This is probably an old topic somewhere..or a wish list item, but I am flying FS9, using SB4 and a few add on aircraft, but for the most part default stuff when I am soaring around VATSIM. I used FSInn for a while but it didn't really agree w/ my 32bit Vista etc...and sometimes crashed. I love SB4, but no longer have a Radar screen. Is there any freeware out there I can install/mod with SB4 so I can see other aircraft around me. I tried one from flightsim.com but it didn't work well. Let me know and thanks for the help in advance!

 

Thanks

TCAS doesn't neccicarily show every aircraft in your range. Only those near you and airborne (though some show on the ground traffic too)

 

some/correct TCAS simulations won't show aircraft 1 mile away but 20,000ft below you for instance.

 

And if you want to get technical, the FSinn "radar" works more like ADS-B than Radar. But yeh. TCAS might work for your purposes.

Thanks for the help. I know about the TCAS files available out there and they are cool, but I was hoping for something a bit simpler...like a single gauge for radar (simple is fine) which I can simply add to any aircraft I wish (Panel) and [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated gauge file(s), with a icon (like the others for GPS, Map, Comp[Mod - Happy Thoughts], Radio in the default acft) for it alone to bring the radar screen up. I have not seen this anywhere (yet), but have my fingers crossed. I am very limited on my knowledge as far as modding FS goes, but I am willing to bet something like this would be a nice feature without the learning curve (for us weekend warriors).

 

Thanks
