hello,

I use the 757 X from the beginning and with every SP it's improved more and more, congratulations CS!
Now I have two issues: 1. if I start the weather radar (power on, in VC), the rainbow is to be seen in the ND. But it doesn't disappear. I was waiting about 5 minutes but still it was there. I don't dislike rainbows, but not in the radar .
2. Everytime I fly from YMHB to YMML,if I am near Melbourne at about 10000ft or similar the FS crashes to Desktop. Everytime. I tried it about ten times, no matter which runway I want to land. First I thought of FTX AU blue or YMML. But they don't seem to be the reason. If I try, eg the LDS767, the landing is done perfectly. If I come from YSSY or YPAD eg it works with the CS too. Only from Hobart to Melbourne it crashes. Perhaps someone of you has got AU Blue and YMML too and could try to reproduce this for me? It lasts only about an hour.The plan is YMHB 30, sid karen4, j163 hb, w295 lt, h215 won, star waren9 ymml. The waypoint HB I delete because its lead back to the airport unnessessary.


with regards

Kai

hello Schmid,

no, I didn't left the testbutton on, I turned it off (LED out). It makes no difference. Is there a difference to you in behavior?

I use the airac coming with the 4.3 and I thought this would be a good one. The newest one it isn't I believe; its from April to May. It would be helpful if someone could make this leg on his own even if to see what happens.

regards Kai

hello Schmid

do you make it on and test in the 2D or VC?

l bought the latest airaac yesterday and later today I'll try the leg again.

Kai.

I don't use very much WX radar as it usually demands lots of frame rates. Anyway, when I do it, I usually run 2D. I'll try it with VC and report back.

Are you running FSX + SP1 + SP2?
What OS? XP - Vista 32 - Vista 64?

Maybe you have to consider opening a ticket on CS support about both threads.

Regards

Schmid

hello Schmid,

I found out the reasons for both problems: there seems to be problems in conjunction with ASA. A flight with the native FSX-engine only was very successful. With radar and without crash. The idea came after reading the other thread about weatherradar here. Now I have to learn to use the REX-engine perhaps.

regards Kai

I have no trouble using the CS radar with REX.  Also, I see no frame rate reduction when using the Wx radar compared to not using it.  When using a well known payware 737 that has this feature, using he Wx radar came with quite a performance price.  Not this CS 757.  SO I turn it on and leave it on.  Every once in a while I play with he gain and angle settings for the heck of it.  Saw wind shear for the first time today.

Still...realize that no weather radar simulator for FSX is really that good or accurate as it does not appear possible to properly model this function yet in FS. So....mostly eye candy for the most part.

I have to study the manual for REX-using. First I have to start REX, then the FSX, then the okay-button in REX... . And what about flightplans? Are they mandatory and their saving too? The heaviest problem for me as a German: I have to change the properties in decimal-settings from German to US. So some signs will be changed then (dot etc.) So I don't know how it goes eg. in excel then and other programs.
