My isg1!EFS50_TCAS displays an empty window while isg1!HW_B737_ND_NB displays TCAS data properly. I have ISG1_TCAS!Logic defined in the main window but not in the TCAS window. Is the placement of ISG1_TCAS!Logic critical for the TCAS window to function?

Have you turned the TCAS on using the button on the EHSI_CNTR gauge?

I have looked and looked but I can't find the problem. For a test I put together a bare panel.cfg to recreate the problem. The following is a list of that file. Maybe someone here can see the problem. The TCAS window doesn't even have the distance rings, completely empty.

thanks,

Use the 'WN' 5th parameter.

Its blank because by default is designed not to draw any gauge not in the main panel (window00) while the main panel is open.

This is to prevent Virtual cockpit versions of same gauge from drawing when the VC is not open. Thereby keeping your frame rates from dragging down when multiple versions of the same gaueg are open.

The 'WN' 5th parameter tells ISG that version is in a popup window, so draw it when the main window is open. However when the popup window
version is open (via the 'WN' 5th parameter) the main window version of the gauge will go blank, again to minimize the frame rate impact of both gauges displaying at the same time.

The WN, and VC 5th parameters tell ISg whether that instance of the gauge is a window or in the VC, thus it will only draw then when the main panel is not open.

Add the 'WN' parameter as the 5th parameter of your gauge setting and it should work.

See the settings document for more details on how these 5th parameters work.

that worked... thanks
