Quick Stupid Question regarding 2D / 3D vc

Postby stonedferret » Fri Nov 27, 2015 12:10 pm

I feel a bit silly asking but i can't seem to find the solution. :oops: :oops:

When switching between 2D panel to VC how can you keep pop-up panels from having to be reloaded.
It's not a huge thing, but it does seem a bit strange that they stay in the 2D panel but disappear when you switch to VC :?:

Thanks for any help on this.

Stoned, A
Are you using one monitor or two? If two then you can right click on the pop up panel and undock it: then just move it to your second monitor. Does that help?

If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.

With only one monitor it is not possible, the VC view dont fix the windows as the 2D panel does.

The objects loaded into the 2D and VC panels are different.

I tend to stick to only one panel type, during my flights.

In my case, its generally the 2D panel which I use, and contains any new gauges which I have fitted with the aid of FS Panel Studio!

It may be unreal, but I quite like the ease of viewing the whole of the instrument panel in front of me, whilst flying!

Thanks for the information.

I only use 1 monitor at the moment.
I had a feeling the VC didnt keep the pop up panels like the 2D did.

Thanks again. :D
