Nick Timm Posted October 20, 2020 at 11:52 PM Posted October 20, 2020 at 11:52 PM Didn't quite know where to post this, hopefully this is ok! Just wondering if anyone else who uses any Carenado aircraft has this problem, or if you are able to see traffic on the aircraft's TCAS? I don't know where to begin, as in I don't know if it's just how Carenado aircraft are setup, or if it's FSUIPC (I only have free version)/SimConnect that isn't allowing it, or maybe something to do with Vpilot. If anyone has any insight or similar experience, I'd love to hear! I can't seem to find any answers online and I did put in a support ticket to Carenado just inquiring with them, but who knows when I'll hear back. Thanks in advance.

Mats Edvin Aaro Posted October 21, 2020 at 12:46 AM Posted October 21, 2020 at 12:46 AM Hmmm, it might be a problem with MSFS SimConnect integration, if I recall correctly this is a known problem. There might be a workaround, but official support is uncertain at the moment..

Ross Carlson Posted October 21, 2020 at 01:54 AM Posted October 21, 2020 at 01:54 AM He's on FSX, not MSFS. Plenty of other aircraft show VATSIM traffic on the TCAS, so I suspect it's a problem with the Carenado aircraft.

Nick Timm Posted October 21, 2020 at 01:59 AM Author Posted October 21, 2020 at 01:59 AM Yeah that was my initial thinking but then I started wondering if my setup was wrong or something. Still don't know. I've messed with every setting I can think of. FSUIPC doesn't give me any real options in the settings with the free version. SimConnect doesn't have an interface at all, or at least I don't understand how to use it. My Vpilot client is set to show traffic up to 100 nm but i can't even see traffic in my direct vicinity on the TCAS. Not sure anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted October 21, 2020 at 02:13 AM Posted October 21, 2020 at 02:13 AM (edited) If you are seeing the traffic in the sim, visually, out the window, but not in TCAS, then it's definitely not a SimConnect problem. AFAIK FSUIPC is not necessary for aircraft to show traffic on their TCAS, so I don't think it's an FSUIPC issue, but I can't be 100% sure. It's a problem with the Carenado TCAS gauge, most likely. You should reach out to them and ask them what is required in order for traffic to appear on their TCAS.

We’ll see what comes of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
