n4gix Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Continuing from the previous post regarding , we can add a "Traffic" display to the G500 quite easily as well*: *Note: This modification will only work with FSX + SP2 or + Acceleration installed!

Note that I've used the entry 0x05 in the example above, which means "Airborne vehicles + Track line." This eliminates all "Ground vehicles" since we normally don't have to worry about parked aircraft getting in our way... :) Bill Leaming http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Combat/0054.gif Gauge Programming - 3d Modeling Military Visualizations Flightsim.com Panels & Gauges Forum Moderator Flightsim Rig: Intel Core i7-2600K - 8GB DDR3 1333 - EVGA GTX770 4GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium Development Rig1: Intel Core i7-3770k - 16GB DDR3 - Dual Radeon HD7770 SLI 1GB - Win7 64bit Professional Development Rig2: Intel Core i7-860 - 8GB DDR3 Corsair - GeForce GTS240 1GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium NOTE: Unless explicitly stated in the post, everything written by my hand is MY opinion.

opaplano Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Would you please clarify - is this for FSX with Acceleration only or can it work with FSX Ser Pak 1 only as an example? Thanks in advance. :) David "Opa" Marshall :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. FSX only for certain. I can only test using SP2/Acceleration, as I don't have any SP1 installation any longer. Someone with only SP1 installed will have to test and verify... ;) Bill Leaming http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Combat/0054.gif Gauge Programming - 3d Modeling Military Visualizations Flightsim.com Panels & Gauges Forum Moderator Flightsim Rig: Intel Core i7-2600K - 8GB DDR3 1333 - EVGA GTX770 4GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium Development Rig1: Intel Core i7-3770k - 16GB DDR3 - Dual Radeon HD7770 SLI 1GB - Win7 64bit Professional Development Rig2: Intel Core i7-860 - 8GB DDR3 Corsair - GeForce GTS240 1GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium NOTE: Unless explicitly stated in the post, everything written by my hand is MY opinion.

Check your addon's ..\panel folder to make certain that it really IS using the default fs9gps.cab file. Putting it another way, it simply is not possible for it to not work, providing it really is the same gauge... :D Bill Leaming http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Combat/0054.gif Gauge Programming - 3d Modeling Military Visualizations Flightsim.com Panels & Gauges Forum Moderator Flightsim Rig: Intel Core i7-2600K - 8GB DDR3 1333 - EVGA GTX770 4GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium Development Rig1: Intel Core i7-3770k - 16GB DDR3 - Dual Radeon HD7770 SLI 1GB - Win7 64bit Professional Development Rig2: Intel Core i7-860 - 8GB DDR3 Corsair - GeForce GTS240 1GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium NOTE: Unless explicitly stated in the post, everything written by my hand is MY opinion.

andyjohnston Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm using SP1, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I know it's using the right gauge because I created a whole new folder and extracted the files into it, then pointed the panel.cfg to the folder name. Spent way too much time using these sims...

I don't have an "SP1" version of FSX around, so I can't test... You did close the sim and reload it after the change, yes?

n4gix Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 The sim has been reloaded a few times but it always looks the same. Then I think it safe to conclude that the feature was "fixed" as part of the SP2 update.
