![]() The program crawls through your X-Plane scenery configuration to create a data file called r4.csv, used by Radar Contact to identify the airports/runways around the planet. ![]() There are a couple caveats for making RC4 work with XP12, however.įirst, Makerwys for X-Plane was last updated in 2016 and the author appears to have left the hobby. If you're already using an older version, you'll want to download the new one from your account page at SimMarket before trying to use it with XP12. FS++ recently re-compiled the program with the new XPLM libraries for X-Plane 12. You'll also need a ~$20 add-on made by FS++ (the makers of Multicrew Experience) called RC4toXPlane, which enables the RC4 menus to work inside a window in X-Plane. In addition, you'll need a utility called Makerwys for XPlane (V1.2, or later if a new version emerges). To run it with X-Plane (11 or 12) you'll need to track down a copy of XPUIPC v2.0.5.9-this freeware utility emulates a subset of the IPC interface of the popular FSUIPC program used with the ESP sims. We also have a dedicated user-to-user support forum here on the AVSIM forums. The RC4 program and a key generator for it are available from the AVSIM library. In conjunction with a couple of utilities, RC4 does run with X-Plane 11 (I use it with XP 11.55r) and, as luck would have it, with X-Plane 12.00 (release). For IFR point-to-point flights, it's still my favorite for providing a realistic ATC radar service, with very good attention to phraseology and procedures. ![]() The developers ceased development some time back, and in so doing generously left the program to the community as freeware (available from the AVSIM library). For those that aren't aware, Radar Contact was a payware ATC product created by a collaboration between an FAA air traffic controller and a programmer (Doug Thompson and John Dekker) for the ESP-based sims (FS9, FSX, P3D). I've successfully gotten the venerable Radar Contact V4 offline ATC program working with XP12. ![]()
