CLS A330-A340 package: solution for not working TCAS

Recommended Posts

Resently i took advantage of a 50% discount to buy the A330-A340 package. from CLS. Good deal for the price, but i have some trouble with it.

 

For one i have found the solution myself and i posted it here in just in case someone else is looking for it.

The TCAS is working on the A330 but not on the A340.That one turned out to be simply a missing gauge in the panel.cfg for the TCAS logic.

 

Solution.

 

Go to simobjects --> airplanes --> CLS_A340_300 --> panel and make a copy of panel.cfg (just to be save)

open panel.cfg in notepad and scroll to the last entry in [Window00] section, in the original file this is,      gauge39=CLS_A343_FSX!ICON_SC,  22,1047,24,24

on the next line add      gauge40=CLS_FSX_TCAS!dsd_fsx_xml_tcas,  4,41,20,20

or if you fly from the VC

scroll to the last line in the [Vcockpit01]  section. In the original file this is       gauge46=CLS_A343_FSX!Gear Light Nose,  458,412,35,35

on the next line add      gauge47=CLS_FSX_TCAS!dsd_fsx_xml_tcas,  4,41,20,20

save and now the TCAS should be working. Be aware that this TCAS is only a simpel version of a real TCAS, there is no Audible warning and no TCAS resolution advisories.

 

Only tested with FSX, but i think it should work on FS9 if it has the same problem.

 

And maybe i am to hastly, but from the managed modes only the heading seems to work propperly. When i engage speed in MM, it just seems to go the MAX speed (around 300 knots) and with altitude it just reset to 0 feet. Is there someone who got it to work like it should ?
