This is more or less the help page of OpenRadar. If you don't find answers here, at the install page or in the guide, please ask in the Forum!

FAQ

  • FGCom setup: See installation page!
  • How can I contact the developer?: Send me mails from the fg forum.
  • ATIS wind direction differs from METAR: Yes, spoken is MAGNETIC, written is TRUE. ATIS information always respects the magnetic declination, in OR as reported by US geological society.

Known Issues

  • I can't see all 24 runways on my netbook, there is no scrollbar Sorry guys. but we need space. There is so much to display and tell that you should really consider to use a wider screen! Our target platform is a modern wide screen monitor. If you have two, the better: You can run a flightgear instance with a "camera aircraft" on the other and you add a nice view for ground operations...
  • It is slow!!! If you download new shapefiles for an airport in Europe, you may suffer a really bad performance. Underlying reason: For some weeks the shape file download has been delivering the data for Europe as a whole. So there are many more bytes to download, to load at startup and to move, when you try to move the map. The maintainers of the shape file database know and care about it.
Fixed at Landcode DB: Please delete the slow airport from sectors directory and download it again.
  • Unsupported major.minor version x.y: Your installed Java is too old. Please install at least Java 6
  • METAR support for small airports METAR is available only for big airports. => add property metarSource into data/(airportCode)/sector.properties file and set it to a bigger airport with METAR nearby!

example: metarSource=LFSB

  • MP Map shows airplane symbol This is because the Model "OpenRadar" is not recognized as ATC. Status: Changed in coding. Next rebuild of multiplayer map servers will show it correctly. This one is already updated: http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/
