WX radar weather and map missing

Post by gert57 » Thu Dec 14, 2017 8:21 pm

Hi all from Milviz

I Use FSX-A on a win7 machine.
I have searched this forum.
All the redistributables seem to be present.
I can move the knobs. Test functions well.
But I observe no return while flying through rain.
Nor do I see a map.
Sensitivity to auto, radar tilted up and down.
I hope somebody can help
I enclose the screenshot from the wx dll

Overwrite the MV_WX.dlls in your panel folders with this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tzjedwhauj819 ... A.zip?dl=0

Hi JB,

thanks for the reply.
I installed the new dll.
The radar now detects and displays the rain.
I havent tried the map overlay yet; will report back when done.
Thanks for the fix!!

Hi JB,
It seems I can't get the map overlay to work
Or is that not implemented in this version of the radar?

sincerely yours,

Map mode only increases the radar beam width so you would get a broader area covered. It still provides the same returns that you would get in WX mode. You have to move the tilt downwards to see terrain on the radar.
