The Royal French Navy (RFN) Gauge is a very powerful (and free) utility that can read and assign TACAN frequencies to a list of ships. This gauge not only provides a handy navigational reference providing bearing and range the ship you select, but it also allows the user to reposition his/her aircraft on deck on the ship. You can get the gauge at royalefrenchnavy.restauravia.fr/RFN-Creations and we strongly recommend it. The gauge ships with a list of freeware ships and various TACAN frequencies and settings for these ships. Haze Gray Studios (with kind permission of the RFN team) simply provides an alternative list of ships for this gauge to read, in order to use this gauge with FLEET TRAFFIC: US Navy. For your reference, we provide a table of ships and frequencies in Appendix F in the manual. The RFN Gauge basic reads an XML file called RFN_Carrier.xml and this is where the list of ships and corresponding settings are stored. Our alternative version of this file will be found in your Haze Gray Studios\Documentation folder. Once you have the RFN gauge installed and working, you simply replace the RFN_Carrier.xml file with the version we provide. This file needs to be copied to the Gauges folder in your root FSX/P3D folder. We have zipped the original for you as well in case you want to revert. In this initial version of FLEET TRAFFIC: US Navy, we recommend only using the gauge and frequencies to find our ships from the air from about 90 Nautical Miles out. Please make sure to read the RFN directions carefully to install the gauge to aircraft of your choice. |

The following 'quick install' instructions are found in the documentation folder of the RFN gauge download.
This may seem obvious to some, but it isn't to many, but it is important to understand that the gauge must be installed into each aircraft with which you intend to use the gauge. So if you fly Dino's F-14 or S-3, both great aircraft, then you need to 'add the gauge' to these aircraft. That means some verbiage needs to be added to the panel.cfg file for those aircraft, which is found inside the panel folder for each airplane and/or rotorcraft. That verbiage follows below:
After the last "Windows"section add:
[WindowXX]
Background_color=0,0,0
type=special
size_mm=170,290
windowsize_ratio=1.0
window_pos=0.810,0.370
visible=0
ident=49
gauge00=RFN_CarrierGauge!Close_Subpanel, 0, 2, 18, 18, c49
gauge01=RFN_CarrierGauge!Aircraft_Carrier_Indicator, 0, 0, 170, 220
gauge02=RFN_CarrierGauge!Radio_TACAN_ARN52B, 0, 222, 170, 068
// To change the dimensions of the gauge, modify the value of windowsize_ratio.
// Don't modify the order of the gauge.
C) In the section [VCockpit01] add the following lines:
//-------------Gauge Carrier Operations Nav2----------------------------
gauge81=RFN_CarrierGauge!TACAN_Navigation, 0, 0, 0, 0, Nav2
gauge82=RFN_CarrierGauge!CustomCatapult, 0, 0,
gauge83=RFN_CarrierGauge!Approach_Ctrl, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0
gauge84=DSD_Sound_Gauge!Sound, 0, 0,
// To activate power fire, modify the last criteria (0.0) in the gauge 83 line (ยง 4-5).
// For T45 Dino Cattaneo copy these lines in the present first [VCockpitXX]).
// For a panel without Virtual Cockpit section, copy these lines after gauge02 line.
Remember to adjust the gauge numbers so that they are in a one-up incremental serial -- meaning you might need to change gauge81=something to gauge01=something if the last entry in that section is gauge00=something.

Purchased your navy AI software yesterday - you say it works in p3d4 but the RFN gauge will only work in 32bit p3d - I do not have that version only p3d4, why recommend it then. Surely your advert should say p3d4 with some reservations.
I may not be very good with AI traffic stuff and maybe seeing the flying helo onto the ship made me buy it. I found your instructions a bit daunting and could not understand the google maps files either. Maybe I should reread and try to digest it better, rather dissapointed but maybe I am the only one.
All the best

The RFN Carrier Gauge was updated last year to v5.0 and now works in 64-bit P3Dv4. 32-bit compatibility is still supported.
