haseen 4 Posted August 3, 2017 Even with wx radar turned on from the control pnl, in the ND WEATHER OFF message shows. Why? Haseen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hans Hartmann [OLD] 1419 Posted August 3, 2017 I just set the mode knob on the WXR panel (center pedestal between the captain's audio panel and the backup radio tuning unit) and it changed from RADAR OFF to WX. The WX/TERR button on the side panel just switches between terrain and weather radar. One more thing: If a EGPWS terrain warning is active, then the MFD will show the terrain map, no matter what you selected. It's locked to that until the terrain warning goes away.

haseen 4 Posted August 4, 2017 Dear Hans: I haven't yet downloaded the v1.0.0.4. Still using the original version. My os: win 7 64 bit, fsx acc. I powered up the plane, aligned IRS. The map shows RADAR OFF even when the wx radar cont. Pnl switch is set to 'wx'/on position. No terrain is present nearby. Any clue? Haseen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjharrall 35 Posted August 4, 2017 I found out today it only works if you have Active Sky Next or Active Sky 16 Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haseen 4 Posted August 4, 2017 Dear gjharral: I don't want to see weather..just want to see Radar Off message goes away and is turned on. Haseen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjharrall 35 Posted August 4, 2017 Switch it to terrain mode then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haseen 4 Posted August 5, 2017 I don't want terrain mode. Is it a fact that the radar won't turn on without Active Sky? Haseen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said before, yes, it doesn't work or switch on without active sky I have always been able to turn the weather radar "on" even with no external weather injection program running (Active Sky). Of course, without the weather injection, there is no possibility of actually seeing any weather display, but it doesn't seem to cause a radar off message. This is with P3DV4 btw.

haseen 4 Posted August 5, 2017 Dear gjharral, JRBarrett: Thanks for being with me. I use fsx acc. and don't have Active Sky. In PMDG, fsl Airbus A320-x and other add-on airplanes, I can turn on weather radar, can't see weather though. I wish to have that kind of feature in AS CRJ. I'll just be able to turn on wx radar. That's it. Thanks. Haseen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathijs Kok 32494 Posted August 5, 2017 But why would you like to activate something that will do nothing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then why can't I turn on WX Radar in FSX Acc? 2. In Aerosoft Airbus A320/319/318, does weather radar turns on? 3. Just to have a psycho benefit that my WX Radar is on. Yes, I would prefer that way.
