Weather radar
With the increasing number of third-party radar
add-ons available, we have added 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 with 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 and so on,
depending on the type of gauge you are using.
