    I have used real wx radars and I can tell you this one works very much like the real thing.

    I have the radar gauge overlaid on the main panel.
    Building this item ,already assembled , but still not interfaced ,however

    How did you solved the diplay ishue in order to eliminate borders and knobes from the screen?
    As well would be nice to see they key combos assighments you using for interfacing

    Thanks in advance for replay

    Re: is the wx radar fully functional in all panels

    I am not sure what you mean by interfaced ?
    I didn't use key combos,, I used the mouse macro feature of FSUIPC to assign the buttons to the Wx Radar software.

    I didn't have to remove the borders or buttons from the screen because there was enough room behind the panel mask to use the whole gauge .

    However ,,if that is a concern,, I did remove the borders from the RealityXp gps by editing the panel config as per the Garsim pdh file. i'm sure that the radar could be edited the same way.

    Re: is the wx radar fully functional in all panels

    Thank you for explanations,
    I mean by interfacing-assighn hardware actions, for software reactions
    I was intended to use the key combos by editing WXR ini file, but thanks to your advice, will consider macros
    As to gauge,undocked and running on additional screen ,will try to use FSpanelstudio for editing

    Regards
    Joseph

    Re: is the wx radar fully functional in all panels

    I used the tutorial on the gps from this site . It was very informative. I used it to set up the RealityXp garmin 430 on my panel. I used the same keystrokes as used in the tutorial, then assigned the interface buttons to the keystrokes via FSUIPC. I also used the panel config numbers mentioned in the tutorial to cut the borders off the gps. Because the radar isn't the same size (or the 430 as compared to the 530 in the tutorial) I backed up the panel.cfg file then started with the new numbers in the tutorial. After experimenting and changing the numbers a bit, I got to a good size for the panel.

    For some reason, the gps would'nt take the mouse macros, or I would have done it that way. however ,the radar took the macros and that is how I assigned those buttons.
    here is a link to the gps tutorial.I'm sure you will find everything you need here to interface the radar to working order.
