Kenneth Birdsong Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have installed a weather radar program and when I open the window for it on my sim the window is black. Everything indicates that it was installed properly and the files are there, but just a black window. Any thoughts? K 2the B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Are the gauge files for it in your Main Gauges folder or at least in your aircraft's panel folder? Was this a freeware or payware product?

tiger1962 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The one I have (payware) has to be switched on first. From memory the knob positions are Off, Test, Stby, On. You have to keep right-clicking to get to On, and left-clicking to get to Off. Is there a ReadMe file or manual with yours? Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Kenneth Birdsong Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 The term gauges may be wrong, the radar has its own window and everything indicates that it was installed correctly and when I go to views it shows up in the view selection but when I select it, the window comes up but completely black. No radar bevel or screen. K 2the B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No radar bevel or screen. OK, one last time! There needs to be a gauge that the Sim can show otherwise it will show a black rectangle. Is this radar something I can download for free and test???? If this is a payware product, I wll suggest you contact who you bought it from. As an example I "borrowed" a very nice GPS from the C-47 version2 aircraft and am now using it in my POSKY Southwest 737. Below is the panel.cfg entry. [Window02] size_mm=512,512 //456,378 window_size=0.5 position=8 BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0 VISIBLE=0 ident=GPS_PANEL gauge00=FS9Garmin530_Basler!GNS530_nc1, 0,0, 500,366 //KRON_fs9gps!gps_500WX, 0,0 The .cab file for this GPS is sitting in my panel folder so it can be used in this aircraft.
