I was setting up my flight to use the tutorial #2, EHAM to LOWI, and somewhere along the path I have messed up the HUGS. It appears that the display with the hgs is in some type of zoom mode and is moved down to the lower left corner. I have tried using the eyepoint positioning controls and am able to move the display about the center of the hgs but either the hgs is zoomed in while the display within is zoomed out (hope that makes sense). Anyway, not sure what keyboard key I hit or some switch on the aircraft that I mistakenly hit, but if someone could sort of point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. At this point I can not use the hgs to assist with the approach into LOWI.

 

Thanks in advance

Have you made any chanes to your fsx.cfg? It sounds like WideViewAspect is set to false.

I guess its the same thing happening when you restart fsx, usually it reverts back to normal if it doesnt revert back to normal again than some thing has gone amiss some where. As the previous post suggested make sure the wideaspect view is set to true. But since you already know this already hopefully you would have checked this . If you made a back up copy of your user/yourname/appdata/roaming/microsoft/fsx than its just a simple task of reinstalling it again. Saved me when i lost my hugs display .

After reading your response I've check my fsx.cfg file and confirmed the wideviewaspect=false. As I mentioned before I was setting up the flight for tutorial #2 and I think I was working the part about setting up the hgs for departure. When I initially looked at the hgs everything seemed normal, but after the setup and I clicked to bring up the hgs for departure the display within the hgs was huge and down in the lower left corner so only a small amount was actually showing. Since then I have not been able to reset the hgs display back to normal. I sit here and contemplate whether it is easier to just reinstall both the NGX along with FS2crew.

Just change WideViewAspect to true. It needs to be set to true for the horizontal scaling.

as kenneth has said since you have stated its false and you havnt changed it true, just change it to true and report back again if it fixes your problem not leaving it to false and still saying you have the same problem. beside if you do a re install you still need to change it to true
