Apologies to the management.  Have commented the gauge out and replaced with a GNS530 unit . .

As far as I know you can.

The only VC I have added mine to is the CLS MD-81/82/87. But they provided a place in the VC to put it and included instructions on how to do it. So it was very easy.

For the rest of my aircraft that I have added it to, I just use the 2D Panel.

I don't think you can have it as a transparent overlay on a PFD. It would either be behind it, so you can't see it, or over the top of it, so you can't see the PFD.

it can be done

FS Panel Studio and it was in the selections of my gauges.  I placed the WRX gauge into a virtual display location replacing what was originally there.  I then added the CS WX Radar to my instrument window and it is brought up with shift+6.

I tweaked the Area 51 C-5 with anything that was in my Gauge folder to make it look better.  Combination of Area51, ISG, CRJ, 737, C17, Beach Baron, CLS and CS.  All these years of buying these planes puts alot of gauges on FSX.


Been working on panel upgrades to my CS C-130J variant as well, I have figured out for the most part how to change the VC panel view, and add the gauges namely the ISG EFS50 EADI and EHSI however there is a shadow I need to find that has the location of the original instruments for the lighting to block where light should not be.

Some of them are even FS9 guages

I have had FS Panel Studio and DXTBmp since 2005. I don't have Paint.net though. I have heard about it, but never tried it (at least I don't think I have).

Going back to what you have done, my question was whether the WXR was over the top of a gauge so that when the WXR was turned off, you could see another gauge/instrument beneath it. I'm only asking because NaMcO was talking about placing it over the top of another instrument, so that when the WXR was off, the gauge underneat was visible (the WXR being transparent when turned off).

With most aircraft, it is possible to replace a gauge/instrument. The ones that you can't, are ones that use 3D gauges that are created in the model (MDL file) itself.

I meant the weather graphics showing INSIDE the ND display, just like on the 757 and 767 radars.

Dof, i forgot to quote now my reply is completely misplaced  

Anyway, now i know i cannot add the radar inside the ND and that the radar doesn't have a frame in VC mode, i purchased it  

This is the only thing that's missing in my opinion, a VC frame so we can add it to any other aircraft's VCs. This and the possibility to change the frame's colour so that it fits any panel  *hint* *hint*

I put the CS Weather Radar into the "other" JetStream 4100 Athough I need to use SHIFT+6 to open the WXR to turn it on andto make changes, I do have the display showing on the panel. In the Panel.cfg they have the RXP WxR located there, I just replaced it with the CS WXR display.
