TCAS range limit

[Jim Coon]

I know this probably has been  beat to death, and I don't want to look through 9,000 posts trying to find my answer, so here it goes.  I set the TCAS range limit to 0, but it still limits to around 20 miles.  I've reinstalled the app several times to ensure it wasn't an install error.  I don't fly multiplayer very often, but when I do it's usually 3 or 4 other pilots, and it would be nice to see them far enough out to know where they are.  I also like doing ATC and knowing is a must.  HELP!  I know  it was ok for a very long time, until I upgraded to the latest version.

 

P.S.  Thanks Pete, I've been a fan of your stuff from the beginning!

The TCAS facilities in FSUIPC are related to AI traffic, not multiplayer. There's no facilities for the detection of multiplayer traffic unless the program injecting those into FSX also inject them into FSUIPC.

For AI the limit would really be around 80 nm if you set 0, as the "bubble" in which they are spawned in is around that radius. You can try setting 80 instead of 0 but I doubt it'll make any difference -- it sounds like it is more something to do with the multiplayer system you are using.
