Why can't I move these panel windows?

Featured Replies

I sometimes want to move a 2D panel window (FS9) from its default position - for instance, moving an overhead panel to the top instead of having it open in the middle of the screen, as per 'out-of-the-box, or have the radio/throttle windows open somewhere over the main panel, instead of in front of the a/c window, blocking all views. But just occasionally I download a new a/c where the panel refuses to play ball (i.e. the B737-800 Scheffel). No matter what I do, changing the co-ordinates/window position & size in the panel.cfg file, the windows stubbornly open in the same place (which is not in position 0 through 8 either). It's not because I'm doing something wrong, I'm 99% sure - as far as the panel.cfg file is concerned I feel I could edit it in my sleep, I've done it so many times over the past 10 years; and 99.9% of the time, the windows open where I put them.The handy FS9 panel layout saver programme has no effect, and dragging the windows to where I want them, saving the flight and re-opening the saved flight also does nothing - the window co-ordinates do not seem to be incorporated in the .flt file and the windows open in their usual, not terribly helpful position.Is this a 'feature' written into some panels, whose authors don't want their work changed in the slightest degree? (Can't see why changing the position of a window or two for my own use would upset anyone, but maybe??). If so, fair enough, but I would end up simply uninstalling the panel. That said, I can't see how that feature would be incorporated into the panel.cfg (but then I am not really an expert in this).Could someone kindly enlighten me as to why just a few panels don't seem to respond to tweaks in the panel.cfg file.Many thanks,Martin

oh, I might have cracked this - there's an entry for each panel window pixelsize=x,y (not usual? why would that be there?). I think if I delete that things seem to start behaving..?M.
