Have you achieved to add the radar into the FSW LJ35A? Im not sure how to modify the panel.CFG because there is no installed radar, just the unusable Milviz WX thingy (no entries because is not compatible with P3DV5.3HF2).



Thanks...

You could use the relevant bits from panel.cfg. You need a Windows entry followed by a new section further down to give you a 2D popup. The radar gauge works very well. You need to put Roland’s gauge in the /gauge folder of course.

Hello, thank you....

I try, but i cant put the correct lines where it should be. I added the Window and VC entries but does nothing in the simulator. I managed to achieve the default WX radar lines in the panel CFG and started modifying the file like this:

Window03=WX Advantage Radar

[Window03]
ident = 71
visible = 0
sizeable = 1
size_mm = 419,381
position = 0
window_size = 0.343511450381679,0.556719107690809
window_pos = 0,0
gauge00 = RolasnRadar!ORadGauge,0,0,419,381,1
gauge01 = RolasnRadar!ORadGauge,64,121,291,205,1
gauge02 = CONTROL_PANEL!clipboard RADAR, 9,81,400,300

[Vcockpit33]
Background_color = 0,0,0
size_mm=512,512
visible=0
pixel_size=512,512
texture=$MV_WXM
gauge00=RolasnRadar!ORadGauge, 0,0,512,361
gauge01 = RolasnRadar!ORadGauge, 9,81,400,300


I just changed wherever there was a WX gauge and added Rolands.... But is not working yet (BTW i dont know why there are two lines in the last section, not sure if needed for instance).

Thanks for support...

Raphael,

Comment out all existing entries for Vcockpit33. I couldn't get the gauge to work in a Virtual Cockpit.

I added only a few lines to my existing panel.cfg. Firstly, a new entry in [Window Titles]. Look at the number of the last entry and increment it by one. Yours looks like it should be Window 04 if you have an existing Window 03 section. I added this...

Window02=Roland Wx Radar

Then create a new [Window 02] section and add this entry...

[Window02]
size_mm=500,500
zorder=4
gauge00=RolasnRadar!ShellRadGauge, 0,0,,, sweep|beam|icing|nogps

Save and when you press Shift+3 or maybe Shift+4 the gauge will show. The symbols on the control buttons don't change but it does work.
