f-16

Postby gehubba » Sun Mar 28, 2004 3:11 pm

hi, i installed the viper from simvuation, and the panel from the same place by eric marciano, but i cannot get the radar to work. When the game loads the radar is on and it says his name and copyright detsails, it then does a full revolution and goes blank. can anybody help me with this problem, other than this the plane and panel are excellent, just wish the radar would work.

thank

Hi gehubba,

The radar gauge need FSUIPC to work (the latest version 3.2 to work in FS2004).

Cheers,
Dave

...Well not entirely payware. You can d'load it from Dowson's site.

http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

It will run unregistered and work with add-ons as long as the add-on has a registration key.

I have a problem, i registered F16.gau by putting F16.gau in the first box then the code in the code section (which i copy and pasted) then click the right button and then the confirm button and when i go back to the aircraft the radar still does not work even after restarting the sim.

Dont know Hyvry1-D, know it took me a couple of time due to typo's. Maybe the 'paste' thing is a problem as it would include spaces.

Delete the lines from the .key file(or the whole file as this is your first register) and redo by typing the key..(dont worry bout caps, their automatic)

Here are the lines from my .key file:

[Programs]
f16.gau=DSVTJE5S6DUO

Cheers,
Dave

I tried that and it still does not work.

I have the f16.gau in the gauge folder.  What references are there to the radar relavant stuff in the aircraft.cfg and/or panel.cfg?

I don't know if this will help you.
I have installed the radar in my F14B Tomcat in a new window as it follows in the "panel.cfg":

[Window10]
Background_color=10,10,10
size_mm=150,139
window_size_ratio=1.00  
position=0
visible=0
ident=37
window_size= 0.200, 0.230
window_pos= 0.401, 0.738

gauge00=F16!Radar Range,  0,124,150,15
gauge01=F16!Radar Mode,  0,0,150,15
gauge02=F16!Radar,  0,15,150,109

As you can see, three gauges are needed, the radar itself and two switches to manage the range and the mode.
Happy flight !!

You did download Eric Marciano's F-16 panel that Kirk recommended right? That is the one I am using.

Open your Modules folder in FS9. Look for the FSUIPC Configuration Settings file. Open it with notepad. It was recommended that you make an entry change in there on what is displayed. Look for the TCASid=(whatever is here) entry and change it to read TCASid=Tail. See if your radar will then work.

As long as in your Main Panel [Window00] you have these entries somewhere, then you will be alright. Note: the gauge number does not have to be 23, 24 and 25, just as long as it is listed in the Main panel window which is Window00 for Kirk's Viper.



gauge23=F16!Radar,

Harvey, everything looks good to me. That radar gauge should work for you.

Hmmmm, let me ask you this! Where you getting the message in FS9 about, and I forget the exact wording, an unknown application or something like that and if you wanted to load it up? Did you by any chance select no and if so, was there a check box to check so it wouldn't show you that warning again? I can't remember if there was or not.

I ask because for the life of me I can't see why your radar won't work. Appears you have all you need and have done all that is required. Other than double checking to make sure the correct key is entered. You know the mistakes, 5's for S's and 0 (zeros) for the letter O and visa versa.
