Seeing traffic using FMC

[rudeboi0427]

Hello all,

This is my first post ever in an FS forum so if I seem a little newbish, I'm sorry . Anyways, I got the upgraded vc and installed in to the FSX 737-8 and have been slowly figuring out how to use it. My only issue is that I can't seem to get the traffic to show up when I press the TAG button. I searched around for a fix and all I could find is that I may need to sp2 installed. Now, I have the Acceleration already installed. From what I understand, that already comes with the sp2. Am I mistaken? Is there something else I need to do? I have other add-on a/c that use their own type of traffic viewer (ie IRIS's T-6 II) and works just fine. Please help!!!

Cheers,

Justin

Hi
of course if you have Aceleration you already have SP1 and SP2 (just the same way I have too)

there's 4 diferent types of traffic which is Ground traffic and air traffic trains and raod vehicles  and which also BTW my cockpit model has nothing to do with it ;-)

once you start FSX go to settings

and click on the red circle I draw



you will click on that tab




red one is air traffic ,fgreen is general trafic, purple is airport traffic yellow its road vehicles ,blue is boats and recreational boat (I don't know what the hell is that)

hope it helps

Well I understand all that. It's the FMC traffic viewer I am having issues with. Meaning using the FMC, I can't see traffic around me.

The FMC was made by Garrett Smith , its very simple and very basic one ,I never use it, I'm not sure if its capable to show you the traffic

sorry for the misunderstanding I still have trouble sometimes to understand English due that it isn't my native lenguage

It's all good Alex, I understand. Apparently it can see traffic as I have seen others use it as such and they mentioned how to make it work by needing sp2. Well its not that big of a deal. Still love the plane and love using the FMC. Just started understanding the auto land and getting that to work (even though the native ATC does a crappy job of setting you up lol) Thank you again.

Cheers
