Weather radar

With the increasing amount of third-party radar

add-ons available, we have placed a placeholder

gauge tile in the centre screen of the weather radar

(WXR) unit. The panel CFG file has an entry for a

radar gauge to allow you to install a third-party radar

gauge into this virtual cockpit.

A third-party radar add-on will usually be supplied

with an entry for the panel CFG. We have provided

a placeholder entry which can be replaced with the

entry supplied by the add-on.

This is how the entry currently looks in the CFG:

//--------------------------------------------------------

[Vcockpit11]

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=1024,1024

visible=1

pixel_size=1024,1024

texture=$AH_WXSCREEN

gauge00=vc10_WRxradar!wrxradar, 123,84,769,769

//--------------------------------------------------------

Note:

The gauge we have listed and provided in the

folder is just a placeholder weather map.

Please note the texture file name

$AH_WXSCREEN

.

This is the gauge surface you will use to ‘mount’ your

new gauge.

So, the entry should be edited to:

Gauge00=Source for new gauge! Newgaugename,

xposition,y position,size,size

You should now see your gauge displayed in the

virtual cockpit radar unit. Adjustment will be required

to get the correct size, orientation etc., dependent on

the type of gauge you are using.

I was able to get the gauge to display in the VC but will need to map the controls to my hardware since the knobs in the VC arent tied to anything but at least it's working
