OK. I got it working.

Try it in the Cockpit (default keyboard shortcut is F10), it works fine there, but it DOES NOT work in the Virtual Cockpit.

Hope this helps.

Tanya is right.

You can change the size of the green circle using Ctrl+Shft+9 to make it smaller and Ctrl+Shft+0 to make it larger.

But the red and green circles don't overlap, causing gun and missle shots to fire way to high above the horizontal flight line!

And I see no way to make them overlap.

The FA18 that CS has setup and automatically installs with their program works right - the circles overlap. This delivers correct shooting height!

This must be fixed...because you have to take very steep dives to hit targets. You can't attack low because of this.  Undecided

Hi Robert.

Try calibrating it in the 2D Cockpit (F10) and not in the Virtual Cockpit. I originally had this problem, but it was because I was trying to calibrate it in the VC and not the 2D Cockpit.

Hi Mark,

I actually have the same problem: no red circle showing in the calibration process (I do step by step what the manual says), neither in VC nor 2D.

OK...I can change the diameter of the green circle using Ctrl+Shft+9 (bigger) or Ctrl+Sfht+0 (smaller).

But the problem is, I can't move the green circle up to the red circle to overlap them. The red circle is far above the green circle on the hud - causing all weapons to fire way to high!!

How do I get the red circle lower to shoot farther down?

Hi Tanya.

After reading your post about a newer version of the manual, I went and downloaded it (8th February, 2011). It turned out to be the same one that I originally downloaded on the 5th February, 2011. Both have the date as: VERSION: 03 FEBUARY, 2011

In the ‘Weapon for FSX’ - User’s Manual, page 11 it has the following:
1. Make sure aircraft is on the ground, speed=0.
2. Call 2D HUD panels (Shift+number)
3. Set any zoom (HUD scale) you like using + and – keys.
4. Press Ctrl + Shift + 9 or Ctrl + Shift + 0
5. Red calibration circle appears
6. Using Ctrl + 9 or Ctrl + 0 resize GREEN circle to match the red calibration circle
7. Red calibration circle automatically disappears in 2 sec


And yet in the ‘Weapon for FSX’ - User’s Manual, on page 8 it has this:
5. HUD Mode Selector Switch Ctrl+9
6. Radar Range Selector Switch Ctrl+0


There is a conflict in which the pressing of CTRL+9 and CTRL+0 with the resulting action being that written on page 8 of the manual, not page 11.
I decided to download the manual again, just now (9th February, 2011). It is the same VERSION: 03 FEBUARY, 2011 and the instructions on page 8 and 11 are exactly the same (identical) as the previous two manuals I download.

Mark

Note. The dates are taken from the day I downloaded them on my computer in AEDT.

Weapon Panel and HUD Issues & Controller Issue
Reply #23 - Feb 9th, 2011 at 4:56am

Hello!

I just want to say an INTERESTING product - VERY INTERESTING.  And that's in a good way!  Smiley

I just have some questions and accompanying screen shots that I am hoping someone can help me with.

I am having issues with your Hud and Display Glass for the Hud in FSX.  This is running with 3rd party aircraft such as another company's F16.

For example, I installed Weapon For FSX and basically that went smooth. I had to however manually edit panel .cfgs for the windows to show up - the weapons control, and the hud.  

When I bring up the glass, I get all black around it, see accompanying shot:

The aircraft also only has a VC....

The Hud Displayed with Glass around it....


And I noticed that the HUD alone just moves around with the pilots view point - is that normal?

Also, when firing a weapon, Button 1 on the joystick is NOT recognized. I'm using the Satiek Yoke.

Any help GREATLY appreciated....thanks again Captain Sim for coming up with such a unique product.

System is Windows Vista Service Packs 1/2 and FSX Gold Edition.  2.88ghz Dual Core and 3 gigs of RAM with 1 gig MSI Graphic Card.

John

Sorry, we do not support manual edits. There are thousands of places where you'd make a mistake. We'd just recommend to read SDK carefully.

If a SPACE bar works (fires) then the issue is between the joystick and your PC.

Overlapping red circle with green circle

Has anyone found out how you move the red circle down to make it overlap the green circle?

...because all weapons shoot to high!  Undecided

The only plane that has a correct overlapping calibration is the FA18 which CS automatically installs with their program.

Most likely the Weapon is not installed properly to the third-party aircraft. Please see SDK.

Okay -

Got it working, but can show the HUD in the VC on the another company F16, however it moves when I look around?  Is there anyway to correct this, please?  I also got the glass showing after a install/reinstall and had to delete the FSX .cfg.  It rebuilt it, and asked about the trusted software. 

Maybe that was the issue?  I'll have to give tests now about weapons firing.

But what do I do with the VC and the HUD?  I would really appreciate guidance on that, other than the SDK - I am understanding on the cfg and what needs to be changed, so any help would be appreciated.

I have to say something as well!

Then to see it basically as 2D and not VC also sucks.


Pless cycle S to get into VC.  Wink
Well I, gotta be missing something big time here. If that is not 2D in the VC window what is it?

On your screenshot I see both, the VC HUD, and 2D HUD. I'm not sure why you need them both at the same time? Smiley
I'd press Shift+2 to switch the 2D copy off.
