May 17, 200818 yr Ah! In that case, take a snapshot of the original panel and use it for placement/size relationships. Or better yet, make it like a picture of a real panel on the web.
May 17, 200818 yr You also want to make sure the gauge is square sized, double click on it and make the X and Y size the same once you get it close to it's correct size.
May 18, 200818 yr >>I guess the hard part is getting the bitmap to your liking.>Moving the gauges is easy but time consuming.>DolphWhy do you have to mess with resizing the .bmp -- in FSPanelStudio can't you press the "Set Default Window Position" button - it's the 3rd or 4th one from the right -- and resize it in there? Once you do it once and get the percentage right, it should be a snap after that. Unless I'm missing something. Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.

May 18, 200818 yr If you have 2 outputs on your video card, consider saving your self some money and just get the dual head to go version, and plug the 3rd monitor into the second head on your video card. If running in windowed mode anyway I don't see any advantage to the 3HTG. Make sure you use the video card compatibility tools on their website to be sure your card is . . . well, compatible with the 2HDTG or 3HTG.I sent both my TripleHeadToGo and my TrackIR back after only a very short time and I am much happier with my 3 or 4 flat panels alone (I too don't like the perspective on VCs).

May 18, 200818 yr Hi Chuck,I tried it. No dice. These controls merely act the same way as a mouse drag would within FS9. Might be useful for setting the outside view to be the correct height after the panel is modded, but the bitmap still needs to be lengthened to gain the round gauges. That is all. Carry on.
