    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

ARS4 radar gauge in Razbam Prowler

I have just downloaded the gauge, but I don't own the whizbam Prowler. Just to be sure...you want it only as a popup on the screen, but so far it's way too big?

I'll try it in another military jet.
 
Hi MrZippy,yes a pop up would be fine,and yeah,the pop up of it is always too big.I can figure out how to place it permanently in the cockpit later maybe,thanks for the help.:adoration:

OK, this is what it looks like as a popup in the VC of my Alpha F-8 Crusader. Straight installation with no changes.

I've used it in several types, such as Sea Venom, Sea Vixen and Gannet, and it always needed resizing by trial and error. here's what worked with the Venom:

//----------------------ARS---------------------------------

Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=405,485
window_size_ratio=1
visible=0
ident=1125 //Don't change this !


window_pos= 0.0, 0.015
window_size= 0.560,0.560


gauge00=ARS4!ARS_4, 0,0,200,380
gauge01=ARS4!ARS_4_Panel, 0,380,200,80
gauge02=ARS4!TrafficInfo_AI4, 1,1,1,1


//---------------------- Airfuel ARS4 ------------------------

Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=190,240 //Don't change this !
window_size_ratio=0.1
visible=0

window_pos= 0.02, 0.633 //default

Thanks for the help guys,yeah several planes,I've installed the ARS4 into using the included instructions worked right off the bat,and some not so much,but,I will try what you have for the Sea venom dhasdell,and see if that works.
 
Do you only need it in 2D form?, I can probably add the VC numbers from another radar gauge, but I do like the ARS4 lay out.
 
Hey Victory103 those numbers you posted for the Sea venom were the default ones from the ARS4 manual.

Not me on the Sea Venom. I put the gauge in my Raz EA-6B but have not had a chance to check position in sim. Also suggest "kdfw" mods from the library for a more recent Prowler pit.
 
Yeah I have the kdfw mods placed already,and there very good,but whenever you get the ARS4 in the Raz EA-6-b panel please let me know,thanks Victory103 for your work,and time.
 
If that was me you meant on the Venom then maybe they were the originals and worked, but I certainly had to edit them for the Gannet and Swordfish. I remember an oval display needing to be edited to make it circular, and also size and position issues.
 
Oops!my bad,I just realized it was you dhasdell,that posted the Coordinates for the ARS4 fo the Sea venom,sorry about that Victory103,dhasdell if you could please post a few more of your different planes panel configs with the ARS4 installed,I can figure out this snafu.Thanks:encouragement:

I don't have the aircraft loaded at present, and I'm afraid I could only find the Gannet but here are the full entries. Some of the original lines are blanked with //
