TCAS/Radar problems

Postby maulepilot117 » Tue Jan 31, 2006 11:54 am

hey y'all,
Ive been flyin Kirk Olsen's F-16 for a while now but one thing about the panel has always bugged me, the TCAS.  Its great that he incorporated the TCAS into the panel, but I can never get mine to work (show a/c and the like).  Do you guys have any ideas as to how to fix this annoyance? ???

Thanks,
maule

It worked perfectly in FS2002, though it doesn't seem to work in FS2004.

Once you get it set up correctly, It works just fine in FS9

First of all, you need to have FSUIPC installed in the flightsim.
Second, you need to go into your modules directory, open up the 'FSUIPC.key' file with notepad, and under "[programs]", copy "F16.gau=DSVTJE5S6DUO".
Save it, load FS, and it should work ;)

Try creating a text file, and renaming it 'FSUIPC.key'.
Next, copy over this text into it, and save it.
