Vergil Marquardt 944928 Posted November 7, 2005 at 04:50 PM Posted November 7, 2005 at 04:50 PM HI I have TCAS installed by Lee Hetherington,this seems to be quite complicated to undestand,but I guess I will get it. I would like to know if anyone else has this TCAS,or what TCAS you do have,and if you like it. Thanks Vergil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bevington 814931 Posted November 8, 2005 at 08:05 AM Posted November 8, 2005 at 08:05 AM Which part about Lee's TCAS don't you understand. The readme file included with the gauge should explain most of it. I will be happy to go through it with you. Which product do you have the gauge installed in?

Vergil Marquardt 944928 Posted November 9, 2005 at 12:40 AM Author Posted November 9, 2005 at 12:40 AM Mike Thanks for your reply, I have the tcas installed in my 767-200 plane. Everything seems to be working ok,but I still do not quite understand how to read symbols or exactly where other planes are. Like 8- or 8+ means , When I am flying the vsi on this guage works with my plane. I have guage set at 12 miles or 18 miles,so everything within this circle would be 12 miles or 18 miles ,is this right. The blue symbol is my plane. If you could make it a little plainer for me to understand,would appreciate it. thanks Vergil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris 920567 Posted November 9, 2005 at 03:50 AM Posted November 9, 2005 at 03:50 AM I use the Mark1 Eyeball system. Works great. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bevington 814931 Posted November 9, 2005 at 05:11 AM Posted November 9, 2005 at 05:11 AM The plus and minus signs precede numbers which indicate how many hundred feet above or below you the target is. The blue aircraft symbol is your plane, White targets are proximate traffic, Yellow targets are TAs Traffic Advisory (threats) Red targets are RAs Resolution Advisory (require action to avoid). Download this file- http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=ilh_tcas_v4.zip There is a zip inside with contents you can extract to a folder and view the README.htm file It explains most everything and even has pictures. You most likely already have that on your PC if you installed Lee's gauge youself. Mike Bevington http://vatsim.net/prc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Hetherington 822071 Posted November 10, 2005 at 03:19 PM Posted November 10, 2005 at 03:19 PM Please see my online TCAS docomeentation (http://www.csail.mit.edu/~ilh/fs/ILH_TCAS_doc). This is the same docomeentation contained within the ZIP file that Mike mentioned. I hope this helps explain the TCAS symbology. --Lee Lee Hetherington (KBED) - PP ASEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergil Marquardt 944928 Posted November 11, 2005 at 04:22 PM Author Posted November 11, 2005 at 04:22 PM Mike &Lee thanks for you reply and help,I now have Lee,s instructions on how to use tcas,but I have anorther problem. I have the AIBRIDGE program to use with tcas to red AI traffic,but since I have had this program i have the following problem. When I land plane,half of the plane disappers into runway,I have do not crash checked in fs2002 It must be in the AIbridge program, Have you had any complaints about this from anyone.

Ryan Proctor Posted November 21, 2005 at 10:38 PM Posted November 21, 2005 at 10:38 PM I use Eric Marciano's Radar Guage. It has no voice announcements, but you can see other aircraft up to a 40 mile range. Its easy to install as well into other A/C. I love it.
