Hi Guys,

 

I am trying to use and implement the plugin with a sector file in the USA (Denver)  i am unable to see any traffic when switching to the SMR radar Screen.  I have vigorously followed the install directions in the wiki.  Reached out to the support their.  They said the issue was user related (which i don't doubt) but refused to help me.  I sent them my ASR file but got no feedback on whether or not that was setup correctly.  If anyone would be willing to help me troubleshoot i would appreciate it.

Cheers

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

there's a "CPDLC Quick Starter Manual" that also touches the correct installation and setup of the vSMR plugin - hopefully this will help you in getting it done. You have to follow it line by line, word by word, every detail counts.

Have you allowed the plugin to draw over the Euroscope screen?

  • In Euroscope, open the Plug-ins Dialogue (Other Set menu)
  • if vSMR is not listed, click on "load" and select vSMR.dll
  • select vSMR from the list of loaded Plug-ins and have a look at the box on the bottom right that is titled "Forbidden to draw on types"
  • select "Standard ES radar screen" and then transfer it to the box on the left (called "Allowed to draw on types") by clicking on the button with the << - icon
  • do the same for "SMR radar display".

Now you can close the Plug-ins Dialogue, save your settings/profile etc.

Can you please take a screenshot? Did you follow all other steps in the CPDLC Quick Starter Manual?

Strange, I just tested it and it worked. Maybe try the URL with https:// ==> https://vats.im/cpdlcquickstartmanual
