flight panel in the wrong size

Postby Fox_Molder » Sat Aug 28, 2004 1:47 am

I am working on my Baron, I change the bit maps Quality to max(in display config). and then i went to check and the panel was over sized. i resized the window. put it back in full screen than all was fine.

I left the game and came back in it again. it it was all over sized again. how do i save my cockpit the way I like it. every time i have to resize it before take off.

please help.
ps I found some config for the baron. it fly way better now. thanks to John Consterdine web site........  :'( sad story I red all i could find about him

If I understand you right, you, like I, resize the panel to give a better view out the windscreen.

Once you've done this, and any other changes you've made, like dark cockpit, etc., save the flight. If you wish you can make it the default flight.

Then you choose the flight from the 'select flight' screen, your changes will be there. Of course the airport, time and weather  will also be saved.

If you have saved it as default flight, you can use the 'create flight' screen to change location, etc., and as long as you dont change the aircraft you will start with your changes.

Cheers,
Dave

ok that work fine. thank you.  ;D

but the problem affect all aircraft. the 2d is always (exept when i save like you suggested)2 time the size, i see only 1/4 of it and this is the reason i have to resize it. I am wondering why it did that only by changing the quality of the display.

thank you for you answers it help. I least now i can do my flight around the world without this problem.
i am now at my 3rd leg crossing Canada (left at KSEA, i am now at CYBR)

Heya Fox,

Just a thought, but, do you have FSUIPC v3.30 installed?

...just another thought, dont have FS9 available as that computer is in the shop, but....

Somewhere, I'd guess under Options, Settings,??, I remember a checkbox for 'Resize panel with window'. Maybe this is a solution.
