Main panel resize (newbie)

[Bob Schmidt]

Been playing with a paint program (always a dangerous thing).

FS2002 Cessna 172 panel. I want to add a Hula doll to the top of the dashboard. So the panel goes from the original 1024x541 pixels to 1024X835 pixels. So now the panel appears squashed down into the 1024x541 window on FS.  How do I tell FS to make the panel window taller?

Thanks.

Hi Bob. I'm more used to the full screen sized BMPs used in CFS. Try changing this line

size_mm=1024, 541

to this

size_mm=1024, 835

or this

size_mm=1024

You might need to reposition the gauges. These are positioned from the top of the BMP.

The overlaid panel gauges are all that change with any of those lines. I cannot get the background bmp window to change no matter what I alter in panel.cfg. I was hoping there was some other section or file that controlled that window. So far, I haven't found it.

Thanks for trying, though.
