X-Plane TCAS

Post by dg1234uk »

Hi all,

I know this has been discussed a number of times but I just can't seem to get the TCAS in X-Plane to show other aircraft whilst flying on PE.

I go to Aircraft and Situations in the X-Plane menu and select the number of aircraft I want to be displayed on my TCAS + 1 but nothing seems to happen. Is this correct?

Do the drone aircraft appear on the TCAS (i.e. are the squawking Mode C?).

Also does selecting a high number of aircraft to be shown on the TCAS have any significant affect on frame rates?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

They will show up on TCAS if they are within +/- 3000ft and if they are squawking Mode C. Yes, the drones squawk correctly based on the phase of flight.

It's been a while since I've flown an aircraft which had a traffic display, but last time I did, it was functional.
