dutchman2 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Is there some secret switch or separate installation protocol that must be done? Please don't say RTFM as there is nothing in the radar section that addresses this. The radar image in mine is basically a bitmap. The curser goes into a hand over the knobs but regardless of right or left mouse button usage on knob - nothing happens. No knob rotation. Tried uninstall / reinstalling once with same results. Also tried setting cold and dark, same result. Same result also with ready to taxi setting. Even waited until airborne with the same result (the gens were up and syc'd - tcas and radios were up fine). Mouse changed but nothing responded to the mouse clicks.

pschlute Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Works normally for me. No special installation required. Have you set up the electrics correctly ? FS9.1 with win7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchman2 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Regardless of how the electronics are set up, the radar knobs should respond to the mouse clicks. There is no reaction to them in my case. All other switches flip or crick as required in both cold and dark and ready to taxi. Its just the radar knobs that don't function. If all the other avionics are functioning, I presume that to be a sign that the radar should have power (at least in the real world - no special radar bus).

pschlute Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Other thing to suggest is that you ensure your AV has not quarantined a file. Where do you have FS9.1 installed on your computer ? Is UAC off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchman2 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 I don't think the AV is the problem, but to check, do you know what is the radar file/gauge name to look for? I still use XP so FS9 is in the default (programs-micro soft games) install location. I presume UAC is an admin function. I don't think its on as I still use XP and haven't had any other signs that there is an admin issue on other add-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschlute Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There appears to be only on RealityXP gauge file in the gauge folder RealityXP_WX500_SE_DF727.gau 361kb file size UAC does not apply to windowsXP so it cannot be a permissions issue. I can't think of anything else to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchman2 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 That's the same gauge I saw in the gauges folder. Even compared the case of the file name to the listing in the panel cfg. Thought maybe a mis-name could be the problem. Thanks for the assist. The Dreamwings / Flight 1 folks need to clean this thing up and get a update or service pack released. Biggest blunder is the SUPERS do not have a # 2 Thrust Revereser. The folks at HJG got it right on theirs and they are freeware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschlute Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The product is very old now and will not have a service pack released for which there is no need. A very few people who had problems with the weather radar solved it with a reinstall. There is clearly something peculiar to your computer which does not like the RealityXP setup. Dreamfleet modelled their Supers on the Valsan conversion which involved engine no.2 having its reversers removed. I think you will find Dreamfleet got it right.

dutchman2 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 That was my point. Exterior model may be correct, but the #2 selects/indicates/spools reverse. You probably have an internet connection. My install was remote, my game pc is a stand alone. That may be the problem. I did do a reinstall, just not the full blown from scratch like an initial purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did do a reinstall, just not the full blown from scratch like an initial purchase. I have never noticed that the number 2 engine can still operate in reverse. My axis for no.2 engine has no reverse assigned to it. Probably a licence issue is causing problems with the radar. If you don't install it using the download from Flight1 the correct registry entries/licence file is not being produced. Have you contacted Flight1 to ask for advice ?

dutchman2 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just to update things a little. I now have a direct internet connection. I have reinstalled the product. Still no functioning radar. Looking over at the radar product website, there appears to be something to do after the install to get a functional radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
