messed up panels????????

[pubba]

tried using my graphics card to do the anti-alising in FS9 but it inlarges the panel wich renders them somwhat useless. any ideas on how to correct this? hope its somthing simple

What graphics card are you using?  Have you tried updating the graphics drivers?

[pubba]

have all current drivers

I leave the anti allising set to program controll I have never messed with it.  8)

but graphics cards work way better than FS9 ant-aliasing or so i thought.

have all current drivers

That might be the problem. I have an NVidia GForce 4. Last time I updated my drivers I got the same enlarged panels and stretched scenery in Fs9. Luckily I set a restore point before installing new drivers. If possible you may want to go back a driver version and see if that fixes things.

Nope only the default aircraft have normal panels now,most add-ons are stretched and enlarged,any other ideas

I copied this from my own fs9.cfg.

[PANELS]
IMAGE_QUALITY=1
UNITS_OF_MEASURE=0
QUICKTIPS=1
PANEL_MASKING=1
PANEL_STRETCHING=1

What happens if you change the value of the last entry to 0?

Pubba,

I had the very same problem just this week from downloading a new driver to my nvidia card.

I was advised to DELETE my fs9.cfg file. When you bring it back up, it will re-generate a new fs9.cfg file. I did that reluctantly, but it worked!!

NO MORE oversized files.

If you don't know where to find the fs9.cfg file it is in WINDOWS/APPLICATION DATA/MICROSOFT.

Try it, you'll like it.
