Fsx Weather Radar Gauge System
Sep 15, 2015 Radar for General Use with any plane FSX. But Captain Sim offers a weather radar that may be installed in the planes of your choice. It comes with an app that allows you to pick the planes and deals with the panel.cfg updates. If you do a search, look for: radar gauge (not just radar) And maybe select to search the fs2004 gauges section. For the first time a true weather radar is available for Flight Simulator. An animated gauge, it succeeds in interacting dynamically with Flight Simulator weather.
Hi, With ASP4 for P3D4 set to custom weather with heavy rain precipitation literally enveloping the aircraft, the CRJ's onboard weather radar fails to return anything. I've read that perhaps I'm not alone in noting this, and also to maybe not expect the WX returns as often shown by other products when near to inclement weather, so either it's not working or maybe I've missed something.
TCAS returns are also missing, even if TCAS self-tests 'Pass'. Is the ND display behaving as expected in these regards? Thanks, Fabio PS. As a secondary question, is there a way to scroll through the FMC waypoints on the ND the check ones route? For me both work, with the WXR you have to set at least Gain at 2 and then turn the tilt up or down a fair amount depending on if the weather is above or below you.
The TCAS also only seems to work at a certain range on the MFD, IIRC, around 20 and lower. You also need to press the TFC button next to the MFD range knobs. You also can scroll through the waypoints. You use the big knob on the MFD range knob to change to the 'PLN' mode (not sure what it's called, but you'll know it when you see it) and then on the FMS you will use the FMS ADV key to cycle through. Hi, TCAS OK now that I know what to set and look for. However, still nothing at all on the weather radar despite dense rain set as overcast with CB's at my precise position (above, below, ahead, behind).
Whilst I (we) appreciate that realism is the goal, a radar that returns nothing in obviously stormy weather is of little use and probably unrealistic. The attached JPG shows the CRJ700 with active weather radar on full gain and some positive tilt, yet it sees and reports nothing, whereas next to it is a 64-bit ASP4 SDK native weather radar that is showing decent returns. Does the CRJ's WX radar require a sensitivity tweak? Thanks, Fabio. Hi, TCAS OK now that I know what to set and look for.

I use the same native AS16 SDK as the radar gauge that ships with it. However I went with the mid values for standard gain.
It seems to me that I must shift my gain function to the upper 50% of the weather severity data returned by Activesky. It's on my to do list.

Hi, That's greatly appreciated, and I look forward to the update. Do please know that I (we) thoroughly understand the move towards the mid-range WXR values in trying to deliver realism as that too is a worthwhile a goal, and good to have tried. Best wishes, Fabio. I get nothing on the radar, flying in the US.
