haseen 5 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Even with wx radar turned on from the control pnl, in the ND WEATHER OFF message shows. Why? Haseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Hartmann [OLD] 1419 Posted August 3, 2017 Share 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 5 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share 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.

gjharrall 35 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I found out today it only works if you have Active Sky Next or Active Sky 16 Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjharrall 35 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Switch it to terrain mode then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haseen 5 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 5 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 5, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted August 5, 2017 But why would you like to activate something that will do nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haseen 5 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Dear Mathijs: Thank you so much for replying and for making the CRJ, a very very nice airplane!

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.
