Looking for help with resizing the 2D overhead panel

 

I have recently built a new computer with an HD7770 video card using three monitors.  When I attempt to open the 2D overhead panel, the panel will not show up and the curser starts blinking with a blue circle.  After a bit of research, the issue seems top be with panel sizes and 3 monitor resolutions.

 

The question I am asking here, as I have never re-sized a panel is;

 

1.Can anyone recommend a good starting size

2. which of the 5 panel config files would be the one to change, I am guessing it is the panel_Wide as I have wide view set to TRUE

 

Any help with this would be much appreciated

While I don't use the 2D mode at all I wanted to suggest you consider getting the EZDok camera view system. I had a lot of issues trying to set up the views I wanted using the built-in capabilities of FSX and tried to edit some of the config files. For me it didn't work out well.

 

After I bought and installed EZDok, I was able to easily create the exact views I wanted and assign those to keys or buttons on my stick. It turned out great. Much easier to do. You'll be able easily select the over head panel and zoom in and out to get the exact size and viewing area you want!!

 

I divided the overhead up into 3 panels in my EZDok views: INS panel area, main center over head area and close up of just the lower over head "eye brow" lighting panel.

I'm going to look into that right away, thanks for the input
