They don't necessarily recommend it but it is one of three gauges that they have set it up for.  The other two are Hi Fi's X Gauge, and one other I don't have / remember.  They do make it easy and it is a "feature."  The knobs work and everything, just like in the 2-D panel.  I thought it was a very nice touch.  So Captain Sim might want to update their list to include the other MD80 just released.

Check out the manual zip file.  There is a folder in there.  It is not in the regular manual.

It's possible add the radar into other J41 VC ??, it has the device, but disabled.


Hi, I also understood that I could add the Cs WR to my another company JS41 , its installed ok but won't show up  in the vc. Would appreciate some help if possible. I do understand that its possible to achieve.

Thanks

Hi Harry.

I did it like this...

First. I added the CS Weather Radar using the WXR Editor.

Second. I opened the panel.cfg (FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\other_JS4100\panel) file with windows notepad and edited the following:

[VCockpit02]
size_mm=1024,1024
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$GaugeTwo
background_color=0,0,0

gauge00=j41!other_j41_rmu_1,    0,   0, 393, 500
gauge01=j41!other_j41_rmu_2,  393,   0, 393, 500
gauge02=OTHER_BAe_JS4100_3!GNSXLS,  1, 508, 512, 408
gauge03=j41!other_j41_alt_pic, 896,0,128,508
//gauge04=rxpWX500!RDR,  532, 528, 472, 331
            Commented out this line - in other words I added the // to the beginning of the line
gauge04=WXR!wr_display,  532, 528, 472, 331               Added this line to replace the commented out line above
gauge05=j41!other_j41fms_pu_open, 919,458,53,35

Open the WXR 2D panel, turn it on and the WXR displays in the VC. You need to control it with the 2D WXR panel.
I can get the controls to display in the VC, but the entire gauge show up in the small black screen if I do do it. If I work it out, I'll reply in here how to do it.

Hope this helps.

Mark

EDIT: Here are some images of how it looks.

The 1st image show how it currently looks using te described method.


This 2nd image shows how it looked trying to add the entire WXR in the VC.
