In addition to these files, you can also create your own files using WhazzUp Plus... (see Products Page)
Ctrl-R switches the display ON or OFF (one keystroke) NEW
Ctrl-G switches the various modes (Off, Lines, Grid, Triangles)
Ctrl-H the colour modes (altitude colours, plain green, "delta altitude")
Ctrl-A will enable/disable the 3D display of elevations
Alt-G will select the large, small map
Normally on a slower PC you would use Lines, small map... on a faster one triangles... and then it is a
matter of taste anyway.

Weather Radar
General
Our weather radar handling was implemented quite some time ago, it was first implemented using
WhazzUp.
FS
• the weather generated within FS has nothing to do with WhazzUp, the weather radar in the ND and
what is displayed. If there is major downpour that you set FS sitting in Port-Au-Prince and in real
world the skies are blue, you won't see anything in the ND.
• the main FS folder has to be shared for read and write access
WhazzUp
• it needs an internet connection to download the weather data
• you can run it minimized if you feel it is taking performance away from your computer (it is
confirmed that the nVidia 40.XX beta drivers cause problems with OpenGL on the FS computer)
• you can add the line AskConnect=On to the WhazzUp.INI file, then a message box will come up in
WhazzUp, asking you whether you want to connect and you say "no" - then it will not connect to
VATSIM or IVAO
• it doesn't generate winds, rain etc. for that you still need specialized programs or the FS weather
download option, for the time being
• the NetDir can be empty for the time being
• if the WXR is enabled in the Glass Cockpit, then WhazzUp should be downloading weather data
every 10 minutes or every time the FS reports a position which is more than 500 NM away from the
last download
• WhazzUp needs to be connected to FS in order to inform the Glass Cockpit that it has downloaded
data... for that it has to be either on the FS computer or on a WideClient Computer and you should
see a magenta symbol for the positons of FS in the world map
pmGetweather
• pmGetWeather replaces WhazzUp for the weather bitmap generation
• it is easy to use, you essentially run it on any computer in the network which has internet access
Glass Cockpit weather
• if there is no "weather" in the area you are in, then nothing will be displayed in the ND
• if the WXR text in the ND is barely readable (i.e. grey), that means that either no weather file has
been found or that it isn't valid for the area, i.e. the communication to WhazzUp isn't working
• What you see is a processed infrared sat image, i.e. the lighter the colour, the cooler the weather
system is. Grey would be your run of the mill overcast, blue slightly cooler systems at lower
altitudes going all the way to red which would be tall and very cold clouds, possibly thunderstorms.
Weather All other programs
• yes, the WXR button in the MCPs will activate the weather in the Glass Cockpit
• yes, the CDU/MCDU will allow to set it as well
• yes, an option to display METAR reports has been added to the FMCs

Back-Up
Reasons for backing up
It is important to back up all important files in relation to your simulator or Project Magenta software.
There are certain user files within the program folders that are (or become) user specific, meaning you are
entering information into them that is specific to your system, as such it is highly advisable to develop a
methodical system of back-up for these files.
Typical User files that should be backed up: pfd.ini, cdu.ini, mcp.ini and all files where you have entered
specific information – usually with the file ending .ini or .txt, for example in pmSystems you might have file
like: phidget.txt and flightillusion.txt these txt files hold specific information regarding your set-up, if lost
then you will have to re-define those entries which might lead to simulator / FTD downtime.
Because of the way Windows works, it is possible for some files to be held in the disk cache and if a system
failure happens or a shutdown of a computer whilst a program is still not fully closed then it is also possible
