hello,

I bought this plane yesterday. First I added the CS-weatherradar as described in the manual. In the evening I bought the expansion too. Now the radars were lost because of new written panel.cfg's. I added tem via the CS-manager again. But now there are existing three panel.cfg's per model. One, calles panel.cfg and one for with and one for without fmc. The two last have no entries for the radar, only the panel.cfg. Do I have to copy and alternate the entries manually for the other two files or is there another way to do that?

best regards Kai

Hi Kai,

Please copy and paste the panel.cfg entries for the WXR into the panel_FMC.cfg and panel_noFMC.cfg. These files are used by the configuration tool when a user switches between the FMC or GPS cockpits e.g. panel_FMC.cfg will become panel.cfg if the user selects the FMC option on the configuration tool.

Thanks
Martyn

So this will make it show up in the VC as well?

Hi,

Can you send us a support request (if you haven't already done so) and I'll try and work out what's going wrong?

Thanks
Martyn

Hi

 

I also had an issue with the CS weather radar being a no show in the VC, but I found the answer to my problem was that I use FSPanel Studio for all my panel edits and for some unknown reason FSPanel Studio removed the following line form the [Vcockpit05] section..

 

texture=$M8WXR2

 

and without this entry the gauge will be a no show, the same texture= entry was also deleted from the other two VC cockpit entries for the RXP unit and the ActiveSky Weather map.

 

Now I have no idea as yet why FSPanel Studio does this as I have been using it for years without ever coming across this particular quirk, but it is not really a big enough issue once you know that it does it.

 

I hope it helps.

I'll help you out.

This will be what you will get from this forum. Really pointless to have a forum if you have to put in support tickets for everything. So without further adue...
 
Please provide a trouble ticket.
 
Or another one of the most provided answers here...
 
Please read the manual provided with the product.
 
What a joke...I ask for the same help in the thread called START UP/ RADAR and it gets locked. Due to someone other than myself posting about competitors products. Ive spent way too much money on Just Flight products.. and get zero help without asking to submit a support ticket which takes 2 days to get an answer with each time. How about next time someone purchases something you Just Flight wait 2 days to take out hard earned money. But I doubt that will happen...AngryAngryAngryAngry
